Last night as I tried to fall asleep, I suddenly remembered what this whole pregnancy was leading up to.
For example: (don't read if you have a weak stomach)
I will go into labor, and it will be very painful.
Since I am strep b positive, they will stick me with an IV.
I will push a baby out of me and I will tear.
If not that, the doctor will cut my stomach open.
Either way, I will be stitched up, somewhere on my body.
After that whole mess, I will be given special undees, along with maxi pads, and numbing spray.. oh and the nurse will give me about ten instructions for every time I use the restroom.
I will bleed for about two weeks after the delivery.
I will breast feed and probably get engorged.
My hormones will be out of wack, and I will be an emotional wreck.
Once again, I won't be getting any sleep for a about a year... if not longer.
So with all that said, why am I doing this again?
Oh ya, that's why.

After four years of no baby I had all the same thoughts. Why in the world do we put ourselves through all of that? And, I would add, just being pregnant sucks. It's like two years of not sleeping, before and after they are born, before you start to feel normal again...then we do it all over. Babies are just too dang cute though!
T.M.I.
You are so funny, but yep, so right. This whole pregnancy I keep thinking, "This is it! Not doing this again!" Just pregnancy alone is crazy, uncomfortable, way too emotional, ect. And then we get to go through what you just explained! It's insane that we do this again and again, but when you see that little baby, it is so worth it. I keep having to imagine that part of it to get me through!
The best part of that picture is the bar code on your head. I don't get that.
Cristin- it's a thermometer. I didn't even know it was there until I saw the picture.
very cute I love the smiles on your faces! I really would rather have a baby than be pregnant though,too bad you can't carry them and let me have them. BTW you may want to have them check you for group B right before the delivery sometimes you will be negative after a positive I was positive and then had four more without the atibiotics. Can't wait to see you guys and have family close by again!
