More Things I Hate About Being Pregnant

11. Additional work-I am responsible for providing lesson plans for the 3 months I will be out, so I have been working overtime (unpaid, of course) to get this accomplished within the next two months. Sounds like I have a ton of time, but this involves planning for 3 months in addition to my regular planning AND trying to find time to write mid-semester exams which will be due in 4 week. Blarg.
12. Sciatic pain. Nothing like taking a step and crying out in pain in front of 20 high schools to make you feel like a spring chicken. Seriously, they think I am ancient. And since they were all born in the early 90s, I ALSO think I am ancient.
13. Nosebleeds. Little known fact about pregnancy. I wake up in the morning with them and sometimes get them at night too. They make me feel ultra-sexy, in addition to my 25 additional pounds and nice, rotund belly.
14. Impending stretch marks. I actually didn't get stretch marks with Tilda. And it's not the marks themselves that bother me. It's the feeling of stretching. Reminds me of John Carpenter's The Thing.
15. Miss Beer-sob!
