I'm a wuss

So, I know after you have a baby, you forget all the pain you went through to have him.  That must have definitely happened with Ben, because in hindsight, I remember my first pregnancy as being a breeze compared to this one.  I know it wasn't.  i know I had my fair share of nausea and aches, but nothing like I'm dealing with this time.  In the last 3 years, I've turned into a complete wuss.  This time around, my allergies are outrageous.  My hormones are worse.  And my energy level in through the floor.  I had another day yesterday where I could swear I either had a bug or food poisoning.  I thought I was in better shape going into this pregnancy, but maybe not.  It sure doesn't feel that way.  I'm wondering if that is a foreshadowing of this child's personality.  Is he/she going to be one that likes to shake things up, push the envelope, drive his/her parents nuts.  It definitely seems as though the will of this child is stronger than Ben's.  It will be interesting to see his/her personality when he/she comes out.  I have so much to be thankful for, and this pregnancy is a breeze compared to others I know.  I just have to keep my hormones in check and keep perspective.  Thank you Lord for this life growing inside me and for the challenges I'm facing in bringing him/her into the world.  It will make his/her entrance that much more special!
