Vent...

I know I haven't kept up with this - I kind of knew I wouldn't. But I need a place to vent anonymously.

I hate being pregnant. I haven't felt GOOD even one singular, full day. And now that I have a giant belly and my upper arms and thighs are bigger than they used to be, I feel like I'm trapped in some huge, painful, uncomfortable body and the only saving grace is this little girl is the light at the end of the tunnel.

I hate when people, family and friends included, want to touch my belly. Or look at my belly and tell me how cute it is. It's NOT CUTE. I HATE IT. It makes me feel fat and uncomfortable and miserable. I hate that strangers want to tell me congratulations or to ask me if I know what I'm having. I HATE HATE HATE when people tell me "wow, you're due next month? It's gone by so fast!" Ha! No, it has NOT gone by fast when you feel exhausted all day every day, have incredible back pain and rib pain, and random vomiting throughout the last two thirds of the pregnancy.

Oh, and here's the best part. The unsolicited advice. I hate  unsolicited advice more than anything in the world. If I wanted to know what you thought I should eat or drink or do or buy, I would ask you. But I didn't, so don't tell me.

I'm just having a bad day and needed somewhere to go, anonymously, and get some of this out. Thank you for reading, if you did.
