How are you feeling?

Is the question that I get on a daily basis. I know that there are people that are genuinely concerned about me and for that I am thankful. My response to that question is normally, "I'm doing ok" which up until now has been the truth. However, today someone asked me that, and what I really wanted to say is...

"I feel like shyt!! I want to be in my bed and remain there until it's time to go to the hospital! My stomach hurts, I'm super tired, I can't sleep, heartburn has been kicking my azz, the baby has found a home IN MY RIBS, my feet are swollen to the point where I can hardly walk, nausea has returned, every inch of my body hurts, and I still have a crap load of things to do, but don't have a bit of energy to do ANYTHING!!!"

My real response to that person was, "I'm ok" :-)

I never really complain during this pregnancy because I know that I am blessed in so many ways. First of all I'm pregnant! I know there are ladies that are not able to conceive, so I thank God for this wonderful blessing. Also, I really haven't had a bad pregnancy. Weeks 6-12 were pretty bad, and now at week 35 but everything in between has been pretty good. Therefore, I try to just suck up any discomfort, and just pray for a healthy baby no matter what the sex! I would like for this baby to remain inside cooking for as long as it needs to, and I will just deal with it.

However, I just needed to vent a little on how I was really feeling!
