38 weeks

glamour shots don't exist for me any more.

they say once you have the baby you will be thinking 'get that thing back in there!' with all the crying, feeding, waking up at night, etc. but EVERYONE forgets that when you're pregnant YOU are getting up every hour in the night to pee or eat, YOU are crying incessantly over everything, and YOU are downright colicky.

at least when you have the baby there is the option of temporarily passing the baggage to your husband, sister, mother, neighbor. right now - it's all me. no relief.

so, whenever you see a very pregnant woman, DO NOT tell her that she will wish she was pregnant again once she has to deal with the baby after it's born. if it's true (that she WILL wish the baby would go back inside her) then let her realize it on her own.

c'mon people, no one wants to hear that they should be enjoying the pain and discomfort of full-term pregnancy. and especially that they'll WANT it again at any point in the future.

anyway, isn't it the thought of the beautiful newborn baby that throws people back into the insane, emotional, brainless whirlwind of pregnancy over and over again?

Ok Miriam, don't believe 'em -- it's not always true! I look at my little newborn and give thanks at least five times a day that I'm not still pregnant! Maybe it's been because she came early and I really could've still been pregnant, or that she is an 'easy' baby so far. Or, maybe it's because I can BREATHE! (and bend and twist and lay on my stomach for a back rub, instead of my side) :) Sometimes, the grass really is a little greener on the other side.
You are almost there sweetie, hang in there.

Well when you have the baby, at least you have a tangible reward for the sleeplessness and pain! It will be a sweet reward. You'll be tired but yes, being 9 months pregnant IS worse than having a sweet beautiful newborn to wake up and feed every few hours. You have the right Miriam... moan and complain all you want girl, you EARNED it!! Love you:)
