I'm really feeling like I'm falling apart...I've got shockingly dry skin and rashes coming up on fingers and legs, a pregnancy tumour on my gums, yuk hair, a waddle going on and I could fall asleep right now (what’s it like to have 4 hours sleep in a row again?).
Oh and my SIL’s wedding on Saturday and will no doubt have to face family photos feeling like a dugong. (weird looking sea animal for those not in the know) Time to pull out the pampering gear I think! Ok whinge over! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

aahhhh Paws I so know how you feel!! I feel just the same, like a big blubbery zit ridden stringy dry hair monster - most unsexy!
All I can say is you are not alone! And it is my birthday on friday and hubby has insisted we go out to dinner with some family and I REALLY dont want to go cos I just cant face tryign to find anything to wear or even tryign to make myself look decent - I sympathise!  ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

I say go out and treat yourself with the works. New clothes and a trip to the spa. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I third that about going out and treating yourself - a bit of retail therapy always helps plus some pampering at a day spa - must go and do that myself soon  I am thinking a nice massage......------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

Paws, sounds like you're in the need of a bit of pampering, maybe a massage, to get your spirits back up. Hope the wedding went ok and that you felt up to the family photos.

mmm, I would love some retail therapy, a hair style/cut or even a massage but my problem is funds as well. Even my credit card is saying no more!!! ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

Imo, its just not fair to make pregnant women go to formal events. We had to go to one on Saturday night and I wound up in tears trying to find something suitable to wear that I didn't feel like a heifer in.
I hope you're feeling better now Paws, and found a suitable way to spoil yourself! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Yeah the wedding went really well - though it was REALLY frustrating seeing all the loverly seafood buffet and nibbles that were off limits to me *sigh* - stocked up really well on desserts though!!
I felt pretty good on the day, had my hair down by the hairdresser and decided to just believe everyone who told me that I look really good! In the end the good thing is that everyone was looking at the gorgeous bride (of course!) ------------- http://lilypie.com">
