Some encouragement for us moms!!!

I was laying in bed last feeling sorry for myself (as I do), bc I'm 34 weeks, uncomfortable is an understatement, sciatica, my 15/mo old just got over the stomach virus who gave it to my DH who gave it to me. I have now not been dealing w a stomach virus from hell for 5 days, think I was becoming dehydrated as I couldn't keep hardly anything down, baby room isn't done, house isn't clean, money is tight, can't sleep at night bc I get up every 10mins to pee, and ya know what every one of my friends is on vacation to the beach this week and posting pics all over online.... Hahaha! Oh poor me. But then I started to feel guilty for thinking like this and started to say GIRL, you are amazing! You are creating life in your womb, a little person who moves and hiccups all the time, little reminders that he's going to be here soon. No one said it would be easy but this is what you wanted and it's going to be so worth it once that little squishy fat baby makes his appearance and cries for the first time and you, HIS mom, cuddles and cries over how beautiful he is. You will miss this time, yes, believe me, you will when he was inside you and you didn't have to worry about protecting him from evil or sickness or bullies. Just try to find peace in all this.
I also remembered all the friends I know, and there are many, who have not been able to get pregnant or have had miscarriages. And that also made me feel guilty. What a GIFT it is to be able to carry a child in your womb. Embrace it and be grateful! Oh it's hard at times for sure.
It's easy to get worn down and exhaisted and just down right READY for baby to be done cooking. But be encouraged moms! Baby will be here soon. Every ache and pain will have been so worth it. Stay strong warriors and baby makers!!
