I am the same when I am bored, it drives me crazy and I start thinking too much. I too try and embrace the boredom as I know it won't last but it is not easy for Type A ppl like you and I. Your last line sums it up perfectly. We know you are not ungrateful..just bored!! You have every right to complain- don't worry about what anyone else things. All you can do is be you, and feel what you feel in the moment. Stay strong. You are amazing.Jessienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281513950529683288.post-72001706994464024192009-11-03T15:07:37.578-05:002009-11-03T15:07:37.578-05:00You can complain to me. I can't empathize, bec...You can complain to me. I can't empathize, because I haven't been pregnant, but I can sympathize.<br /><br />And just because your baby is alive doesn't mean that your morning sickness didn't suck or that it's hard getting so big.<br /><br />Boredom sucks. I won't say "enjoy it now because you won't have any time later". I never understood that thinking. We can't "stock up" on time, and use it later when we need it. If we could, I would start stocking up on sleep NOW for when I have a baby (even though that's at least a year away for me). But we can't do that. So, when you're bored, feel free to pick up the phone to call me: 372-2850. I'm usually home most days, unfortunately. You can talk, or you can listen (just ask me about the new dog). Boredom sucks, and it makes me think about bad things, too. About people I've lost - my cousin, my cousin's late son, my aunt, of course your Noah and Sarah's mom, and about my mom's cancer. My mind gets filled with unhappy thoughts when I'm bored, which is unfortunate because there are so many good things in the world to think about.<br /><br />I doubt you'll be bored much longer with your mum arriving. I know your mum, and I know how great she is. I can understand that some people might find it weird, but if they knew Glenda, they'd know how much her arrival is a blessing for you!<br /><br />Anyway, enough rambling on my part!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010855220044881380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281513950529683288.post-28794663692715507812009-10-29T08:16:39.768-04:002009-10-29T08:16:39.768-04:00you can complain.. because the difference is, you&...you can complain.. because the difference is, you're complaining, but not TAKING FOR GRANTED. people who havent lost a baby, who are complaining "im so fat!".. are taking for granted how lucky they are to be pregnant/fat. i believe that you are WELL AWARE how lucky you are to have charlotte despite being so unlucky with noah. but that doesnt make the little discomforts of pregnancy disappear. or the anxiety of waiting.<br /><br />btw.. i tagged you in my friendship award post, in case you hadnt noticed :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007474885671559328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281513950529683288.post-78091989684788895812009-10-28T22:08:07.770-04:002009-10-28T22:08:07.770-04:00Could have written this myself, Jane.
