Joys (Sarcasm) of Pregnancy & Motherhood

Just a little rant, don't mind me!

I have never been this large in my life. I think I will need to lose about 70 pounds by the time this is over. EEK! I gained 50 with Skylar (I earned every pound but I was ALWAYS hungry) and I am still always hungry this time, but trying to keep it healthier. I had only wanted to gain 20 this time but I have just hit that mark with two months left, so that was a nice pipe dream. Alas, I will have a lot of weight to lose after this baby boy joins us! BUT not as much.

My legs and feet cramp, especially at night. It's pretty painful to wake up to! My hands are always falling asleep at night as well. I was wearing a wrist brace for a bit because of wrist pain but it's feeling better now, I just hope it continues to stay that way. Apparently there is a thing called Pregnancy carpel tunnel. Yay!

The sudden shooting pains in my lower region are getting old quickly. Practice for labor? Doesn't my body know I have scheduled a c-section for it? Apparently not. Sigh. I was going to try for a VBAC but when the doc told me I had a higher change of my uterus ripping I quickly said "C-section it is".

And the little miss.... she has grown to HATE diaper changes, she throws tantrums on the changing table which can lead to quite messy outcomes if I don't have a good hold of her after a poo. Joyous! Motherhood.

I sometimes wonder why I thought a second one would be a great idea? I mean, I do think it will be awesome but there are certain days/hours/minutes when I think - remember when I could lie on the couch with the dogs without interruption for hours? Go to dinner with a friend without thinking twice? Make weekend get away plans without blinking an eye? Ah, those days are gone. But don't get me wrong. I adore my little lady and wouldn't trade her for the world. It's just sometimes those days/hours/minutes are a bit trying... I am sure you understand!

Anyways...

The renovation has started and the dogs love to bark! They bark at people, trucks, birds, nothing, mail drop offs, anything they think might wake the baby up. It's a good time. BUT in good news in a month or so we will have proper bedrooms and a bathroom for the wee ones, so it's worth it.

Ok, I sound like a Debbie Downer and I am truly not feeling like one in the least - so - I hope you all have a fantastic Thursday and I will catch ya later!

Kristy, she is so adorable!!! My son and daughter-in-law who live four doors up from me are expecting their second one in March. The first one was my grandson, Robert. This pregnancy has been so different from the first one, we are almost convinced it will be a girl. She goes for a sonogram in a few weeks and we will find out for sure. If it is a girl, I will be stone broke because little girls clothes are so much cuter than little boys. Can't wait!

I recognize the look of tyranny in her eyes - our cat has that same look because she knows she can push us around. At least you're having a boy, so you will have the set. I can remember back in the 1950s what a big deal that was to have a girl and a boy, and some couples would keep trying until they got the one they were missing: 5 boys and finally a girl so they could stop.

Yes we are lucky in that respect! I don't think we would have gone past two though since I'm so old.

K-dawg, for all your aches and pains, you sure have a positive attitude! Can't wait to meet your little boy.

I realized when I re read what a downer I seemed to be - but I'm not! It's all good.... any updates from you?

You need to write a book! Hopefully it will become mandatory reading for every junior high school kid!

there are certainly some downsides but truly, it is a beautiful thing. Feeling him kick inside my belly is something I will enjoy (for the most part, sometimes it is uncomfortable) just because it's such a strange miraculous short lived thing... But there are FOR SURE some Downsides young people should be made aware of. I was made to watch a live birth in health class when I was about 14. I went home and thanked my mother and swore I would never ever do that. It scarred me, seriously.

I hate to admit it but I'm still trying to loose my "baby fat".

It's not gonna be easy

Alas, your carefree days are over for eighteen years, but just think what
you get in return. A little boy who will love you and if he is like most
sons will never admit that you have a single fault. Skylar is precious
and looks so much like Ron. Just relax and enjoy!

I know, she is him!!!! I took her to the doc yesterday and the doc said she was looking more like me lately. I was ecstatic to hear that but didn't really believe it.
And it will be worth it I'm sure... I love days like today when all went well and she was a happy girl! Some days are good, some are bad, but they are all worth it.
