Because seriously, I am ready to have this pregnancy over after seeing so many CUTE babies lately! I just wanna hold mine now!
When I was pregnant with Carter I was so sad not to be pregnant anymore once he arrived: and no, not because I actually had to take care of a child and lose sleep, but it was just really nice being knocked up. I like the feeling of movements, hiccups and twists; but this time? Not so much. I find each movement a little uncomfortable and each kick painful. Maybe it’s the constant illnesses that have ruined it for me, or the fact that I am achy and tired all the time.
Only 106 days to go.

I am even more ready for Maternity Leave this time as well, though this time I feel a little bit guilty. Imagine that. I’ve only been back to work for about a year and a half and I’m taking another full year off. As wonderful as it is, it’s taken me this long to get back into the routine of work while parenting and to leave again? It’s a little sad.
I said little.
Though, I will have the opportunity to concentrate on designing and building a decent client base and well… we’ll see…. that’s if I can get any clients after the hiatus I’ve taken. *shakes head* Even thinking about it makes me upset, sad, guilty that I’ve worked so hard to get it going and then seems like I’ve dropped it. It’s really hard to not do it, but at the same time, I just can’t spend the time, and I don’t have the energy for it at the moment.
That’s why I’m in the midst of talking to my dear bloggy friend Leslie (aka Mrs. Flinger) about designing something for me. I need a change, something to inspire me to blog more (since whenever I see my blog I feel blah and totally lose my creative edge. *cough* So hopefully she comes up with something really cool, and really me that will get me back into writing and sharing more often. I’d love to showcase more photos I’ve taken and lots of colour, yet completely inviting – so that even I want to be here!
I need change.
Change is good.
Change is revitalizing.
Embrace change.

My last pregnancy was miserable also… but I still missed it when it was over LOL And I won’t even comment on the WHOLE YEAR MATERNITY THING. Can you say jealous???
The novelty of being pregnant and feeling all the movement definitely wore off the second time around with me, too.
I love the way your blog looks. I’m jealous, in fact. Especially of your mad skillz. I want to change my template so badly, but know i’ll screw it up. Anyway, Mrs. F will do a fabulous job!

Sam, Sam, Sam. Change is baaaaad! Didn’t they teach you that?
Just kidding. Hope you feel well soon. And 106 days? I have 28 more weeks, dude. That’s 196. 196! But who’s counting?

This pregnancy has been similiar for me. The first time, I LOVED being pregnant. This time? It’s uncomfortable and I’m just ready for that baby! I’ve got 77 days left.
You’re much braver than me with the blog re-designing stuff. Mine will probably look exactly the same forever and ever, because I fear the change.

Same with me Sam. I loved being pg the first time. This last one, not as much. Don’t get me wrong, I tried for over 2 years to get pg and was extremely happy, however, I was much more uncomfortable. I think we tend to forget all the aches and uncomfyness until the second time around.
Oh, and I understand about the whole blog thing. I’ve lost my edge lately too. But mine will probably never change as I fear change.

I looked at my pregnancy book last week and saw 95 days to go. It was a big “holy shit” moment. When the hell did I breech the 100 day mark? Oh freaken crap.
