Once I got over the shock and denial of this pregnancy, I decided to enjoy it. It is my last pregnancy (knock on wood), and so since I wouldn't be experiencing any of these lovely symptoms again, I might as well embrace them.
I embraced morning sickness. Everyday I told myself, I will never have to do this again.
I embraced being ridiculously tired.
I embraced my shirts getting too small and having nothing cute to wear.
I embraced feeling completely overwhelmed.
And of course, I embraced the one good part of being pregnant, feeling the baby move.
Well, here I am now, at 36 wks 4 days and I don't want to embrace this stuff anymore. I'm just so over being pregnant.
The morning sickness returns at random times, and I get mad.
The tiredness never went away, and that makes me mad.
I dread getting dressed in my boring, ugly clothes everyday.
I hate feeling so overwhelmed.
And sometimes when that baby kicks it really hurts!
I also got a few new symptoms to add to list.
I no longer walk...I waddle.
I no longer sleep....I doze from one uncomfortable position to another.
I no longer clean....I do damage control.
Not to mention the constant "bathroom issues", worry over cholestasis returning, and not being comfortable EVER. I hate the last few weeks of pregnancy and all I want to do is just sit on the couch and not do anything else until the baby finally decides to make an appearance. (Which is not even close to possible because of constant Dr.s appointments for me, Ivy and Echo, school starting, and just everyday stuff like cleaning and taking care of the four kids I already have). Here's to hoping this baby comes a smidgen early just to make me happy!
Sorry I'm such a complainer, but you know how it is....Also, if you want to make a guess on all the baby stuff, please do so here! Thanks!

Love all the premade meals. That is AWESOME!!! I always planned to do things like that, but never did. I am so impressed.
We are really hoping for the week before like around the7 or 8 of September. it would be really hard for us to come on the 11 because we would have to leave the next day, when Marde comes,and it's such a long drive for 1 day. But we'll just have to wait and see when the baby decides that it's time.
Love the full freezer!!! Way to go. You just don't give yourself enough credit for being awesome. I kind of wish the freezer were bigger now. Marde
First of all, sorry for all your end-of-pregnancy woes. I feel ya, it can be tough. Second of all, I am so jealous of your picture... Meals made ahead of time!!! I always plan on this, but my babies do tend to come early and I don't get it done it time. I am also incredibly jealous of your freezer space. I can't open my freezer without breast milk falling out. I have to make sure there aren't small children standing in front of the fridge when I open the door or they will get knocked out with frozen breast milk. It's actually a vicious cycle. I need meals prepared ahead of time because I'm so busy pumping and feeding the baby, but I have no room for frozen meals because of all the pumping. I am also jealous of your ice cream, that looks pretty good right now. If you lived closer I would have to find a way to invite myself over and indulge with you. Wow!!! That's long. Hang in there. you will be holding a little munchkin soon and eating some great meals made by a great momma. I seriously admire you and how "together" you are. No wonder Heavenly Father sees fit to send you another baby. You can totally do this!!!
You are so smart! I love the idea of cooking your own meals for making life easier once the baby comes. Pirates Cove looks amazing, but I think I would have done what you did too.
