I could probably stop after writing the title of this post, because it kinda sums up my life. I have entered the time in my pregnancy where all. i. do. is. pee.
Interestingly, I would hazard a guess to say that I spend over 3/4 of my pregnancy in the bathroom. The first 5 months are dedicated to “morning sickness” (or in my case, all day sickness). From month 7 onward, it’s all about the pee. The non-stop pee.
The worst part is that I don’t have any convenient times to pee. It always come right when I’m in the middle of teaching a lesson to my students, or right when my son and I are entrenched in a really fun game of balloon volleyball (bragging moment- he’s super awesome at this game…better then me, which is so sad), or right as I’m falling asleep/in a deep sleep/20 minutes before my alarm is going to go off. And when I have to pee, I have to pee NOW. Kind of like my morning sickness, there’s very little warning or time for me to answer nature’s call.
I’m currently up at least 2 times a night, but I only see it getting worse. If I remember correctly, by the time I was 8.5 months pregnant with The Boy, I was up a minimum of 6 times a night for the bathroom shuffle. I’m hoping that the #zombiemoms I follow on Twitter are still hanging around for me when I get to that point!
Ah, the joys of being pregnant:)
With Girl 6, we had an adjoining bathroom, which was SO SWEET. By the tie we were in our current house, the trip seemed so much longer in the middle of the night because yeah, \i remember all those VERY irritating wakeups in the middle of the night. I’m totally with Carol – the people who talk about loving it mystify me.
I feel for you Sarah. It’s been a long time since I was last pregnant. I can’t remember needing to pee all the time, but I do remember that being pregnant was not a fun time. I hated those women who said the being pregnant was bliss…their skin and hair were never more beautiful. My skin was zity and my legs were swollen and painful.
i HATED the peeing. gawd. i have never felt so much bliss as the first time i went after giving birth. it was glorious! knowing i wouldn’t have to go for another couple of hours!
