Pregnancy

"They" never tell you that by the time you get to the fun part of pregnancy, when you start to feel your little soccer player moving around in there, most mommy's-to-be are ready to be done with it. Between the irritable daddy's, on-edge mommy's, the constant lack of sleep with no help from coffee, and more than occasional back pain it is hard to love the process of pregnancy. If it weren't for the light at the end of this tunnel there would be a lot more negativity in this almost completely one-sided side effect of the funnest mortal game there is. I find the only annoyance is not being able to be a strong woman during these fragile times. I pride myself in not having to play the weak card and am on a daily basis having to be forcibly humbled. I am more excited about the birth of my first child than I have ever been about anything else in my life but am ready to feel like my own strong woman again. Come on baby be nice to mommy.
