The Wall

For those of you who have been pregnant, do you remember nearing the end of the nine months and feeling like you simply cannot and do not want to go on?
Yes, I have hit THAT wall.
I could use some prayers of encouragement. I have great support from Keith but he is a man and truly cannot empathize with how I am feeling.
I am pre-mourning the loss of my freedom. I am seeing so much around me that needs to be done before Sept 26th and don't have the energy to accomplish. I am feeling a bit neglected by certain people I had hoped to depend on. My heartburn is incredibly painful and my stomach muscles burn from being stretched beyond reason. Oh I could go on but this is getting ugly.
This sound like a pathetic pity party but it's my reality at the moment.
I sure hope I am in a better frame of mind soon!

Oh Rachel. I wish I could transport myself to your house right now and give you a big hug. Sounds like you could use it. But instead of that, I'll be praying for you.

Oh sweetie. Yep, we've all been there! Hang in there! (Not like you have another option right?) boo. You can have as many pity parties as you please. We are here to listen!

I remember those feelings very well... I'm praying for you Rachel. Don't feel bad for expressing how you feel. It's better to be real than fake any day.

One baby is not too much loss of freedom...I know you will be happily surprised how much this baby is going to add to your life and not take away from it! I remember the end of pregnancy being very trying and the beginning of newborn very tiring but God will give you strength for each day and remember DO NOT DO TOO MUCH!!! Let others take care of you! Now and then:) Hugs and prayers!!!

Hang in there, Rachel! Put your feet up lots, do what you can in the moments your body will cooperate, and keep your eye on the prize: a safe and healthy delivery of your new baby boy!!!!!!
