It's been hard lately to want to post. I'm tired a lot with this pregnancy (yes, that's week 35, for those who're counting) and not sure I care about anything much except some more sleep. Oh - and icecream. I've never met a pregnant woman who didn't think dairy and eggs were the bees knees unless they were actively vegan or allergic or something.
So theoretically I should be saying something meaningful here. I will say it: I WANT MY BODY BACK, PLEASE. Pregnancy number two is no big deal mostly. I already freaked out over the weird figure last time. I don't barf and apart from peeing for two the rest of my plumbing seems functional. I comprehend that I am pregnant, not fat. When this is over, stretchmarks aside, I am personally capable of having damn close to the body I had before. I have no self esteem issues. Are we clear on this? No neurosis here, thanks. Er. Ok, just not about being pregnant. Other issues, I do have. But not for this post.
That said -- I repeat. Body back, please. Now. I can just barely imagine having the stamina to find this process no big deal, but I was not in *great* shape when I got pregnant and I am really wearing down. While it is true that they also serve who only sit and wait, I am not a waiting kind of gal. I'd like to get on with the healing and the getting to know this little person and stop with the constant peeing. I'd like that a lot.
So if there's nothing here for another month, I'm tired. Just thought I'd mention it. I'm tired. That is all.
