STIR CRAZY!

Okay, I'm a big whiner. But I am GOING CRAZY still being pregnant! I still have 8 weeks left!! I am more then ready to be done! Time is going so slowly. I'm so sick of the aches, pains, heartburn, headaches, nose bleeds, being out of breath, constant need to pee and most of all, the freakin fatigue! I am so drained. I remember being this tired when I was pregnant with Mariska, but I didn't have an almost 3 year old I should be entertaining. I feel like such a terrible mom because I just don't have ANY energy to play. Not to mention being all hormonal and exhausted makes me irritable and prone to over reacting. Just ask Brent.
I am so eager to not be pregnant anymore and to feel at least partially normal again. Sure I'll be tired from 3 AM feedings, but I'm up at 3 AM to pee anyway already, even without an infant. And no, I don't just go right back to sleep because I'm so uncomfortable. And I wake up several times in the night, not only to pee but because it hurts my muscles to even turn over and that wakes me up!
We are trying to induce on December 15th (4 days early) but it all depends on dilation and such... I could try for the 12th, but NO, Brent has an ALL DAY field trip he can't miss! UGH!
So anyway, sorry to whine and complain but I just can't wait to NOT be pregnant anymore!

You have my deepest sympathies. Being pregnant is one of THE hardest things you can put your body through! The pain! The hormones! The lack of understanding from men!

It's gonna suck till it's done sucking...that's why it's always good to let things out and vent away whenever you need to.

The thing I'm least looking forward to being pregnant again (which I'm not) is the headaches. I had a small one last night, and my mind instantly flashed back to all the excruciating week-long migraines I would have. Sorry you're having another rough one, but it'll be over before you know it and you'll probably even be wishing from some of it again during a particularly rough bout of all-night feeding frenzy. Hopefully, that won't be the case, though.

I know it's hard, but remember that at least you are blessed to be able to have children. Count your blessings and realize that your pregnancies are easy in comparison to others. In the whole scheme of things, this will be a mere moment, one you will someday miss.

Enough preaching?

I know my pregnancies are easier than a lot of people's, it's just real hard to remember that when you're woken up at 3 AM from the unbearable pain of a charlie horse that makes your whole leg hurt for 2 days!! Or can barely walk from crotch pain... it just stinks!

Having NO headaches was THE only thing I liked about being pregnant. Ahhh...that was nice.
