The Joys of Pregnancy

When I was pregnant with Ren things were really pretty good up until my last trimester. Then it was an unending nightmare of super-gnarly PUPPP rash, constant, intense heart burn, massive swelling, pre-eclampsia, and finally the less-than-wonderful birth experience.

This time around, I'm not having anywhere near the number of issues I experienced previously (for which I am very, very grateful), but I am SO TIRED. Are my memories of all the other stuff blocking out memories of being tired last time? Was it just that I was three years younger and/or didn't have a toddler? I don't know, but I sure am glad this baby is coming in just four more weeks*!!!

(*Yes, I know that's 38 weeks, not 40. Since I've got Type 1 diabetes they won't let me go past 38 weeks, so the C-section is scheduled for 12/10/14.)

I don't know whether it's age or just having other kids, but I am also constantly exhausted this time around (I literally sleep 9-10 hours a night when I'm able to and still feel tired). I know I'm anemic, but that was also true of my earlier pregnancies. Thank goodness it will be over for both of us relatively soon!
