Can I just say that I hate women that love being pregnant? It's driving me batty. I hate feeling like I'm carrying around a basketball under my tummy. That I can't bend over. That I can't sleep. That I have indigestion. That the baby seems to think she is engaged in kickboxing match with the inside of mommy. That I look like a beached whale and feel totally un-sexy. Ugggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

Okay, I feel a little better.

Hard to believe the baby will be here in about 3 months (I think the baby is going to come in October, the due date is Nov 1). I really can't believe I'm having another child. I so wish I had a nanny. NG is getting a new job and he will be leaving the house around 430am and arriving home around 8pm so help with the baby - not so much. : ( Actually the baby thing is not going to be so bad, it's the toddler thing that's going to drive me bonkers. When you have to watch them like a hawk and they need you every 5 seconds. I mean I just finally got to the point where I have time to myself once in a while and now look what I did. I guess I'm a masochist. LOL Maybe all of this negativity will make the reality better (you know expecting all this bad stuff and then it turns out okay - just nod and say yes).

I can't remember if I mentioned that NG got laid off, but he has been staying home with the girls for summer since paying for summer camp plus his unemployment would be almost the same as him working. He has really made a big change for the better in the girls, though it's hard for me to admit. They get along better, eat better, get more exercise and treat me better. Of course that could also be due to the fact that they don't have any influence from their Dad, who knows.

I don't see how women enjoy being pregnant either. The very thought of all that discomfort and what not makes me shiver. That is very good to hear that NG and the girls have been able to be a positive influence on each other and that even the girls are getting along better. And I agree, maybe all the thoughts on the toddler years will prove you wrong. :)

Poor thing. I've always though it would suck to be pregnant in the summer heat. You have my sympathies, even though I have no idea what it's like to be pregnant. Yay for having a positive male influence on the girls!

Sounds like your life is going well now Cassie, I'm glad.
My guess is some women love being pregant and some don't. Just depends on the person. I can't imagine it being much fun, but the reward at the end of it is pretty damn cool...
Wow, 4:30am to 8pm? That sucks, hope the pay and benifits are worth it!
