Not sure how many times I have said this phrase the last couple of days, but "I AM DONE!". Ok so not really but I feel done. Last week I started to feel a chest cold coming on. I do not get these very often and I figured it would quickly go away...oh so wrong! So as this chest cold got progressively worse, I also developed an ear infection. Saturday night or should I say Sunday morning, before dawn I awoke and found that my left ear was feeling less than lovely and combine that with a persistent and irritating cough I was up all night long. Now when you are 32 weeks pregnant and your baby is putting crazy pressure on your bladder, you are bound to "leak" a little pee every now and then...especially when you are having baby #3. Now add a persistent and irritating cough into the picture and you do more than just "leak". I have coughed so much that last couple of days that my head is constantly pounding, my abdominal muscles, which have relaxed due to pregnancy, are so sore that I can hardly move, and I am constantly doing the "cross my legs so I won't pee my self when I cough" move. Yes, indeed I am done!
I hate to complain..as I have had much worse pregnancy issues, but this stinks!
I was also thinking that I really do not like being pregnant. Now before any one gets bent out of shape due to my statement let me explain. I love to feel the baby move with in me. I love the miracle of creating a life. I would not give up being pregnant for any thing, but I do not enjoy the actual act of being pregnant and all the issues that come with it. 5 years ago I would never of said or believed this. Kal and I tried for 4 years to have a baby. 4 years of struggle and heart ache. The day we found out we were expecting was such a blessing to us, I will never forget the feelings I had at that time. I was super sick with Jackson...but I enjoyed every minute of it (ok, so not really enjoyed it) but because I had waited so long I wanted to treasure that time as I was not sure if I would ever get pregnant again. So then along comes baby #2 and If I thought I was sick with Jackson, then I had no idea what sick was. It was a very rough 9 months for every one, but so worth it as now I have my little Walker. So now onto baby #3...I have hardly been sick at all..only thrown up a handful of times and have basically felt good. I still do not like being pregnant. I have 8 weeks to go and I hope the go fast.... I am so excited for this new little one to join our family, as are my boys and husband. But I am done:0)

OH Amanda! I am sorry you are so uncomfortable and sick! I am imagining me bringing you some hot soup right now. I hope you get better really soon and that these next few weeks goes really quickly for you. Love Ya!!
Amen! I think I had the same blog, I just wasn't as articulate. Hang in there, you're almost done!
Hey Amanda! It is great to hear from you! So you are in BC now. How do you like that? How did you find me? I always think it is interesting how we know other people and are linked together in our LDS world so many different ways! Sounds like you are "having fun"! YUCK! I am sorry! Hang in there! We should catch up when I get back from vacation.
Hang in there sister! I laughed when you mentioned people getting bent about you not liking being pregnant. I mean seriously - its amazing, but who really wants to be pregnant. Now they can get bent at me! I feel for you - we've laughed about "leaking" in the past. It will all be something laughable when its over!
Shame on you for not liking leaking...and pregnancy. I can't see why that doesn't sound so appealing to the world over. Hmmmm. You will always be a mystery to me. :)
Hang in there girl. Soon enough that little girl *hope of hopes* will make her grand entry and the goods are once again forgotten.
oh I so hear you. And hope that the weeks pass quickly. (and I sooooo had the leaking problem too with my cough. TROUBLE!)
