Just so you know, I never wanted it to come to this

but I can't help myself any more because I'm annoyed and huge and unable to sleep more than 2 hours a night without having to pee. That, and I still have a good 4 weeks until this baby is properly "due" which means it could be over 5 weeks until she actually comes out.

UGH.

I feel guilty about being so negative and ready to be finished with this pregnancy, especially when I have good friends who wish they were in this situation, but I can't help my feelings.

I woke up suddenly last night thinking my intestines were about to explode all over my cozy bed only to run to the bathroom and realize I was just having a contraction with some cramping.

Even though I'm within the normal limit of weight gain and still have some abdominal muscles that I flex on a regular basis, I feel like Violet from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" after she eats that gum and turns into a giant human blueberry.

The good news is that my hormones have pretty well regulated and I am feeling more normal than I have in months, allowing me to look back on all the arguments I tried to start with Nick and marvel at his ability to talk me down, remaining calm when I was spewing crazy talk like vomit in "The Excorcist".
