And they sailed on.

My Dad told me that in the Mayflower log the most common entry was "And they sailed on," meaning much of life must be trudged through a day at a time and is not glamourous. I think a pregnant woman must have kept that log--a nice one who knew to say nothing when you have nothing nice to say. I'm 32 weeks now, and trudging on.

that's an awesome quote. I think I'll pass it on!! 32 weeks is way over the hump of pregnancy... I'm sorry the last 4 weeks last 4 months, though. Or so it seems, huh?

Well said! Pleasant words are hard to come by when you feel like a complete tank.

That's such a great phrase. It has been going through my head over and over since I read it. It makes me feel like a schmoe that I'm so impatient with my little inconveniences. Heaven help me if I'm ever pregnant. Anyway, I'll pray for your sanity. In the meantime, I'd try some Billy Madison clips. Those usually take the edge off for me.
