The first comment about being pregnant vs. caring for a newborn cracks me up because the whole point of being pregnant is to actually HAVE a newborn!!!<br /><br />I had wondered if people would actually think, much less voice out loud the other. I am actually concerned that you will be at higher risk for post-partum depressionKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033823622722768455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474246161732006672.post-63571210915010920552011-04-03T07:37:06.355-07:002011-04-03T07:37:06.355-07:00Those comments are so frustrating.

I remember that, on top of the physical discomfort, I just wanted to MEET my baby, to be on the other side of the childbirth experience, to know that he was okay. By about where you are now, 34-35 weeks, it was a combination of physical and emotional exhaustion; I was so done! And having a newborn, which has it's challenges of course, was such a wonderful Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642067154153540136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474246161732006672.post-32395001336639375042011-04-02T19:26:01.241-07:002011-04-02T19:26:01.241-07:00Sweetie,

Serious kudos to you, I am in awe of how you have handled it all!!<br />I can't wait till you hold your little sweetheart in your Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518341934343792045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474246161732006672.post-37813756225309926522011-04-02T18:58:32.869-07:002011-04-02T18:58:32.869-07:00I remember people telling me to enjoy whatever sle...I remember people telling me to enjoy whatever sleep I got while I was pregnant (what sleep?) because once the twins arrives, there would be no sleep to be had. However, what people don't realize is that no matter what you do in pregnancy, you can NEVER get comfortable enough to sleep well. Once the baby is born, at least you are getting SOME sleep that is sound. I much preferred sleeping Sugar Cookies And Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062321249975691855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474246161732006672.post-26249409334015391952011-04-02T08:59:05.115-07:002011-04-02T08:59:05.115-07:00Oh, sometimes people are just trying to make you f...Oh, sometimes people are just trying to make you feel better! But I had to laugh at those comments. Um, there is NO comparison! Caring for a newborn is SO much better than being pregnant! My gosh. Night and day. Just staring at her precious face ... you won't even care about late night feedings.
