A rant

At almost 40 weeks I am beginning to wonder why women actually want to go through with this more than once? I hear a lot from other mom's lately that they miss being pregnant. Fact is I probably will want to do this again, just not in the middle of summer, and not for a few years (give myself time to forget how uncomfortable this last part is). I have a stretch mark driving me crazy, a kitten who is crazy, I'm hot beyond belief, I want to go to festivals out of town but am too worried something just might happen, the list goes on and on and on, but mostly I just want to meet my baby and hold him or her. I feel like its going to be very soon just not today although I wish it would be. My hormones have upped my bitch factor to the max and I'm driving my partner crazy because I have seemingly gone crazy. Alternating between baby please cuddle with me and get the hell away from me you're smothering me. I have never felt more not myself - like the normal mellow me has just completely left the building and an evil twin has replaced me. Yeah so I could be better but I know if I can do this I can do just about anything.

I have both brother and a sister, and we are very close now as adults. I am so happy my mom had a third child. I feel wealthy with family.
