Oh brother. What a quandary. So much going on I don't know where to start. I guess I will start with my physical health here at 38 weeks. I seem to be gaining weight by the boatload. I went from 193 on August 18 to 197 on Sept. 3... that's like 5 lbs in 2 weeks?! How is that even possible? I'm not eating any more than usual. I've been on a few walks... but mostly I am uncomfortable, exceptionally large, and very tired. I'm almost at 200lbs and I can tell my body can't take much more of this.
On top of that, for the past few weeks I've had excrutiating pain in my achilles tendon whenever I bend over at the waist. Ouch!! Shoots right up through my heel. Common in pregnancy from what I read. Also very common in pregnancy is carpal tunnel syndrome... which has been driving me crazy the past week. Mostly on my right arm... it just starts buzzing. Totally numb and buzzy. My hand and my armpit ... my whole arm from my armpit to my hand. Ugh! Right now my right hand is numb as I type this.
Both of my arms and hands fall asleep when I sleep in bed at night. It's just awful. :( My feet are swelled up constantly like balloons. Ew. And it hurts to walk anywhere for any amount of time. It's all such a pain!
Now- add to all of this - that we just had Hurricane Irene who completed destroyed our finished basement because of a power outage and our sump pumps and b-dry like system not running.... My husband had to tear out all the carpeting in the basement. We lost 2 desks, 4 book cases, a very expensive G4 Mac computer, a very expensive vacuum cleaner, and now our basement looks like shit and is completely unusable. We have hundreds of books EVERYWHERE down there and no where to put them.
Now I am getting WACKY with ideas that our house may be completely infested with black mold. We have moisture problems EVERYWHERE!!!!!! Wet basement, no ventilation in the kitchen, water leaked panels on all of our windows, leaky roof...etc... what a mess... I can see large patches of paint on the walls that the previous owner painted over as well... they are swelled... MOISTURE. I'm seriously going to have a breakdown over here. On top of THAT mess - they are now putting in a gas line near our home for gas drilling?! WTF.
I feel like we got swindled into buying this house and I fucking hate our real estate agent. A sneaky stupid asshole who did not have our best interest in mind- only to sell a house. SURPRISE!!!!
Next house we get is going to be brand new and built by us from scratch or will be a newer spec home with no moisture problems. Cripes for as thorough as I was and as paranoid as I was about buying a home and making sure we didn't get SCREWED in the process- we still got hosed. How naive of us!! How naive to believe the home inspector too. That flaming a-hole. Everybody is so fucking shady. Nobody will return my calls and we never met the seller at closing. It all just figures. F!!!!
Anyway- here we are. Still fucking waiting for the home insurance guy to come and tell us if our basement flooding, spoiled food, and mold removal will be covered.. it's been a week now. 7 fucking days. Now I have to also worry about the HVAC system having mold in it because we had the AC on for 5 hours yesterday and when I came home.. 5 hours later... it REEKED of mold in here again. Fucking fantastic.
I just want to move. We are still locked in for another year with that $8k payout we got with buying the house so if we want to move it won't be for another year anyway... greatttt.... oh well- I'm sure it will be here before we know it. This November will be 2 years at this house... Next November we can put it on the market and move somewhere DRY and bigger... because there is NO ROOM here for another baby after this one.
