Turning the I Can't into the I Will Soon Again!

The "I cants" of pregnancy.. 

First I would like to say that I can't express enough how grateful Nick and I are to be welcoming a little baby girl into our lives in the very near future.  Most of this experience has been truly amazing, but nearing the end, I find myself saying "I can't" more and more.  Although I do feel that I have had it pretty easy for the past 8 months! I keep reminding myself that it will all be worth it and when I hold our baby girl for the first time all this will be light years past. 

The I cants.. 

While being pregnant is completely amazing and surreal, there are also the elements that you are not quite prepared for.  These start at about the 30-33 week mark (at least they did for me).  

I would like to consider myself a pretty self sufficient person (until recently).  I find myself saying I can't a lot more than I ever imagined or wanted.  

I can't reach that.. 

I can't pick that up.. 

I can't fit into those pants.. 

I can't clean with bleach or other harsh toxins..

I can't lift that.. 

I can't eat that.. 

I can't drink that.. 

I can't tie my shoes.. 

I can't take photographs laying on the floor.. 

I can't paint my own toe nails.. 

I can't get comfortable.. 

Mind you I have attempted almost all of these more than once in recent weeks with not much luck. This part of pregnancy is so frustrating! I kept telling myself that if I continued to do some of these things that I could continue to do them throughout and not have to rely on other people. WRONG! 

So if you are expecting and starting to get frustrated remember that it doesn't last forever.  All these things are frustrating and annoying, however you realize how lucky you are to be surrounded by an amazing support system and how lucky you are to be expecting at all.  I wouldn't be able to get through the I cants without my husband, Mom, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Everyone has been more than helpful! 

Trying to turn the I cants into.. I will soon again! 

Here is a little sneak peak of the I Can't get comfortable.. Enjoy!!

Ladies and Gentlemen meet the future of the world cup ;)

Much Love,
