The problem with whining about pregnancy is the great LACK of PEOPLE who CARE. Nobody in the ward knows I am pregnant and I want it that way until a little after 12 weeks and I relax a little more about the outcome of this pregnancy. So, my friends in the ward are out. Next, my mom just tells me to buck up and get things done regardless.
My husband is the worst option. I start to tell him how miserable I am and he says something like, "Well, four kids is an awful lot." Then my brain starts scrambling around yelling, "Retreat, retreat," and I wind up saying something like . . . "Oh, honey, it's not THAT bad." Heh heh.
All the while I want to curl up on the couch and die. Dr. Swift SAID this pregnancy would be a lot more painful because of the previous c-section, but I thought it was just a sick joke. Or that it would only be more painful at the END of the pregnancy. No. And no again. My stomach has that achy feeling like when you did too many sit-ups the day before, only worse, and combined with perpetual, 24-7 nauseousness. WHEN WILL THE BLESSED SECOND TRIMESTER HIT ANYWAY?? I'm at 11 weeks.
So, thanks for letting me whine. I like that you had no choice. Just don't post anything about bucking up, or "You still have to be the mom," or anything else like that. I don't want to hear about it.
And now I am going to go to the couch, curl myself into a little ball, and try to never move again. How long do you think the kids will let me get away with that?

Buck up!!! hee hee Just kidding!! I agree, I am sooooooo tired that it seems like I could sleep all day long except that the kids won't let me!!!! Oh well, good luck!
You can whine all you want! I think we should all indulge in a little whining now and again...if nobody else lets you, you can whine to me. :) Hugs to you and here's to hoping that the nausea ends in the second trimester.
HANG in there girl! The prize at the end of the race is SO worth it. That's what everyone kept telling me anyway. It worked for a while.
