It's Official.....

I am done being pregnant! 

Let me make something clear...of course, I'll suffer through a few more weeks so my babies can be healthy and strong and come home from the hospital with me but that doesn't mean I am sick of being pregnant.  I know I am lucky to even say that I am pregnant but I'm over it now.

It is difficult to do anything these days with swollen feet and now carpal tunnel in both hands due to swelling.  Yep, didn't think that could happen but it does.  Even as we type I can't even feel my right hand.  It is completely numb ALL.THE.TIME.  I ice my feet every night and get to wear these lovely braces on both hands at night.  Fun times!




I know once the babies are out I'll wish I was pregnant again but for right now it is kind of unpleasant.  It's hard to make dinner anymore.  In fact, take out is our new friend or just grab something you like.  Cleaning is on an "as needed" basis as of this week.  I cleaned the bathrooms yesterday and decided that was my last time doing that.  My cleaning help hasn't texted me back and it is driving Jason crazy. :)  Maybe he is just used to my level of cleaning but now that I'm giving it up he is worried our house will go to pot.  lol

My new job is to put my feet up and keep those babies in for a few more weeks!

It's really frustrating because I feel like I can do it but I can't.  My back starts to hurt and don't even mention my feet and hands.  I want to take care of my family the way I'm used to but it just isn't happening.  Ugh!  Luckily, Jason has stepped up and has helped out.  But it still is frustrating.

Sorry for the vent but I'm just keeping it real.

Yeah, I totally feel your pain, or I DID feel your pain. I wasn't even pregnant with twins and I had to give up quite a few cleaning things. It's just too tiring. I'm sorry you're "suffering" through this time, it really is the worst part of the pregnancy. Here is hoping that those kiddos get here soon, all healthy, safe and sound. It does feel GREAT having them on the outside!
