Whiny x2

Poor Tony has had some pretty annoying ladies to deal with lately.  Abbie is going through a major whiny phase (yes, it drives me NUTS, too).  But, I've been pretty whiny, too.  I feel like I am dealing with most of the most annoying - but not life-threatening - symptoms of pregnancy at this point.  I'm emotionally sick of gaining weight.  I'm much more sensitive to heat, which is bad considering it has been over 100 degrees and our A/C was broken Friday through Sunday.  I have a ton of stronger BH contractions, which none of my friends seem to be dealing with.  I have had tingling in my right hand and fingers (except the pinky) since the end of June, and it often aggravates my entire arm, feeling like carpal tunnel syndrome.  And now, my ankles and feet are crazy swollen, even when I wake up in the morning.
I realize that this is all the price to pay for being pregnant, but man, I am so exhausted of it all!  I selfishly wish that the baby would come sooner than later just so I can stop dealing with all of this and move on to something else.  Plus, I feel bad for Tony, because he has to hear about it every day.  Sorry, it's hard to not complain about at least one symptom each day.  I probably complain about my hand the most, but that's because it's literally painful and prevents me from even wanting to read a book (hurts to hold the page) or write anything (I put off writing a thank you note for over a week b/c I didn't want to pick up the pen!).
We're also both exhausted of Abbie's whining.  I attribute some of it to teething and some of it to her being 2.  The rest I worry might stem from possible spoiling, which I really hope we're not doing, but it's always possible.
So, this weekend, Tony was nothing short of spectacular.  He helped with organizing the house (which I had insisted on doing more of... probably a product of nesting), helped me with gathering food for our Sunday potluck, let me get 2 hours of rest on Sunday afternoon while he took care of Abbie and cleaned up, and he took care of the grilling for Sunday's dinner.  All of this made getting through the weekend of no A/C so much easier.  I really appreciated the assistance and the rest.  And I know it isn't easy for him to put up with me and Abbie, so I'm extra grateful.  For everyone's sake, I hope the whiny-ness escapes our house very soon!
