in the famous words of charlie brown (who is popular at our house right now), good grief. i think i have finally 'hit the wall' as they say. i will get my whining out of the way first:
1. my morning sickness is back in full force. i actually just had to take a zofran at my desk to keep from puking in front of my co-workers. it is not fun even in the beginning but it is a little comforting because i always take it as a sign that things are going good with the baby growing/hormones/etc. now - it is just wrong. to be large and in charge and getting sick when you get out of bed is not cool. this did not happen with my first pregnancy at all.
2. i am not sleeping well. not at all. i think i got up to pee at least 5 times last night and i could not even fall asleep until midnight and the alarm goes off at 5:30am. i am also at the point where it takes an act of congress to roll over in bed and especially getting my rear end up and in the bathroom is a challenge.
3. i couldn't put my wedding rings on my fat finger on saturday. i did get them partially on and they wouldn't budge. my finger turned purple in seconds and i freaked out just a little. i did get them on today - luke was asking why i keep trying. hello - i like my rings and i like to wear them. and if i am being totally honest i don't like the sideways glances i get walking around with my belly and no "proof" of marriage.
4. i am tired. my husband is tired. colin is never tired. :) luke was out of town last week travelling for work. thank the heavens he will be home with us all week but he is still working like a mad man. he didn't get home from work last night (sunday) until 1:30am....pure craziness. luckily for us we have a pretty amazing 2 year old that is happy to lounge on the couch, or run around the house with the dog, or color picture after picture after picture. all in all, he is taking it pretty easy on us which i am so thankful for.
5. work is tiring. i have a different job this pregnancy (well, sort of the same job but a different boss). i am not chauffered to work on a daily basis (man, that was nice), and when i get home in the evening there is a certain toddler that wants/deserves my love and attention, not to mention dinner and a bath. ha!
even with all of this complaining i am just so excited. another difference with this pregnancy is that i know how amazing it will be when little brother is here. last time i hoped/thought i knew what it would be like, but i really had no idea. i think that is why i am hitting the wall a little bit - because i know how sweet it will be when he is finally here and i am ready for that to happen. only about 6 more weeks though so i will put on my big girl panties and stop with all of the whining. according to pregnology.com, as of today we only have 46 days to go until i am for real full term. :) and i go back to the doctor tomorrow morning - hoping and praying for good news and to get some good pics of the little boy in my belly.
