pregnancy sucks, esp. the second time around
I'm tired of being pregnant. I compared some pictures last night and my belly is definitely bigger than it was at this point in my last pregnancy (I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow and my belly looks like it did when I was 36 weeks last time), which is to be expected for a second pregnancy. The comparison doesn't seem so bad until I think about how much longer I still have and how much bigger I'm going to get. Seven weeks is a long time when my belly keeps growing and growing. My back hurts throughout the day, especially in the morning when I get up out of my non-firm mattress. I do yoga in the morning to stretch my back but then I don't do it again until the following morning due to lack of time and motivation. The joint or cartilage or whatever is between the top of my thigh and my pelvis hurts terribly after I've been sitting or laying for a while, or after I've been walking for more than ten minutes (or running for that matter). I can't win -- sit, lay, walk -- it pretty much all exacerbates this pain.
My energy level is depleted, my mood sucks and I'm tired all the time, and the worst part is I still have seven more weeks of this! The good news is we'll have a tiny little baby in our family when it's all over, and I won't have to do this again.
