I’m so over being pregnant. I just want to be able to eat a full meal without reflux burning my throat at all hours. I want to be able to sit up and lay on my back without feeling suffocated. I want the restless legs and leg cramps to stop when I’m trying to fall asleep and relax. I want to be able to shave and look at my vagina and bend over without pain. I want to carry all the heavy objects and not ask for help. I want to be able to walk from one end of the store to the other when I forget to grab something instead of debating if I really need it. I’m tired of peeing 24/7. I miss eating eggs, deli meats, feta cheese, and drinking wine with my husband. I want to be able to ride my husband without getting leg and abdominal cramps and not having my belly hit his when we bump uglies.

But most of all, I just want to hold my baby, listen to her noises, smell her scent and know that I was able to bring her into this world despite the challenges prior to pregnancy and during. Pregnancy sucks... but the end result is worth it all.
