Pregnancy

I'm currently 37 weeks 4 Days pregnant...I'm not really sure how many more days I can handle it before I lose it! Ha...It really kind of stinks that Owen came so early because I just expected that this one would too.  I had progressed at my appointment on Friday, but this baby is sticking it out inside. My face is getting chubby. My ribs hurt. I don't sleep. I've got dimples in my butt from lack of exercise (haha..so sad) and if I find one more stretch mark I will scream.  I sound so vain, and I'm grateful I am able to carry my own child, but seriously....seriously! The things mothers go thru for their children. I'm going to start exercising again now that I've met the "full-term" mark. Perhaps I can induce labor myself (fingers crossed). I have so many conflicting emotions. I'm so done being pregnant, however I'm super nervous to have two little critters to care for 24-7. I'm excited for Owen to have a little brother, but worried about him not getting the attention he's use to or needs.  SOO excited to snuggle a newborn, but have forgotten exactly what it takes to care for one. Can't wait to get this baby out, but beyond nervous for labor and delivery this time around (It happened so fast with Owen I didn't really get to think about it). My doctor is going out of town on Wednesday for 3 weeks...So unless this baby comes before tomorrow, I'll have a new doctor that I've never seen. Not a huge deal considering I saw 5 different doctors with my first pregnancy. Nervous about nursing again...Oh it was painful to start...someone please tell me it's not so bad after the first time! Ok, I've had my pity party...I'm going downstairs to exercise while my 2 year old watches Despicable Me...because he refuses to nap...

Remember that one post where you were like, "I cleaned the house, watched the kid, made dinner, exercised, served some neighbors, and saved the world! What an effecient day!" I have no doubt that you'll be able to handle 2 kids just fine.
