the final stretch

As I fully enter my third trimester, it's hard for me to think that I won't always be this way in just two more months. I miss and often ponder what it'll be like when I'm able to...

- get out of bed in under 5 minutes
- sleep without a pillow factory
- lay on my back
- lay on my stomach
- lay down and feel comfortable
- get in the 4Runner easily
- get out of the 4Runner easily
- not be nauseous if I don't eat every few hours
...or be nauseous just because I'm nauseous
- sit down after going to the bathroom and not having to go to the bathroom again
- not have to go through a box of tissues a week because of my swollen membranes
- not yell at Dave just because I feel angry
- not feel angry then happy then sad then angry then maybe sad then...
- have normal back pain
- be outside for more than 2 minutes
- go swimming even if the water is warm
- hear things about me besides of how big I am
- can eat broccli again
- like chocolate again
- do cardio for more than five minutes without getting super winded
- wear make up again
- feel attractive
- am excited that I have a baby

I think I'm excited and wish I was overwhelmed with happy thoughts about having a baby, but it is truly taking a toll on me. Then I feel like a total cry baby because I know of women who have horrible horrible pregnancies or have an unhealthy baby, or have to be bedrested for months on end. I've had an okay pregnancy. I think I like being pregnant but also I'm just exhausted in every way.

Making a baby is exhausting, but guess what, only 10 more weeks to go!
