Hi. I miss you. Yesterday was the worst day ever. I officially hate being pregnant.
Here’s to hoping today will be better. And that I’ll put up a real post.

I’ve heard that about being pregnant. I hope today and all the rest of the days will be better. We can all wait patiently for a “real” post, though this post seems pretty “real” to me. It’s you. Right now, exactly how you are, and that’s cool, dude.

I’ve been trying to think of something helpful to say here but am in my own cloud of pessimistic lame ass blah. I’ll just go with, “I miss you soon.” and send you lots of love and baby-be-nice vibes.

Not a lame excuse. Not even an excuse so much as a *reason*. We just hope you’re feeling better soon!

yup! i too was not too thrilled being pregnant.
i never quite understood to LOVE of it.
i felt sick & tired. i was sensitive to everything…i could smell someone’s feet down the block and all there other stinky parts…(yuck)
i felt fat and hot and i understand. the good thing is it’s only 9-ish months and then it’s finished. well, at least that part is.
and then a bouncy baby.
through it all you will be fine…
it’s not easy, none of it is but you will find the joy!
i am a mommy to 2 boys 19 months apart…yikes!
peace,

I felt your pain during my pregnancy with Sylvia, not very enjoyable and I was also highly emotional (I remember my midwives writing down in their notes “emotionally liable” and me catching a glimpse of it and bursting into tears). Take care and good luck. My life is crazy now and I am so tired and overwhelmed (all of the time), but the amount of love in my life is amazing, it makes up for it somehow. Ahhh…good luck again…

Hope you’re feeling better soon. We are all pulling for you!

I hope you’re feeling better soon.

Hugs, hugs, and more hugs. Wish I could make it better for you, even for just a few minutes. Sending love and upping the prayers, okay?

I bet you are having a girl. I was SOOOO sick with mine. Poor thing – feel better.
August 1st, 2008 @ 10:08 am
Sending good thoughts. Truly.
August 1st, 2008 @ 12:52 pm
I think it’ll be a girl too. Just a hunch.

I know it sucks being pregnant at times, but try to remember what an absolute Goddess you are– and how being pregnant only makes you even more Goddess like. Could you possibly be more connected to life than now? You are creating life. In your body!
Miracle woman. You’re a Goddess. You are so powerful.
Remember it even when you’ve got your head in the toilet.
Love to you and kisses to your belly.

remember…at least you can get pregnant. perhaps thinking of those who struggle with conceiving will help to shift perspective.

You guys are all so lovely and awesome and completely made me feel better. And oh, dear anonymous, I so know that is true. And my heart aches for you and for my friends (I have several) who are in the same boat. I cannot begin to imagine the frustration and sadness and ache of not being able to concieve when you want to… That said, I still need to be able to vent when I spend the day feeling like a miserable shell of myself–if only so I can be reminded by everyone–by you–to have a bigger perspective.
