28 weeks.

I don't want to be pregnant anymore. I want to have this baby. I want my normal body back. So I can bend over without squatting. So I can stretch, get full body massages and sleep on my stomach. So I can work a 6 hour shift without asking for help or favors every time I turn around.

Is it too much to ask?

Okay, maybe it is. Considering the baby inside me is not ready to be born. It seems kind of selfish. But after an 8 day stretch at work my feet, shins, ribs and back are throbbing. I just want this pain to ease.

Are you sitting there thinking: what a wimp? Well, that's okay if you are. Because I'm sitting here thinking I SUCK at being pregnant. How did my mom do this 6 times?? I guess she really really wanted another baby...and another...and another.

I know the outcome is going to be worth it. And my patience are just worn thin from tiredness. But sitting here with a huge belly and swollen feet leaves much to be desired. I just can't wait. I have a lot of changes ahead of me and I am looking too forward to them to wait much longer.

Yes you guessed it...another moment of weakness...if you couldn't tell. I've become a major complainer I realize. I'll be better. I promise.

But, in the mean time (as I work on not complaining) I've got some fun things going. I bought an embroidery ring. Don't worry babe, it was only $2.33 at hobby lobby. I have almost completed my very first attempt at embroidery: Baby E's initials on a receiving blanket. I'm actually surprised at how easily I grabbed up one of the adorable patterned blankies I received at my baby shower and just went for it! And how I nice of a job I did. If I do say so myself.

I've also started looming a chocolate brown pouch-like sack that I intend on using for Baby E's first photos. I'm going tie bright pink ribbon around it and have her little head peaking out of the top. I can't wait. The way I imagine it is super cute but photos of finished product are yet to come.

Well, I have another appointment with my midwife on Monday. This I am looking forward too. These visits always give me peace of mind. I feel much better after talking with her. Due to the fact my appointment has been pushed back a week so the questions are piling up. I'm sure this visit will help my endeavour to stop complaining too!

My husband is cooking up something delicious smelling in the kitchen. I'm off to find out what it is.

Keep loving.
