This post is just a bunch of whining, so
consider yourself warned :)

I think I
was very spoiled with my first pregnancy. I was late, but quite
comfortable (relatively speaking anyway). Going from no labor
progress to baby overnight is definitely the preferable way to
go. This time around I’m dilating sooner (which is good
progress, I suppose) but all of me hurts! I now understand all
of the “typical” late stage pregnancy gripes. Well, most
anyway. There are certainly a few issues I can think of that I
don’t have (thankfully!!) that would make things even more
uncomfortable. But I’m achy all over and my belly feels like
there is a bowling ball inside and totally bruised on the
outside. It isn’t really bruised, but it feels that way.
Walking is uncomfortable. Any sort of fast walking (chasing Lex
down the street) is damn near impossible. It takes a real
effort to roll over in bed at night and I have to get up every
hour to pee. Blah! Fortunately my mom is here to take care of
me :)

I think today would be a lovely
day to have a baby, but worst case, Monday is a full moon and a
low pressure system coming through, so hopefully that will do
it. It’s also eight days past my due date. We’ll see
:)
