The perks of pregnancy

I swore that when or if I finally got pregnant, I would never complain about anything.  So, when people ask me how I'm feeling, I always say "good".  For the most part, I do feel good and I have had a good pregnancy so far.  BUT, there are a few things that I'm having a hard time accepting right now.  For starters...the weight gain and increase of cellulite.  I know the answer to this is to work out and exercise, but by the time I get home everyday I have no motivation to get outside and walk.  I have never seen my legs looks so horrible and my ass is just a jiggly ball of cottage cheese.  It makes me worry about getting back into shape after pregnancy.  Speaking of gaining...my boobs are growing by the day.  I just bought a 36D from Victoria's Secret 2 weeks ago and have already grown out of that bra.  WTF??  You would think I'd be happy to have porn-star boobs, but I think it's contributing to my back pain.  OHHH, the back pain.   Around mid-day each day, I start getting a throbbing, burning pain inbetween my shoulder blades on my right side.  It is miserable!  I feel like I'm already waddling around work, like I'm 9 months pregnant. I pee on the hour every hour.  I am starting to have trouble sleeping.  I think I'm starting to get the heartburn and have been having acid reflux...something I've never had before.  All I can think to myself is how I'm going to do this for another 4 months.  Am I being a wimp?  Maybe I am.  I'm hoping it's all just my body trying to adjust to my growing belly and my growing baby and the aches and pains will become more bearable as I get closer to February.  I asked TJ last night how I'm going to do this and he said you just will, you will adjust.  Maybe this is nature's way of preparing me for the aches and pains Charlee will bring me later on in life.  Who knows..

Ultimately, I know that when I see her beautiful face for the first time, I will look back on these moments and laugh.  I know that every single ache and pain will be worth it in the end.  I paid very good money for these aches and pains and waited a long time for them, so I know I should be thanking God.  So, thank you God, for the weight gain, the cellulite, the heartburn and whatever else may lay ahead...I wouldn't change it for the world.
   

Ok, I'm done venting.
