36 weeks

I'm now 36 weeks...which apparently is the "miserable pregnant woman stage" because that's exactly what I am. I'm in loads of pain, about the same amount of pain I was in during early active labor with Katie. I can barely walk because the baby is in my pelvis and is causing such huge amounts of pressure and feeling like my pelvis is going to split. My tailbone constantly aches. I've been losing my mucus plug quite a bit in the last two days. I'm SO tired. My back is killing me 24/7.

Like I said, I'm pretty miserable.

The good thing about this is that I'm no longer fearing the end. I'm so tired that I don't care, I just want it done because i know I'm going to get more tired, more pain, more miserable and the end result will still be the same.

I took pictures today of being 36 weeks, but I'm too exhausted to put them up or edit them, so they'll still be late. I just want to sleep today!

I really wish Bill didn't have to work, because all I want is someone to stay home and cuddle with me, be there to help with Katie and get me food, and just keep me company and help with the pain and watch tv with me. Bill makes me so much less miserable even during the contractions, and I'm having separation anxiety every time he leaves. I feel more secure when he's home. But of course, he can't stay home. Last time this phase hit me in second trimester with Katie, I wonder if it's here to stay until the baby is born since it came so late in pregnancy.
