Here it goes again...

Well, here we are again, this time though it's less than 2 weeks later. (Only 1 week and 5 days later). I'm SO OVER being pregnant by now. It was so exciting at first, I'm not going to lie, but now I'm just exhausted and knowing that my little guy is full term and practically 7 some pounds, I'd like it if he were here by now. Everyday I hope that I'll go into labor but it hasn't happened yet. They say you tend to follow your mother's schedule when it comes to having kids. Unfortunately, my mom had me RIGHT on time and my brother 2 weeks late! Hopefully 2 weeks late will not be the case for our first.
Things I dislike about my pregnancy: I'm tired. My feet are swollen. I get headaches. I have heartburn at night and don't sleep. I had some morning sickness. The baby's legs hurt my ribs. My back hurts when I sit for long periods of time (at work). I've gained weight where I don't want it. My hands have swelled and I haven't been able to wear my wedding rings since a few weeks ago. It's hard to bend over and shave my legs or paint my toenails...however I'm still successful! I've gotten a few small stretchmarks which aren't easily seen but I still hope they fade. I hate not eating super greasy things that I love, aka crabil's hamburgers, or eating undercooked foods that I love such as a medium cooked steak or over-easy eggs. I do not like how much I overreact to thing emotionally, I blame the hormones. I have to pee ALL the time.
MOVING ON. THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY PREGNANCY:
I love the fact that my body is able to grow a human being. It's awesome that it took both my husband and I separate roles in having this baby. I love the fact that I'm having a boy. I love it when he moves or has the hiccups. It reassures me that he's healthy and growing. I love going to my doctor's appointments, it gives me something to look forward to. It's nice that they come closer together the closer I get to my due date so it makes getting through the weeks a lot better. I love hearing his heartbeat. I love seeing him through the ultrasound. I love that he responds to the things that I eat, the music that I listen to, and when I touch my belly. I love that my bellybutton didn't pop out but became very flat (easy to clean!) I love getting all the baby things for when he gets here. I love cute little man clothes and shoes. I love the things that a lot of people have given to us... strollers, car seats, and swings. I love that my husband gets all happy when he touches my belly and the baby kicks back. I love how my husband talks to him and sings to him.
To be honest, I'm just really uncomfortable sitting here and I want to get up and do something, so I"m going to do just that
