The eighth month

Yesterday at the great southland (A monster shopping centre in Melbourne) The good lady wife I got a bit jacked off with each other over a parking the car incident, we got over it quickly enough but I still felt a bit hard done by. Later that night I read the list below in What to Expect When You're Expecting and it kinda put the whole parking thing into perspective.

Fortunately for TGLW, she's not rocking all of these symptoms but the following is a list of how she might be feeling. Guys take note, she is probably rocking at least half of these symptoms, so seriously, let her tell you where to park the car!

Physically:

• Strong kicking
• Vaginal discharge
• Constipation
• Heartburn etc.
• Headaches, dizziness or feintness
• Nasal congestion, occasional nosebleeds and earaches
• Sensitive gums
• Cramps and backache
• Pelvic pain
• Swollen ankles / feet
• Varicose veins
• Haemorrhoids
• Itchy belly
• Popped out belly button
• Stretch marks
• Shortness of breath because all of her insides are crowded with the bub
• Crappy sleep
• Braxton Hicks
• Clumsiness
• Enlarged boobs (Yay!)
• Pre milk leaking from the nipples.

And on top of all that the emotional stuff:

• Hanging out for the pregnancy to be over
• Scared about the delivery and being a mum
• Absentmindedness
• And generally just more emotional

So yeah, you might say the whole parking the car thing, not such a big deal after all!
