Pregnancy is not for me!
I've decided that those people who are like "oh, i LOVED being pregnant...blah blah blah" are on crack!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me officially declare that I do not like being pregnant. I am excited about the end result (baby) and I do enjoy feeling her move for the most part. Everything else is the work of the devil! I used to plan on trying for baby #2 once baby #1 hit a year old (or thereabouts) but I'm seriously questioning whether I"ll be ready that soon now...essentially 9 months of feeling unlike myself does not motivate me to sign up again any time soon...she better be damn cute to make me forget all this :-P
What has prompted my complain-fest? Well possibly the fact that I have not slept in 3 days. Ok, slight exaggeration...i have napped essentially. But between not being able to breathe, my constantly sore back, and having to pee on average 5-7 times each night I have not been able to fall into a deep sleep in days....I just toss and turn and pee ALL NIGHT LONG. The last couple days I've gotten progressively more sleepy b/c of it....but then last night sent me over the edge. I was soooooooooo tired and all I wanted to do was sleep...but I couldn't! And every time I had to get up yet again to pee I practically started crying...b/c I"m just so exhausted. Laying in bed after like my 4th potty break last night I started to think I was nuts to think I'll survive with a newborn up all night! I mean, then we're talking no sleep and I actually have to open my eyes and be alert enough to nurse and change a baby! :-0
To make matters even worse I felt nauseus all night last night, which added to my lack of sleep. Then this morning I tried getting ready for work and kept gasping for breath (i have a horrible time breathing in the mornings b/c baby moves way up into my lungs during the night....but this morning was especially bad, to the point where i was practically having panic attacks b/c I literally could. not. breathe. Well, then as I'm trying to force myself out the door to work I start puking. Like serious I'm going to die puking. At that point i'm tired, grumpy, can't breathe, and have my head stuck in a toilet....so i decide screw it, i'm staying home! So today I"m home sick. No idea if its baby related or if I caught a stomach bug. Can I nap though? No....b/c every time i try to lay down I can't breathe....and Raya has decided it would be fun to lodge her little foot under my right rib cage and then wiggle around like a mad woman.
Despite all this, every time I go into Raya's room and see all her cute stuff I can't help but be over the moon excited to meet her...i just wish the stork could plop her on my doorstep or something :-)
....6 weeks to go....3 weeks until I'm considered full term....I can handle 3 weeks...I can even handle (grumpily) 6 weeks...if I go overdue I think I'll just die! Raya, set your timer...3 weeks and you're free to come out!
