It's been raining a lot here lately. Pouring, actually. Fine by me because rain has always made me happy. But it also makes me extremely sleepy, and seeing as I've barely been sleeping these days, all I want to do is crawl under the covers and wake up next week. It won't happen though. At this point, my whole body hurts. I feel like it's shouting at me, "what the f*ck have you done?" I'm doing the best I can and I know I will make it and it will "all be worth it" and blah blah blah, but as of right now, I'm feeling quite done thankyouverymuch. I'm sure you are about as sick of hearing me complain about this pregnancy as I am about actually feeling this way, so I'm sorry for that. I just need to get it all out of my head, and for some reason this feels like the right place to do so. And I know that babies keep you up too, but I'm very much looking forward to getting two-three consecutive hours of sleep instead of one because my hip pain has me on the verge of tears every night. I'm tired, that is all, and very much starting to feel like a fussy baby myself.

I can't imagine what that's like, but you're getting close to meeting him/her!

ReplyDeleteMy mom is a firm believer that difficult pregnancies = awesome perfect babies as surely no baby could put you through hell on both ends. I'm rooting for that outcome for you.
ReplyDeletei am a firm believer that you'd have an awesome perfect baby already, and given kate's theory on top of that, i think you're probably going to have a superhero. start making little tiny capes, my dear celia. (and hang in there. you're a superhero, too.)
ReplyDeletesorry you're feeling so lousy. I don't know if you got the email I sent you but I hope you check out one of those ladies. I really think they could help you start feeling better!
ReplyDeleteah! I love Kate's theory!
ReplyDeletetake care and I hope that you will have a good night sleep.
from another fussy baby ;)
You can do it Celia!
ReplyDeletethe east bay rain was particularly nap inducing today. hope you were able to curl up and relax. personally i'm not sick of reading your pregnancy updates. you're a badass.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the sleep thing - everyone went on about how badly sleep deprived I was going to be, but I slept SO much better after baby was born, even if it was only for a couple of hours at a time. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteSleeping again was one of the very best bits of having had the babies. For the four weeks before they were born I didn't sleep for longer than 20 minutes at a time because I was so uncomfortable and it sucked ass. Babies (generally) sleep for at least a little longer than that in one go and it was heaven.
ReplyDeleteYou're so nearly there! And Lauren's right, A SUPERHERO.
oh the hip pain is the WORST!
ReplyDeletebetween the hip pain and having to pee every 2 seconds, i sleep way better now that the babe is outside of my belly. hang in there!
