Little Miss Sensitive
13 October 2008 10:37 a.m.
Despite having a great weekend and a mostly enjoyable pregnancy I'm having a bit of a low day.
I've not had many emotional outbursts but today I am hitting the borderline of one.
I am over emotional - getting teary at almost everything, I am stressed, I am frustrated that everything I seem to say or do is undone within hours with the male species in the house and quite frankly, I am close to giving up.
How many times can I say "please put your shoes on the shoe rack in the hall where they belong. Because, A) it's hard work for me to pick them up. B) They are a tripping hazard when a pregnant woman can't always see whats on the floor directly in front of her."
It's really PISSING ME OFF now.
Thats the biggest thing anyway and one that almost made me cry this morning.
I'm just so frustrated with it.
I have had a good little weekend but I have felt sick constantly for the whole of the last 3 days. That's not helping my moods nor is the uncomfortable sleep or this new cold and cough I have.
I've had the sickness feeling thing for the whole 9 months this time and I feel ready to feel normal again. Even the normal remedies did little to help when tried.
Making me more depressed over this is the fact that I sound so bloody ungrateful. I then get onto the feeling of guilt and feel really shit for being such a stroppy cow.
At least this little bubba is cheering me up with the little movements, hiccups and the wobbles.
I'm tempted to go back to bed for an hour yet will settle for a long warm shower in a while as I have things to do and I need to be at the school this afternoon for the reading club.
Tomorrow morning I get to get my haircut. Seems like a long time since I had a little pampering and I see it as my pre-birth makeover and pampering session as they give a great head massage with the hairwash and the special shampoo smells gorgeous.
Finally, keeping it on a bright note, I'd like to finish with the following.
Deep down I know I am going to miss being pregnant when it's all over. I know I will be pre-occupied but still, there is something magical about pregnancy where you become quite selfless in many ways. Even with these last minute niggles, pains and strops, I'd happliy go through it all again.
