Not that I don't need to share my voice too, but I guess that's what my own blog is for.

I find that very hard to bear. On a related subject (at least for me): I used to "submit," but then I started resenting it and shared those feelings in therapy. In a lot of ways I regret that honesty now. It has made my husband a lot more tentative in approaching me.<br /><br />It is very understandable that you have trouble believing in this pregnancy. I think that a little bit of self-protection is okay. There is plenty of time to fall deeply in love when you know that the baby has arrived.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-78260862788997842692010-06-24T11:02:34.949-07:002010-06-24T11:02:34.949-07:00I hear you.

We press on when we are tired or when everyone is complaining. We press on when we feel like we are going bonkers. We just keep on keeping on. We are amazing creatures. I went to the OBGYN the other day and she asked me if it felt like I was carrying the baby in my ass. I said "Why, yes, how did you know?" and she said, "because your abdominal muscles are shot". Awesome. I then came home and found my 4 year old giving my 3 year old a mullet with the sharpest pair of scissors she could find. Super awesome. <br />xo from one pregnant mom to another.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953764061091454844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-8565319974178798202010-06-24T08:23:18.592-07:002010-06-24T08:23:18.592-07:00hyI LOVE THS: "accidentally kicked my sex dr...hyI LOVE THS: "accidentally kicked my sex drive into such high gear Mr. Curry took to carrying a slightly worn, smug look around town."<br />You are so funny!ButtonHolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612426765349119382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-18894246561949511292010-06-23T12:26:10.514-07:002010-06-23T12:26:10.514-07:00The stupidest thing that I've heard during Mrs...The stupidest thing that I've heard during Mrs Sneakz' ongoing pregnancy was the doctor saying "but this is supposed to be a happy time" to her.

I didn't have sex with my hubby almost my entire last pregnancy. Not only did it hurt but I had no desire. I am lucky he is a good man that loves me. I have decided this go around to take it for the team as many times as needed. :) That is good advice.<br /><br />You are awesome and keep up the candid honesty.

We all are sometimes.<br /><br />The only male GYN I've ever seen was one of the four doctors in the practice that delivered my babe - he had the best hands.

You have such a fabulous sense of humor...and your writing just flows so effortlessly. <br /><br />I have to say I loved sex during pregnancy tremendously. (Saw fireworks and even that pesky G-spot seemed findable). Mainly, though, because I didn't have to worry about getting pregnant. Tee-Hee. Oh, and all that luscious, lovely Estrogen lubricating my brain. I swear to God I would abuse Estrogen is my gynocologist would let me. I'd be going from doctor to doctor and drug store to drug store spending my retirement fund for my habit...if I wasn't such a freakin' tightwad.<br /><br />Should you ever need a teeny tiny little voodoo doll for any mean coworkers, just let me know and I'll send you one.
