A little snip-it about me today....
I think I am tired of being pregnant. I am hot most of the time, my hands get swollen, I can't tie my shoes very easily or paint my toenails either. I feel extremely fat and can't quite get comfortable at night when I am trying to sleep- I alternate sides and as soon as a shoulder or hip falls asleep I have to roll over to the other side only to repeat the process. The second time around being pregnant isn't quite as glamourous as the first! Don't get me wrong, I love the creativity of growing a baby that God developed, but I am just ready for Hamilton to be here! Only 45 more days until he gets here though!
Anybody else ever felt like this?

Honestly, I never really cared about the whole "growing a baby that God developed" thing. Being pregnant sucked both times for me! I think I might have enjoyed it for about 5 minutes the first time I felt little fluttery kicks. That's about it. I wouldn't trade my kids for the world, but if I ever want more, I'm adopting! I will pray that God grants you an extra measure of grace over the next 45 days. I miss you!!
The second pregnancy was worse in a lot of ways for me. The first 24 weeks, I felt pretty good, but after that it was all down hill. I didn't think I could go a day past 35 weeks. I was much more sore and achy the second time, and having diabetes surely did NOT help. By the time I had Ben, I was exhausted! You don't have that rush of adrenaline like you do with the first. But, when they get here, the love you feel for that child overshadows everything else. And, on a shallow note, I loved the feeling that my belly was so flat after giving birth, for a while at least. And, then reality sets in a couple of months later when it's not flattening out anymore and it's even more flabby than it was after the first time! HAHA! Yes, four months out, I am definitely wondering what I'm going to do, other than having a tummy tuck! You will make it. Don't say 45 days--say 6 1/2 weeks!
