Getting it off my chest...

Some women LIKE being pregnant. They glow. They rave about how wonderful they feel. They still manage to look cute and people are drawn to the peace they radiate.

I HATE those women.

I am not pretty pregnant. I break out, get emotional, and in general become my own evil twin. I spill food all over my fat belly. I become sexless. I am gross, pimply, and I have feet like a hobbit (minus the hair--thank God!) In short, I will always resent those who exclaim that pregnancy was a magical time for them. There is no magic for me...just misery.

And misery loves company. In my sickest, darkest hours, I somehow manage to make all those around me miserable. Poor Josh...he's had to start doing all the household chores (GASP!) and take care of the kids, and put up with my mommy-dearest megalomania. I would sort of feel sorry for him if I wasn't so busy hanging my head over the toilet. Dreaming of ways to punish him for getting me in this condition...

So there you have it. I love the baby at the end on the nine months, but for now--I'm sad to report that I am in absolute HELL. Even chocolate doesn't make it better. Sigh.

I totally hear you on the pregnancy sucks! You know I didn't enjoy puke/nausea factor. Blah

The first 12 weeks suck for most everyone. But I seem to remember that in your previous two pregnancies at the magical 13th week seeing a beautifully happy pregnant you! Hang in there and hopefully you will make it to the lovely 13 week of smiley happy emotions.

Ew - I just re-read my comment. Too much happy. And this part of your pregnancy isn't about all the happy. So I will end with this part of being prego sucks. :(

Being pregnant is a good deterant for being pregnant. i have relatively easy pregnancies, but I still hate being pregnant.

you are right. how can people think it is great? AND BIRTH? why would anyone like that? I figure people that are in love with it aren't pregnant and don't have much going on in their lives.

At least it doesn't last forever.
