I have a confession

MotherBucker · March 2010

and I'm sure someone will tell me how ungrateful I am.

I'm jealous of you girls. I miss being pregnant.
Don't get me wrong...I"m so thankful that Cooper is doing as well as he is. I know things could be much worse.

But Cooper is my last baby and I feel like I'm missing out on the last moments of being pregnant. I miss feeling him kick early in the mornings. I even miss my belly!

Please, treasure these last few moments you have being pregnant, even when they suck. I sure do miss them sometimes.

*hugs* you're not ungrateful...you're human

You deserve to feel any way you want! You weren't used to the idea of not being pregnant anymore before little Cooper made his debut. ****HUGS*****

No flames here - the heartburn and rib pain suck, but I know that I am going to be bummed about not being pregnant anymore while, at the same time, totally excited that LO is finally here.

I get the feeling that we'll be trying for LO #2 sooner than we originally discussed. Wink

Glad to hear Super Cooper is still doing well!

I can understand your feelings! It's almost like being "robbed" of the last uncomfortable moments of pregnancy. We all know you are grateful for Cooper and how amazingly strong he is, I don't think anyone will blame you for your feelings.

I am on the flip side... I want my baby to stay in as long as he/she needs... but I am a VERY impatient person and I want to hold/look at/smell my baby! I'm not one of the many ladies who LOVES being pregnant! Embarrassed

Oh hun... I think that's totally understandable!!! Not only do you miss being pregnant, I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact that Cooper came so early and would not have to fight so hard, stay in the NICU, etc, if you didn't go into PTL (totally NOT your fault in the least!!!!) He would/should still be growing strong in your belly.

I would be totally the same way if I knew this was my last pregnancy (we want 3). And I can't even imagine how you feel knowing it was your last and that you missed out on 13 weeks of it.

But the good thing is that you birthed a super hero

And did you see my blog comment this morning? Please do not put dates as your post titles ever again. Ever. You scared the crap out of me, woman.

MotherBucker · March 2010

I saw that...sorry!

I replied and said I can't ever think of title posts, that's why I was putting the date!

Not ungrateful at all - I haven't posted before relating to Cooper, etc. but I'm so glad for you that he's doing as well as he is.

MrsBraun · March 2010

Oh no, I completely understand what you're trying to say...

Even though I got slightly flamed for being a complainer last night, I actually really do enjoy this pregnancy and if I were to have LO right now, I would feel robbed of those last weeks as well.

Glad Cooper is doing so well!! What an amazing little guy

You ungrateful wench!

Awh -- Like someone else said earlier, that's not being ungrateful -- it is totally being human Smile .

I'm so glad that everything is going well for you and Cooper! I love that you are keeping up with all of us too Yes

Lol... I forgive you

You've been such an inspiration. No one would judge you for feeling this way!

I look at Cooper and can't help but think of the LO still baking in my oven. I'm 29 weeks now, and it's hard to imagine giving birth to such a little guy. You are both "super" in my mind!!

laurieb602 · March 2010

I just read your blog! I'm bummed I can't see pictures at work...I'll have to look again from home. You are Cooper are truly an inspiration and your feeling are completely normal, you were robbed of those last few months but you have a true fighter and maybe someone upstairs knew he could make it through and be stronger in the end! Good luck to you and Super Cooper!
