pregnancy aftershocks

I have yet one more complaint about being pregnant. For those of you who don't know, I have crappy pregnancies that start with being so sick I have IV's to feed me and end with me being on tons of medications to not be sick as well as retaining water. Now all pregnancies leave you with a lovely reminder that your body will never be the same. After Austin was born I lost a bunch of hair and gained a bunch of weight, with Paityn I'm still discovering the after shocks. I have started loosing my "new hair" that grew because of the hormones and I'm honestly covered with stretch marks from my neck to my toes. For those of you who have never seen stretch marks on feet and didn't know you could get them there, i will show you mine someday. With Paityn I was lucky enough to hold 40 LBS of water in my skin. My feet swelled up to the point that some days I couldn't even walk and all this water is what caused the stretch marks to happen on my feet. Well due to the extreme swelling that me feet endured, my baby toe nails on each feet started to look as though they were going to die. I was able to save the one on my right foot but the one on my left foot FELL OFF today. Chalk one more crappy aftershock up to being pregnant! I honestly didn't know that having kids would cost me my toenails!
