i'm so done.

so here i am at 36 and a half weeks in my pregnancy and let me tell you that i can not wait to never do this again. i am so uncomfortable, and i feel like a house. frankly, i would not be surprised to give birth to triplets at this point...
just to illustrate how huge i am, here's me at the very beginning. oh if only i could look like this again...
and here is me now. yes i am huge.

and let me tell you something else. if it ever crosses your mind to tell a pregnant person how big they have gotten, don't. for the love of all that is good in the world, please refrain from making comments such as "you are getting so big!", or "you look like you are going to pop!". guess what...i am fully aware of just how big i'm getting and how close i am to "popping". i don't need a reminder. yes, i know that the growing baby inside of me is what is making me feel like i swallowed two watermelons, but the fact that i have to sit a foot away from the dining table to eat is not exactly a confidence booster.
in case you haven't noticed, i'm not one of those "i love every moment of pregnancy" people. i don't sit around and think about how "magical" pregnancy is. sorry. i know a lot of people out there love being pregnant. kudos to you. i'll let those people do all the baby having. as for me...i'm done!
sorry for the negativity, blame it on the hormones if you like.

  1. As someone who would desparately love to be pregnant but is having infertility issues, please be grateful for the blessing you have been given. I would give anything to trade you places.

  2. I'm not ungrateful by any means, just ready to meet her and not be pregnant anymore.

  3. I'm with you Brin. I love, love, love the baby part. I hate the pregnant part. And as someone who was desperate to have a baby I will still admit that did not enjoy carrying the baby IN me. But the 9 months is all worth it the second you get to hold that baby (on the outside) hehe. Get in a few extra naps if you can - two babies is a lot more work than one :)
