35 weeks

I'm hitting the home stretch...finally. It has gone by pretty fast, but now these last few weeks seem to be dragging.

I'd be lying if I said that I'm loving this pregnancy. In fact, I'm 100% more miserable this time around. I feel so many more aches & pains it's crazy. My entire body feels like it's about to explode. All of my muscles hurt. My feet kill me to walk on them. I've gained just as much weight as I did with Rylee- except I still have 5 or so weeks to go. :/ My belly button looks like it's about to explode open.

Everyone still says that 'I look good' and maybe I do. I know it could be worse, but I'm miserable. I'm over it. I never want to be pregnant again. This entire pregnancy has been rough, not just the end. I have braxton hicks all day long. She feels like she is jumping on a nerve at all times and gives me this pain.

How's that for blunt?

 Now on the left & Rylee on the right at 35w.

I'm starting to freak a little when wondering how I'm going to split my time between 2 babies. I hear it's easier when you get a little settled, but I'll be in school until beginning of December. I'm freaking about that too. I have no motivation this semester even though it's my last one for 9 months. I'm hoping once I'm not pregnant anymore, I will feel like myself & have my energy back. I'll probably get more sleep, too.
