Too good to be true

This entire week I've had this "this is too good to be true" feeling all week long. I'm just so happy and so excited that I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy, and that I'll be experiencing l&d and be holding my baby in just a couple months.

It really just feels all to good to be true! Big Smile

    I'm always sure to read your posts because we're pretty close in due date and seems like we're usually going through most of the same things...

    Could you send me a little of this feeling, please?

    I was up at 3am curled up over the sink in my bathroom, sobbing "I don't want to be pregnant anymore" over and over again while I tried to cough all the stomach acid and vomit out of my lungs (I woke up choking on it, for the 10th night in a row or something).

    2 hours of sleep a night for the last 2 weeks, and I'm really having a hard time holding on to how blessed I am.  And I KNOW I am.  But gosh, it's hard to see through the sleep deprivation, hip/crotch pain and horrifying acid reflux.

    Your post simultaneously makes me feel guilty for having a down day, and reminds me how blessed I am (a kick in the pants I really needed), so I'm now sitting here squeezing my eyes shut and trying to capture a bit of your happy feeling....  =)

    I'm so sorry. That definitely sucks and trust me, I have had my fair share of what you're feeling. I'm definitely ready to be done with this pregnancy (I am large and waaaay uncomfortable), but I guess when I think of the magnitude of what I'm embarking on that's when I get the "too good to be true" feeling.

    Sending you a big hug and some joy!

    Thanks!  I needed that.  Your post was seriously a much-needed and incredible reminder of how lucky I am to GET to be 30 weeks pregnant with all its associated misery, and to have made it here without the problems that so many other people encounter.  So I'm miserable. I'm HERE.  And you're right, that's so good it seems sometimes like it'll disappear if I blink.

    Single digit weeks.  We can do it!  *deep breath*  =)
