Okay so surely I'm not the only one who feels like whining and complaining pretty much all of the time. So here's the thread to do it in! Spare your significant others, mothers, and best friends (or at least minimize the whining they hear) and whine here about all the horrible things you are going through. We all need to vent a little right?

I'll start: little Miss decided to wake me up at 5:30 with some of her body parts way up in my ribs, and I haven't been back to sleep. On a Saturday morning! And I've got a pretty long day ahead of me to have only gotten a fitful 6 hours of sleep (I do much better with 12 since being pregnant!)

Although all her little 'Good morning' pokes down in my belly were really sweet. Despite all this discomfort, I just love her so frikkin' much and can't wait to kiss her all over!!!

I am not and have never been a morning person. At least until now. For most of this pregnancy I've been waking up at 6:30 at least to pee. The past few days I couldn't fall back asleep, which is unheard of for me (I'm a 'can't fall asleep' insomniac, not a 'can't stay asleep' one).

So today I actually got up at 6 a.m. Note, I'm posting before 7. Seriously, this time of day shouldn't exist.

Hmm, all I can really think about right now is how my cervix feels so sore, like it's one big bruise, and has since I went on a way-too-long shopping trip with my in-laws on Thursday. And how I have to go grocery shopping today which I'm assuming won't make things better!

My belly has been aching for several days now. I think we're having a massive growth spurt in that area and its just not comfy at all. I can really tell he's growing and getting bigger. His movements hurt now and it feels like he doing a lot more damage than before. My hand and wrists are killing me!! I can't stand it. If I go to grab something I have to be really careful otherwise I wind up in a lot of pain. Same goes with my shoulder (I've never had shoulder problems) I feel like if I extend my arm or lift the dog food bag (its a little 3 lb bag) I feel like its going to dislocate or something. That relaxin hormone sure is relaxing everything lol. A bit TOO much if you ask me. As far as sleep I'm actually back to napping tons during the day. Reminds me of the 1st trimester with all the sleeping.

I did a *lot* of cleaning on Thursday and Friday. I noticed yesterday that I wasn't feeling a lot of movement from the baby, but put it off as I was working a lot and he was probably lulled to sleep. When I got up this morning, he wasn't moving either, so I freaked out... grabbed a jelly donut and some milk (both are quite high in sugars/carbs, obviously) and waited. It took a lot of poking and prodding, but he's moving around now.

So, my chief whine...cleaning! It freaks the baby (and mama) out!!! I was seriously ready to run to the ER to get a heartbeat check. Ugh.

Of course, I could also whine about the fact that my kids aren't helping with cleaning the house. They'd rather be playing WoW with (or without) daddy!

I also got sick and tired of my DD17 who wanted a cat so badly and is not being responsible about cleaning the box...because I can't. So I went and bought one of the electric boxes. The cat uses it, at least, and I don't have to smell cat crap all day! But still, who's the one changing the container? Well, not me but DH!

May I?

I'm mostly tired, and sore, and ready for my pre-term contractions to give me a break. I don't sleep well because every contraction makes me feel like I have to pee, so I get up constantly to (sorry if tmi) sit on the toilet only to hear "drip drip drip". UGH! And when the contractions get storng, they wake me up and keep me up. And don't even get me started on my pelvis and lower back!

I am grateful to have a healthy baby girl growing inside me, and love her so much already, but I can't wait for the pregnancy part of this to be done.

I'm sorry to everyone else who is feeling not quite great....
We can do this though, right?

My whole body hurts so much and I am irritated by everyone around me. My sisters were here visiting and it was my daughters birthday yesterday adn I didn't get to go see her because I can't fly.

I just am bitter and irritated right now at the world.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one ready cry from soreness, tiredness, and over all life.

So I'm very glad that the neighbor kids like to hang out here and play. I feel better knowing what they are doing with my son, but man! For the short time that my son was at the neighbors this morning I decided to take the dog for a walk and do some yard work by noon I could barely walk. Did I mention that the boys showed up to play here just about then and oh yeah were "STARVING!" That is also when DH's phone goes off because some stuff at work blew up and he has to go fix it. So he leaves and now I have two hungry boys to feed, and two dozen eggs to boil for tomorrow. My son seems to forget our rules about picking up after himself when his friend is over, and they both have requests that seem to keep me running. They are both of course fighting because it's the end of spring break, and they are tired and getting on each others nerves. In general the neighbor kid is not behaving/trying to talk my son in to doing things that aren't allowed. Finally I told him to go home. Then my son starts to cry until I tell him he can go over there. He goes for about an hour and now they are back plus his ten year old brother! I want to run away! I can't though cause well...walking hurts!

At least I got dinner in the crock pot before I got sore.
