31 weeks and miserable would be a better title.
I don't know if it's the third trimester or my anemia or being pregnant and having two little ones to care for or a combination of all of that, but I have suddenly hit a point in pregnancy where I can barely do a thing. Like...literally. I bring a load of laundry upstairs and I'm wiped and have to lie down for 30 minutes before I can do anything else.
Today my mom told me to go shopping and buy myself some dresses and shorts and skirts to help get me through the rest of the pregnancy while she watched the kids and I could only make it to one store. One measly little store and I felt so exhausted and so weak that I just came home. Instead of shopping alone. Me. Chelsea. I did that.
My heartburn is so intense I'm wondering if this baby might actually have hair! My other two weren't bald, but neither had a lot. This time I have heartburn even standing up. Totally never happened to me before! Usually it's just a bedtime thing.
Yes, this post is a rant. Nothing but a rant. Like I always say, though, this baby will be worth it a hundred times over! But for now, I'll sit here with my feet propped up on the couch, the laptop barely in reach below my huge belly and whine about how lousy I feel and how ready I am for June 3rd(ish). And I'm only on the couch because today is actually a cool day and I'm not outside with my feet in the ice cold water of the baby pool, which is how I've been surviving every other day. This "spring" weather has been nothing like normal and this pregnant woman is not loving having the indoor temperature reach 80+.
Now I suppose I should go stare at pictures of my kids as newborns to help me get excited so I can stop being a grump. :)

I think that heartburn thing might be true. I had terrible heartburn the WHOLE TIME and Hannah came out with a full head. Of course Ben was - and still is - bald, so maybe trying to prove that wife's tale on a set of twins isn't the most scientific method....
ReplyDeleteHang in there. Turn up your A/C. Eat some ice cream.
Sorry you are feeling yuck friend but look on the bright side - you look super adorable!
ReplyDeleteYes this pregnancy thing is NOT easy! You ARE getting close even if it still seems far! Starting tomorrow you can say LESS than 2 more months!
ReplyDeleteTracy, yes, you are a bad demographic, ha! :)
ReplyDeleteChristine - Thanks friend. You're too kind to me!
Courtney - I know! I realized today it's exactly two months. My hunch is the next month will FLY by and the last will drag on for an eternity, because that's how it always goes. Hope you're feeling well!
WOW!! It really seems like just yesterday we were dreaming of our first arrivals and now your third is ao close to being here....you might feel miserable but you look great!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful Chelsea! I know you are miserable, but girl you rock pregnancy!!!
