Princess and the pea

     As I head into week 25 of the pregnancy (can't believe I'm almost 7 months now!!), I'm starting the "uncomfortable" phase.  If there is one thing about my personality, it is that I like to be comfortable.  I am the princess and the pea!  It blows my mind that this little baby is going to continue to grow and I'm going to continue to grow for another couple months! 
    My latest "mantra" has been trying to not complain about things, appreciating everything I have and everything around me.   This is an easy process when you feel good and the weather is great.  This becomes a challenge when physically your body starts feeling like someone is pumping up a hot air balloon inside your stomach and it's extending up into your lungs.  So how do I make it through this?  
I guess try to preoccupy myself with other things, keep telling myself it's temporary, practice thankfulness that the baby is still in me and not born prematurely and in need of oxygenand feeding   tubes.  Even through all this, I still have to just vent alittle and say "waaaa", I don't like it!!
     But just like all things in life, stretching to the uncomfortable stage always brings us to a better place.  I will keep repeating my mantras and one day look back at how fast this time really did go.  Until then... Does anyone have a pin to pop me ?? :)
