First Movements!
Michelle,
You are not alone in having the whole "not enjoying" being pregnant feeling. I hated being pregnant...I must be a masochist, cuz I sure did do it a lot. LOL I did enjoy feeling the baby move, to a certain extent, but I am a pretty small person (not quite 5 feet), so not a whole lot of room for a baby to be in there, so it was uncomfortable, and I felt like my personal space was so violated...lol I never understood PPD just because I wanted to dance in the streets the second I had my babies because I was so excited to have my body back (even if it was fat and ugly...lol)
Just know, you are not wierd or alone...I think there are a lot more women out there like you and me, but just do not admit it because we are "supposed" to think being pregnant is the biggest miracle out there, and don't get me wrong, it is, but that doesn't mean we have to enjoy every minute of it!
I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly and that your organs do not get too beat up and bruised with your little ones practicing karate in there :)
Take Care!

Laura-
It's so funny you replied to my post. I literally said to my husband yesterday "how in the world do women do this 8 times "! Some women really seem to thrive during pregnancy. Me, I don't like it one bit. I didn't like when I wa 22 and I still don't like it at 40!!!! I think mostly it is because I am a completely stubborn person that HATES being told what to do. And being pregnant is all about doing what others tell you that you "have" to do.
I feel bad saying anything, as i know so many women would do anything to be in my position. I'm happy that I'm having twins... I just want to fast forward through the next several months!

Michelle,
I don't know how I did it either, but I did. I think I was just a really big ****** for a lot of years...LOL I know you love your babies and will be ready to burst with excitement when they get here...we just need to tranquilize you for the next few months and you will be good to go!
:) I hope you have a good day and don't get internally beat up too badly :)

That's so exciting! I look forward to your posts since we have the same due date so I can know where you are at (0: I haven't felt my little one yet (every time I thought I might, it ended up being gas). I am assuming it's because this is my first and many people say they feel theis 2nd earlier. I can't wait to feel the little one move!
Can't wait to hear what you're having. We have to wait til March 4. It seems like FOREVER away!
