Pregnancy...A Pain in My [Belly]

Ughhhhhh....Ok, I KNOW I am supposed to be "glowing" right now. I KNOW that I am creating life, which is supposedly this beautiful process that all kinds of people wish they could do and can't. I know there have been bazillions of women who've gone through it before me and will after me. However, I don't like it. I'm not glowing at all...My skin is dry & cracking, my hormones are raging (sometimes), and I'm a virtual time bomb if my stomach is empty. I sometimes feel so guilty, and I am not trying to offend my unborn child or anything, but I walk around my house (okay WADDLE) and mutter aloud, "I hate being pregnant." My husband just laughs quietly, mostly to himself, which most of the time I find cute and end up cracking a smile myself, but last night I just got pissed and went to bed. He asked me what was wrong, and I replied, "I'm pregnant. I'm tired, I'm fat, I had to ROLL off the sofa, and there's nothing to eat in the house."
I can laugh about it this morning, but last night I was honestly hard core pissed. Thank GAWD I was able to pass out without much trouble after taking a Zantac (3rd for the day---I know I am only supposed to take 2), choke down a prenatal vitamin, drink some more water, oh and then pee for the 2nd time before I even fell asleep. I guess it's nice that I was able to fall asleep without much trouble though, honestly.
I can do literally nothing about the fact that for some reason my body thinks I have turned into a whale and needs to store every calorie I take in...I hate the women who gain 20-30 lbs their entire pregnancy. I have gained 30 and still have 14 weeks to go. With my first one, I gained 65 lbs. No, that's NOT a typo. I am normally a petite person with a decent figure, and now I can't even see to shave my legs.
I guess the point of this is that I don't want to be the only one. I LOVE my daughter, and I will absolutely love this baby just as much, but I would love it more if it didn't suck my life dry for 10 months before deciding to show his/her face. I think the worst part is all those women out there who just love being pregnant. For example, the Duggar family...I honestly want to KILL TLC for thinking that this show is a good idea. Who in their right mind has that many kids??? Her stomach has to look like a topographical map of Europe. I just wonder if there's a point when her husband says, "I love you, babe, but maybe we should stop?" Is she trying to break some record? HASN'T she already broken it???
I don't know...If I believed in God, I would say that he's up there laughing his ass off right now at me. "HAHAHA, look at her! She's HUGE! She's miserable! Hey, Jesus, can you pop some more popcorn?" I guess it's probably better that I don't believe, because if I did, I'd just be pissed at God. Instead I'll just hope the days pass quickly and that I don't explode before the baby comes...
Til next time...
