Never thought I'd see the day

I really never thought the day would come when I'd be clamoring for my pantyhose. Uh oh, I said the word...panty!! All the guys just went running! Feel free to leave guys, I'm not talking to you anyway. You ladies might know what I'm talking about. Especially you gals that have had many pregnancies.

Yep, you heard right, I long to wear my pantyhose these days. In June. Pregnant. In fact the pregnancy is what is making want to wear my pantyhose. And not just any pantyhose...special compression ones! (Warning: The picture on that link isn't for the faint of heart! Hee hee.) The ones that suck in your legs like a couple of sausages. They are great! No really, I'm serious. Before I got these pantyhose my legs and belly were so sore from standing and running around all day. That's what happens when you've had a lot of pregnancies. Your body starts to fall apart...literally. I don't know how ladies manage having 6, 8, 10 + pregnancies. They must have bodies of steel. I love my babies and my kids. And I have really easy pregnancies with only minor complaints. But all these pregnancies are aging me big time. For goodness sakes I'm wearing old lady pantyhose!! And I'm loving it! Something is seriously wrong with this picture. But I won't turn away from my lovely pantyhose. They provide such relief!

I was recently telling a gal in my ward (Who is pregnant with twins. These are her first babies.) all about my compression pantyhose and how great they were. She just couldn't believe that I would wear pantyhose in the summer. Sure, that's what you'd expect to hear from someone having their first pregnancy, even if she is having twins! I was doing pretty well myself until baby number 4. I could tell when I was pregnant with Kennedy that my body wasn't hacking it like usual. And well, baby number 5 pregnancy has just broken me. It's probably because I'm so busy with all the other kids and I rarely have any time to sit down and rest. That makes it worse. Heaven help me if I have a 6th. Just put me in my compression hose from day one and wheel me around in a wheel chair!
