I'm done!

with this whole pregnancy thing, that is! I knew it was coming, though.....the point where I was going to get uncomfortable. But, good grief, this stinks! Here are my complaints:
1)My back hurts ALL THE TIME! Especially after my 12 1/2 hour shifts. 2)My feet hurt with this extra 29 (not 30, YET!) pounds on them.
3)Sleeping is becoming impossible. Notice that I'm writing this at 2:50AM. I just toss and turn (slowly..b/c even that isn't easy at this point).
4)The swelling has begun. Again, especially after my 12 1/2 hour shift. I worked all weekend and right now my hands are like baseball mits. Not comfy!
5)My belly button is so tight that I think it might burst!
6)I have to rock myself to gain the momentum to get my big butt off of our bed. Seriously.
Ok, I'll stop. I've still got just under 12 weeks to go so I should just suck it up. Just needed to vent : ) I do have a great husband, though. He's been putting up with me well. He'll rub my back and tell me I look hot (although HAHA, there are mirrors in our house!)

I'll end this with a funny story, though. Last night, Rory and I were laying in bed and Brody started to move around a lot. I lifted up my shirt and I think we watched my belly for like 15 minutes. It was CONSTANT WAVES! He was all over the place! I think this was the first time that I was like, ok this little being inside me is ALIVE! And every few seconds there would be this extra hard bump stick way out on the left side of my belly, which I'm guessing was his little butt. And if Rory pressed on my belly, Brody would fight back like, hey back off! I'm already crowded in here! It was HILARIOUS!

I'll try to post some pics later today. We had another ultrasound a couple weeks ago and geesh, that's a whole other story!



Baby Brody Hoke is 28 + 4 days and counting......
