Over being pregnant!
I prayed for so many years for this child that's in my womb, I longed for the days where I could experience what it's like to carry a child. I wanted this more than anything I've ever wanted. I am so blessed.
My first 4 months of pregnancy I suffered from HG, I lost so much weight, I was bedridden and sick (think the worst stomach flu you've ever had in your life - but it lasts for FOUR MONTHS). My second trimester was a dream, tons of energy and a small bump, and I have steadily gotten bigger and baby is thankfully healthy as ever.
I am now 36 weeks pregnant and I am SO uncomfortable (have been for a few weeks) and though I am so thankful for this experience, however difficult, I am finding myself frustrated again. In the beginning, I was frustrated that I wanted to do normal things, eat normal foods, leave my bed, see my family.. but couldn't. Now I have the energy, I am no longer sick, but I don't have the energy and my body has so many limitations it reminds me of those first awful months.
I am so thankful for this experience, but I am so, so ready to have my body back. I'm ready to have my baby here. I feel selfish and guilty for feeling this way at times, but I just miss being as active as I once was, I miss being able to eat without worrying (is this going to give me heartburn?!) I miss sleeping on my stomach, I miss NOT worrying about every cramp or every ache. I'm ready to recover from this and hold my baby in my arms.
Anyone feel the same?!!!
