Stop this Pregnancy, I'm Getting Off

I'm miserable. I can't put it any other way. Yes, I know I have no reason to complain as I have had the EASIEST pregnancy on the planet as everyone is quick to remind me. But I want a cocktail. I want to meet the girls after work for happy hour and say goodbye to the workday with a shot of booze. Red Wine Katee is officially sick of red wine. I want to sleep on my stomach. I want to sleep through the night without getting up to pee three times and discovering each time that I am so cotton-mouthed I could drink a gallon of water but not wanting to because it will only make me have to pee again. I want to work out. I want to wear my cute JCrew chinos low on my hips with my ballet flats and welcome the warmer weather. I want to go floating down the Comal River. I want to be able to wipe my butt without carefully having to twist around my ever expanding belly and my tightening stomach muscles. Go, go Gadget arms. But most of all I want to meet my daughter.

I'm still pregnant and so over it. I go to the doctor on Thursday when she will check to see if I'm progressing. I've already promised Melita a pony if she decides to arrive a little early.

Stay tuned...

PS We discovered on Saturday morning that Bungy has tennis elbow for canines. Who knew?

Nothing I can say will make it better. It just sucks at the end, but that's how you know you're ready and that Melita is healthy enough to come out. If you're truly miserable, ask your doctor to induce you.

I had back labor every night for three weeks before V was born...so I didn't sleep for three weeks. I asked the doctor for an elective induction. At first I felt guilty, but in the end, I'm glad I did.

I truly sympathize....hang in there, it is all worth it in the end.
