Varicose Vein...

From my groin to my crotch. No joke. OUCH! It hurts!! After the doctor's office sending me this email reply "Yes, it is normal." That's it nothing else. I still waited for a phone call because on call doc said that he thought it should be looked at. I took a nap, and slept through my alarm. Woke up at 1pm and called at 130 when they got off lunch. Was told they couldnt get me in, and talked to nurse. Who told me to ask my husband to look at it.

Yes. She said that. My hubby says, "Isnt that what doctors are for?" So he looks when he gets home, unwillingly on my part. How humbling this is. He didnt see anything on crotch, except crazy swelling but I am sure it is there some where...then he noticed where my leg meets groin there is a lovely blue ropey vein. FML!!

So next week I will be purchasing the lovely lady jock strap along with a bella band or possibly maternity spanx. Because reviews of the V2 though it does give relief from swelling and pain in groin/crotch area, it also gives you a quad butt and extra love handles, and isnt too comfy (cuts into your butt and belly at times..) I hear. Joy. $70 bucks. Which might be covered by insurance, making it $14 instead.

While I imagine it is going to feel like a midevil torture device on me, I can tel you...it isnt very comfortable with a swollen crotch either!!

I am in disbelief that this has to happen to me too. I feel emotional about it and cry and think, really God...why? Am I that funny to watch endure such things? Am I your comedy show up there?

Then little man kicks, and though it doesn't make me forget I have an achey crotch it does remind me how incredibly blessed I am. His kicks are getting more frequent. And it is quite lovely to feel. They make me laugh. :-)

Yesterday night the TV was up loud and little man was active as all get out. Probably helped that I had just drank cranberry grape juice. Anyways, we were watching The Lovely Bones. And my sister and husband refused to come sit by me and watch the movie with their hand on my belly to be able to feel the kicks. I told them I am not offering the opportunity to them any more. Seriously, he was having his own dance party in there!! And they were too lazy to move next to me. I promise varicose vein in your genitals isn't contagious by touching my belly! :-)

But they truly missed out. Because he was putting on one heck of a show! He is worth a disgusting swollen labia. And bruised belly from daily shots. And the pain it took to get here. Grow baby grow! But please be nice to momma from here on out...

(17w5d max then little man will be forced to meet the world. All I ask is that he stay put til at least 36 weeks...so I will feel fine with him choosing to vacate early)
