Is it just me or have I been pregnant forever??????

Time to vent a little...

Ok, I know we are very blessed. We are SO happy to be having Emma and can't wait for her arrival - but I'm REALLY ready to have this baby. Sometimes I just don't know if I can take another day. I'm getting tired of rolling myself out of bed (sometimes Brad has to push me out!), peeing every 5 minutes, feeling like I have a lead weight in my belly, and feeling so tired - I mean exhausted. Did you know that you can actually get heartburn from water??? Well, you can when you're 9 months pregnant! And there are several other wonderful challenges, but I'll spare you the details. (You can thank me later.) I miss taking really hot baths, sleeping on my stomach, eating cookie dough, and weighing less. I'm tired of people's advice, being compared to other women & their pregnancies and being told I'm too small. Can I just be me? I'm not too small! I have gained the right amount of weight, 28 lbs so far with 3 weeks to go! You are supposed to gain 25-35 lbs in a healthy pregnancy! Whoever said Brad and I would produce a 10 lb baby anyway?? The only things I am not tired of are my sweet husband and feeling Emma move (except when she punches my bladder)! These are the only things getting me through each day right now!

Many, many women have had it worse than me and I'm very thankful to have had a relatively problem free pregnancy. But, let's get on with the transition to parenthood. It will have it's own challenges, but at least we'll have sweet Emma to enjoy.

P.S. Brad is convinced she's coming early. Time will tell!
