Pregnancy... In My Experience

I guess I'm a little slow to start a blog about my experience in pregnancy.  Although, it was probably God telling me to wait so this blog wasn't filled with all things negative & cuss words galore about pregnancy.  To say the least, I have had a miserable pregnancy.  I am not one to sugar-coat anything and tell you how wonderful it is and all women should do it.  I realize I don't have my little bundle of joy here yet to tell you all that every minute was worth it, so for now, all I can say is, it sucks.  I know my mom doesn't like that word but it's the best description I can give right now.... so, sorry mom.
The truth about pregnancy.... Aside, from the first week of finding out, I have hated every single minute of it.  I think I started vomiting week 7 and didn't stop until week 22.  I still felt miserable from week 22 thru 27.  I had my last round of vomiting at 27 weeks... maybe it was my last hoorah because (knock on wood) I've felt much better since.  I am currently 29 weeks and counting... and I, for one, am counting fast!! :)  For all those women who have never had a rough spot in their pregnancy & think it's the most wonderful thing in the world, I'd like to punch you in the face. :)  Ok, clearly joking about that, but I really don't think it's fair that some women, like myself, have to be completely miserable throughout the entire 9 months while others are able to get out of bed every morning without the taste of vomit in their mouths and shine all day with the pregnancy "glow."  It's just not fair! :)  Moving on... Ty has been amazing throughout the entire pregnancy.  He has always put me first since day one of our relationship and that hasn't changed one bit.  Anything I needed, from going to town to get me the only thing that sounded remotely good to eat, rushing me to the ER when I couldn't stop throwing up, cooking his own supper, cleaning, laundry, he has done it all.  Not to mention, working his ass off to get the opportunity for us to move back to Texas and closer to family & friends!!  We have been married for 5 1/2 years now and he has wanted kids since day one.  I, on the other hand, was fine with waiting a LONG time if not forever for the pitter-patter of little feet.  So he has been extremely patient waiting on me to come around on the "kids" subject and has been wonderful to take care of me while we are expecting our first son.  We are both so excited about Baby Brown's upcoming arrival & are counting the weeks, days & minutes until December!!
