It’s not all roses and rainbows damn it! I’m almost 37 weeks pregnant and I’m tired of the whole being pregnant thing. Yes, it’s beautiful.

Yes, it’s a miracle.

Yes, I should enjoy it while it lasts… blah, blah, blah. I’m done.

I’ve hit that point in my pregnancy where climbing a flight of stairs makes me feel like I’ve run a 24 hour marathon.

My legs are always aching. My spine feels like it’s composed of barbed wire. If my boobs get any bigger I’m afraid they’ll explode and I’m tired of waddling around like a duck.

Oh and did I mention how much I miss relaxing on the deck with a glass of red wine?

I’ve also hit that point in this pregnancy when people ask me how I’m doing, I tell them the truth.

No glossed over images.

No bright and cheery facades.

I let them know that I want this baby O-U-T!!!

I’m honest and tell them I have no energy and I’m tired all the time. The healthy glow they compliment me about isn’t a glow at all… it’s a layer of sweat from performing the completely challenging task of inhaling and exhaling.

I have four more days of work and then I start my maternity leave. Maybe I’ll feel more energetic and optimistic when I’m lounging around at home waiting for this baby to come as opposed to working full time.

Sorry to gripe and groan. I promise this is a rarity. I usually save my griping for my dear husband (bless him for his loving tolerance). So, have a glass of wine for me and wish me well as I finish off these last few weeks of pregnancy.

Cheers!
