So at this point in my pregnancy I'm incredibly uncomfortable. My feet and hands swell, all I feel like doing is sleeping. My whole body is in pain and I have to pee every five seconds. Not to mention the contractions i have. UGH.
Miss Ev is doing well. She is a big girl and she should probably join soccer or karate cause this girl can KICK. I swear that shes going to break a rib soon. I'm so excited to meet her I can't even explain it! I love her so much.
With the anticpation of having my baby girl, I'm so nervous for labor. Millions of women have done it before but I'm still scared. I know its going to hurt and the after math of pregnancy sounds well, awful. I'll be honest I'm NOT looking forward to having a period again. Especially the after pregnancy period. I've heard the horror stories and I'm NOT excited for that. I'm also not excited for what my body will look like after words too. I don't mean to be shallow, but ugh.. I go from having a big belly which is "cute" because there is a baby in it. But now that Ev will be out, it will just be a belly.. and it won't be cute. Oh boy..
but I am excited to be able to bend over, roll, and move without feeling like I'm going to rip or blow up. I'm also very excited to have a sweet baby to hold and kiss.
but with that I'm also nervous to have a baby to hold and kiss. Its going to be so weird..
As you can see.. I'm conflicted here! Lots of new changes and weird things about to happen. I hope I can handle it all. Now all I do is spend my time napping, eating and being lazy. I won't be able to do any of these things so freely anymore. I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
well I'll try and keep updated as much as I can.. I usually have a lot to say but I guess I've gotten the lazy bones lately and just like to lay around and nap. I know I always over share and I'm not one to keep things away, but for now I want things to work out how they will before I open my mouth. I don't want to ruin a good thing, or make a bad thing worse.. (I realize I'm probably not making much sense, I'm sleepy!!) but once the story works itself out a little more, I'll let ya'll know :)
Don't be scared of labor- Contractions are the worst part, in my opinion, but also don't be scared to get an epidural (idk how you feel about them, but really its the single best thing invented.. ever!) not only does it help with pain, but it helps relax and rest your body for pushing! But honestly, labor is an amazing experience. It's hard. Pushing is alot of work, but nothing will ever compare to it and the feeling of seeing your baby for the very first time. I am SO excited for you!
ReplyDeleteOh, and yeah, your body looks like a big bag of poo after you have a baby! Haha! Especially if you have gotten stretch marks through the pregnancy, I got like a hundred I swear, and after you have the baby they are hideous. Buuuuut I just keep tellin myself I got a beautiful lil girl out of them:)
And last- You are going to love having a daughter. Seriously, the relationship/bond you have with her is too good for words. I can't even explain it!
Okay, sorry for the mile long comment :/ Haha.
