My poor husband...here's part of an email I wrote to him right after we had a minnie tift on the phone:
(On explaining why I was frustrated on the phone):
"I haven't slept well all week. I'm tired my wrist hurts, my ribs hurt and my hips hurt and I still have more than 2 months to put up w/ before I push this baby out without medication and then offer up my breasts to be sucked on at will for the next year!!! Wanna make something of it??? Didn't think so. And yes-I'm hormonal! See above if you have any questions."
Can I get some sympathy pregnant mamas? Even if you've been pregnant before, you totally forget all of this stuff once your bundle of joy comes out so really, only the pregnant ones are gonna get what I'm going through. All in good fun though, right?
Speaking of bundles of joy, I have to go take care of my first one who apparently believes napping is code for banging on the door and asking to be let out.

I'm not pregnant but you do get my sympathy. Pregnancy sucks-yes we get a little baby at the end but the process still sucks! Things like not being able to breathe for 9 months, being constipated for 9 months, and all the other little goodies that go with it really SUCK! I love my baby more than anything and would do it all over again for her but the process still sucks! Men will never get it or understand. They need to start appreciating those of us who do it for them. I'm still waiting for that one to happen....
awwwwww! id liek to say "it will be over before you know it", but that sounds insensitive. its okay to act like a total you know what and to complain to everyone you can think of (not that that's what youre doing, but), because this stage of pregnancy SUCKS. esp because you feel awful but you know you still have awhile to go. there WILL be an end to this though, and probably sooner than you are imagining since anne was early. its all a flash in the pan. i remember telling myself to remember that it was just pregnancy, and to think about people with chronic illnesses that cant ever anticipate feeling better.
i remember plenty of mean emails i wrote to rick :). and yelling at mia, and then crying because i felt bad. as if feeling physically horrible isnt enough, your emotional self is brutally attacked at the same time, and its just such a mean joke.
love you,
kate
