I have attempted to write again at least 4 times, but the struggle is that it's taking every ounce of my soul to restrict myself from complaining about all things pregnancy. I WANTED THIS. Yes, I did, I really did.... There is no doubt in my mind that God gives us "pregnancy brain" so we forget how hard these 9+ months can be on us.
Speaking of pregnancy brain, what else was I going to talk about? Oh...
One more week until I officially enter the third trimester and I'm having the worst mental struggle to date. This pregnancy began with OHSS and I have looked 6+ months pregnant for 6+ months now. I would consider everything to be "normal" at this point, but my back has taken a serious beating having carried weight out front for so long. Sleep is a rarity these days. Maybe a full body cast would help? I could flex and see my top two abdominal muscles up until a month ago, now they are stretching and the excruciating pain of that is setting in. Oh, and can someone fill me in on the secret to achieving that "pregnancy glow" or maybe some tips on how to not get fat everywhere? Some women were just made to carry babies in such a beautiful, poised way......me, on the other hand...I was given a strong will, determination, and a little bit of stubbornness to get me through this process. It's 9+ months of "I Will Survive," some Salt-N-Pepa "Push It" followed up with a celebratory "We Are The Champions."
We're still shooting for February 25th as baby boy's estimated time of arrival. I want to also give our address to those of you (family & friends) who have no idea where we've moved to. We'll be at 1433 W Main St Apt 2E Carmel, IN 46032 for the next 3-4 months or until our home is finished.
