Some days he offers me hope that the end is near, today he brings the harsh reality that I still have 2 months to go. <\/p>\n
True confession time: I am sick of being pregnant. My hips hurt from waddling. I snore loudly enough to wake myself up (I\u2019m sure this is my husband\u2019s favorite part) thanks to my painfully swollen sinuses. I can\u2019t breathe well enough to do anything physical for longer than 5 minutes which is a blow to a girl who likes to run five miles just for fun. The baby kicks so hard that I can\u2019t sleep at night unless I lay on my back and then he\u2019s up in my chest so I can\u2019t breathe. Heartburn keeps me from eating after 4:00 in the afternoon which means I cook dinners I can\u2019t eat and then am starving by the morning. <\/p>\n
In theory, I think that it\u2019s cool that pregnancy takes 40 weeks and that the number 40 in the Bible means \u201cin the fullness of time.\u201d Can\u2019t we figure out some way to speed this up a bit? <\/p>\n
Not that I\u2019m in any way prepared for a newborn in my life right now. I\u2019d just like to take off the belly like a stinky shirt and set it aside for the day. Just one day to breathe and actually be able to smell things. A day where I can walk up the stairs without having to pause to catch my breath. An evening of being able to eat dinner with my family and not having to lie down by 8:00, which would mean I could actually tuck my children in and kiss them goodnight.<\/p>\n
So, Curse you, little spinning baby! Can\u2019t you count any faster?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
