APRIL :)

I'm usually a very tough gal and have pretty high pain tolerance but this pregnancy I never thought I would say how weak I was and how I wanted to just be done!!
I'm still a pretty tough woman but still never thought I would say or find myself doing any of this!!

I have never : ....

~ eaten so much milk & cereal in my life

~ chewed so much ice

~ had to pee so often

~ gotten up so many times in the middle of the night

~ been SO emotional

~ been so lazy

~ felt so unprepared and unworthy and lonely

~ gotten this much little sleep

~ wanted to go back to work so bad!!!

~ thought I'd say I would rather go through another ruptured appendix than pregnancy

~ wanted my mom more

~ slept with so many pillows

~ done laundry so often; because I only have a few articles of clothing that actually fit

~ slept in so late in my life!

~ seen Mike more excited about kids and wanting to be a dad :)  He is so excited and so sweet and ready to be a dad :)

~ counted down the days for anything like I have for this baby :)

~ "watched" so much tv during the day

~ felt so worthless not doing anything all day

~ wanted human [adult] interaction more

~ knew how much stress, emotion, and physical disability I would have and wanted my old self back SO bad; to just do the normal every tasks more easily without being restricted by some factor or another.

~ felt so fat and self-conscious about myself

~ Just wanted to be a mom so bad!
