are we there yet?

Well, I think for the first time I have been absolutely fed up with this pregnancy business. Maybe that will go away tomorrow (I guess we'll see since I will be pregnant then too). I have definitely come to the conclusion that pregnancy is NOT for sissies, and anyone that thinks anything about it is "easy" is an idiot! I think with 29 days to go (who's counting!), I'm ready to get this thing OUT of me NOW! It's not that I feel horrible, but I think I'm starting to forget what if feels like to feel "normal" - because how I feel is definitely NOT normal! Well, just thought I needed to vent a little- sorry!. I think some of it has to do with my childbirth classes. I really don't think I like them very much - I'd really rather not know what is going to happen, and I don't care to see any more graphic births on dvd. They don't ever go like you plan - and there are never two alike for that matter. I truly think ignorance is bliss in this case. I don't have the option of an epidural, so I guess some relaxation techniques are great to learn, however at our last class my last husband couldn't seem to stop trying to make me laugh, and was unfortunately very successful at it. He decided we needed to bring a metronome so that my breathing would be slow and even, and when I nixed that idea, he thought maybe some rap music would keep me in line. Then he starts in on the "fe fi fo fum" business instead of the "he he he ho" thing I'm SUPPOSED to be doing. Which he quickly turns into a "he ha he ha" since he realizes that I'm already rolling. If you know my husband, you know he has this strange condition where he physically CANNOT whisper. I'm not sure how he got this problem, but he's sitting there "whispering" all of this in my ears as I'm supposed to "he he he ho" to a point where the poor couple next to us is deeply disturbed (laughing) as well. It was all a bit embarrassing (for me) since I was the one laughing and he was looking all innocent. Maybe that is a sign we just shouldn't go back. The only class I really need at this point is the tour of the m ward 'cause I'm ready!
