For most pregnant women that just means crap- I still have 5 more weeks.
For me that means I've made it a week further than I did with Paige!
I am so excited to be this far along, but I'm starting to feel slightly miserable and pathetic.
Last week the contractions started and I earned myself a lovely visit to the hospital, lots of medication to stop the contractions, steroid shots to help my babys lungs develop quicker, and the dreaded bedrest.......
I will forever have sympathy for pregnant women on bedrest. I know it sounds like it should be really easy, but honestly people it's a small form of torture! Luckily I am not on strict bedrest, it's really just to stop my body from having contractions- but I keep getting these tension headaches from laying in one spot for too long, it makes my heartburn worse, I get restless leg syndrome- and well lets just say I am no fun to be around right now!!
My first pregnancy with Carmyn was a breeze. I worked full time until the day I delivered and still managed to go to the gym 3 times a week through the whole pregnancy. I kinda laughed at other women who whinned and complained through their pregnancy and I thought- Oh come on, it's not that bad!- I'm pretty sure I'm getting punished for ever thinking those thoughts! So all you pregnant women out there who are feeling slightly miserable- please call me and I will come to your house and give you all the sympathy you deserve because- I understand!!!
Ok my rampage is over.
My friends and family are absolutely wonderful and seem to just know when to step in and offer their help. It's such a humbling experience to let others serve you by helping with your kids and I appreciate it so much! I only hope I can repay everyone as soon as I get my sweet little boy here!
My cute friend Jodie took some maternity pics of me a couple of weeks ago - before I was bedbound. We had a lot of fun laughing about how awkward it is to try to look decent posing while your pregnant. I think she did a great job- Thanks Jodie!
33 weeks
