Today everything hurts!

As sad as this will sound, I am starting to resent ALL of you women who have had your babies and now have cute adorable pictures to show the world. You want to know what I have to show the world??? A big belly, and a sore body. I overslept this morning, and woke up feeling like the right side of my body had been used as a punching bag. I know its pain that has started in my right shoulder, and is making everything else sore. The doctor says its from being pregnant and right handed and working with the mouse all day on the computer, so its pain I will have to deal with. But it really is screaming for mercy. Not to mention the fact that I am tired. More tired now then I have been in awhile.

I talked with my grandmother who offered to keep Lucas 2 days a week, if my Mom can change her day off and keep him one day, he wont have to go into childcare. Which makes me happy, not just financially, but it gives me peace of mind. In this day and age, you never know who you can trust with your kids. I am hoping this goes through and Mom can change her day off.

I still have so much to do and I almost feel like I have so little time to accomplish it. I have a whole nursery to put together.

I have to vent a little, I am getting SO tired of people telling me how to be pregnant. Okay, not just pregnant, but insinuating that things are the same way now as they were 30 years ago. Well, they arent. I am going to follow the instructions that my doctor sets forth for me, and I am going to make decisions that are right for me and what makes me feel comfortable. I am Lucas' mother. This is my body, and I am going to judge and do what I need to do to be safe while having this little boy. I dont care what they did 30 years ago. Unless you are giving me advice on making sure I wear breast pads after my milk comes, or you have some sound advice, keep it to yourself! I dont mind my friends here at work who had their children at the latest 5 years ago. You know more about what you are talking about. I want your advice. But if you had your child in 1972, I dont want to hear about it. They are nothing but horror stories that I dont need to hear. I will be fine through this labor, and I will take each contraction as they come. And thats that.

Whew! I feel much better. Hopefully this weekend, I will get pictures posted of my animals and this developing belly!
