When people ask me how I'm feeling, I am never quite sure how to respond, especially on days like today. Usually I just say, "Great!" or maybe "Really pregnant." I honestly don't think that people want to hear that my back is killing me, or that my breasts are aching, or that my feet and calves are swollen pretty constantly these days, or that my hips are so sore I can barely move in bed, or that I have to sleep sitting up at night lately because my heartburn is so horrible. I honestly don't think they want to know all that. But that's exactly how I feel.
It's not all that bad though... I have had a really great pregnancy so far, no serious problems to speak of. It's just this last bit that's getting to me. I'm trying to enjoy it, to savor the last few weeks of pregnancy: feeling her move, thinking about who she is in there, preparing for her arrival. But days like today make me feel like I'm ready to go as soon as we hit 37 weeks - which, by the way, is 3 weeks and two days... not that I'm counting.

I would like to put in a request for you having her early please.
For posterity:
"I meant to mention before the end of the semester—you are seriously the cutest pregnant woman I have ever seen. you know how pregnancy suits some people, and doesn’t so much suit other people? pregnancy definitely suits you."

Even though it sucks, you've got yourself quite a fan base. ;)
K, you looked beautiful today! I could tell that you're carrying a heavy burden (aka, Eden) but you really have a heart of gold, dear! Thanks for sharing everything in this post with me! :) Love you and lifting you up often!
