Oh, god. YES to all of this. I'd forgotten so much of this, but it all came roaring back to me reading your entry. Pregnancy - I think I underestimated the aches and pains associated with it. The loosening of the ligaments causing hip and joint pain, the annoying pains in the lady parts, the heaviness and uncomfortableness. And then crown that with being *unable* to sleep either because the baby is moving, you are hurting or can't find a comfortable position, the heartburn/food in the throat feeling.
I FEEL YOU.
Hang in there! You are doing great! You are SO CLOSE! And then there will be a baby! YAY!
I gave up at 36 weeks. I asked the doctor to write me out of work because I literally felt like I couldn't walk another step. I was so tired that I was crying at the thought of having to walk from my car to my desk. And I had a 'reserved' spot at the front of the building (because I was HUGE!) and used the elevator. It still took me 30 minutes to walk to my desk! A slow, slow waddle. The boys were born at 37 weeks on the nose. I'd equate 38 weeks to my 36 weeks (with twins). If you have to go out, go OUT! Lay on the couch and do nothing. It is WORTH it. Rest as much as you can. Baby will be here soon!
