I have a confession to make...

I despise being pregnant...

When I say this people look at me in disgust and they think " Well she will be a horrible mother". Truth is I am just being honest. I dont think I will ever be that woman that looks back on her pregnancy and talks about how she misses it. If I ever do say that I miss being pregnant then I am lying to everyone and I should be punished for saying so.

First of all I have tried for a very long time to get pregnant and I am so ready to meet the little boy that keeps kicking me every day! So why would I miss walking around with swollen feet that I cant really even see. When woman say that they miss being pregnant I am shocked and I have never wished to rewind my life. That is afterall what people are really meaning. After 9 long months you would think you have had enough of pregnancy!

I am a blimp actually I am beyond a blimp. I dont like saying that I am fat because I understand there is a growing baby inside me. Its very hard to not say that when your thighs are the size of what both of your legs together once were. I looked up the definition of Fat the other day just for fun. Yes I know what It means but the dictionary can be hilarious. The way words are described is fascinating to me.

Fat; (n.)

1. Obesity; corpulence.
3. The best or richest part: living off the fat of the land.
4. Unnecessary excess: "would drain the appropriation's fat without cutting into education's muscle" New York Times.
adj. fat·ter, fat·test
1. Having much or too much fat or flesh; plump or obese.
2. Full of fat or oil; greasy.

I dont like the words obese but the words plump can be used in a nice way. I used to hear that my butt was nice and plump now people just use HUGEEE. "Girl your butt got huge" is what my close friend said to me the other day. Not Huge but HUUUGEEE. I was told by my 7 year old neice that I cant come over and play on here waterslide because I am just to Fat. Kids can be cruel because they are so brutally honest.

Other than being plump I am faced with sleeping challenges, lets face it pregnant woman can hardly drink caffeine let alone take any kind of medicine that relieves sleeping problems. I would love to get a good 8 hours of sleep, but instead I wake up with the worlds worst Charlie horse. Its not even gone yet. I still feel the pain in my calves. Seriously it was that bad.

I do however enjoy feeling him move around and kick. At first it was little on the bizarre side, now its just an amazing feeling and I cherish every second of it. I love going for an ultrasound and seeing how much he has grown and its astonishing to see your little one transform into you and your husband.

So does saying I dont enjoy being pregnant make me a bad mom? I dont think so, I know I will be an amazing mommy. Pregnancy is a long-drawn-out process and you would have to be crazy to not complain at least sometimes. I am a complainer and I have expected that but this girl has to have some kind of fun right?

Pregnancy Joke of the Day:

The more pregnant I get,
the more often strangers smile at me. Why?
Cause you’re fatter than they are
