34 Weeks

You know how you always hear runners say how they hit a wall at a certain mileage while doing races? Well, I would have to say at 34 weeks I have hit my wall where it feels pretty hard to keep going. I've been so sick all weekend with the flu, have zero energy, and just want to throw in the towel. I consider myself a pretty strong person, but this pregnancy has pushed me past what I thought I was capable of. I'm trying so hard to focus on the end result and telling myself I can do this. Every day seems so long at this point. I know I have to hang in there just a little bit longer.....

just remember, these are the last few weeks you will ever be pregnant again in your whole life. and when you are 90 and gray, you will wish for these days back...okay, maybe not that last part :) :)

I think the thing to remember when you start feeling down is that you've ALREADY been pushed past what you THOUGHT you could handle. That right there shows just how strong you are. Give yourself a huge pat on the back!

You have done an amazing job throughout this pregnancy and will continue to do so even after these sweet little guys are born. You can do this Sarah!

Sometimes all that's left to do is just hang in there and understand it is no longer reasonable for you to be expecting to live life how you normally do, and that is just going to have to be okay for now. Let your friends and family who live close to you spoil you when and where they can. We'll keep you in our prayers!

I'm sorry Sarah. You are such a strong person. I can't believe you are just hitting the wall now. If there is anything I can do....

I am feeling for you over here. I wish I could help. Maybe the dr. will give you some relief this morning. You are strong and you can do this. Seriously, Oct. is almost over. I know the days are long, but you are getting so close!

You can do it! You're so close and you've done amazingly well...I would have begged for mercy months ago!
