Pregnancy Woes

Okay i will admit upfront that my title is slightly dramatic, i'm sure you're shocked. before i begin my vent i will note that i have relatively easy & symptom free pregnancies...and i haven't struggle getting pregnant either & realize in the big scheme of things i have nothing to complain about...

but seriously this sphere that has attached itself to my front has got to go! thank heavens for stretchy pants {did i really just say that?} otherwise i'd be in my jammies all day. nothing fits...or fits properly. it's tight, it falls down, it isn't long enough, the list goes on. getting dressed is a chore.

and she kicks. hard. and a lot. i don't remember zack kicking this much & how can she be more active than he? i'm bracing myself for her on the other end. yikes.

not to mention {but i am} the heart burn. i never had this with zack either. it is driving me crazy.

plus, one of my pregnancy NON cravings is ice cream. i love ice cream & want to want ice cream again. please?

i'm just all around tired. maybe it was just my day today, but man i'm tired. tired of being pregnant. tired of hitting my stomach on the counter, door, {insert any object here}. tired of having to hoist my stomach to roll over in the middle of the night. and frankly, i'm tired of being tired.

i remember thinking at the beginning of this pregnancy that i was going to really try & just enjoy it this time around. but now i remember why i didn't enjoy it in the first place. news flash...pregnancy is not enjoyable. i love the result, but not so much the process.

i'm ready to tie my own shoes again.

Ahhh, so true! I would like to ditto this post! I know we don't mean to complain, AND yes our pregnancies aren't HORRIBLE, but they are still a challenge for sure! I look forward to the energy I used to have. Infact, I CRAVE it!

Had to comment on this post. Ha! I am right there with you! Rolling over in the middle of the night is like "Heave Ho!" The other day Ryan told me to be careful that I didn't roll over on him or club him with my well...clubs that I have for feet right now-that I might kill him! So tired of being fat!

I have too recently felt your pain. The last few weeks are rough. But as you said, the result makes it worth the misery.

I'm so with you! Just last night I kept thinking how uncomfortable I was. Rolling over is no long a simple task!

So, you needed to post a pic of yourself and your cute baby bump! Come on! I know, you probably just feel huge, but your pregnant and it is okay to feel huge.....hang in there!
