Is it January yet?

Yeah the aches and pains have really started to hit me hard, lately...I am so ready to not be pregnant anymore. I love having him grow inside me and bonding with him, but man I am over everything else. My pulled groin has not gotten any better, and the doctor said it won't heal until after the baby is born....great. Fatigue is starting to come back again also, not too bad yet, but I do get tired more easily which I know is normal. My belly is always always itching, it is really hard to go to work and do normal things like wear clothing with it itching so bad..grr. Also I am starting to see small stretch marks on my lower abdomen...so sad. I don't know how many i'll get or how bad they will look, I hope it doesn't get any worse. I feel huge and pretty much only feel comfy in Scott's sweatpants, and a few pairs of my pants, everything else it just too tight now. Baby boy seems like he is always all over the place, so even though I feel like he is head down I am not completely sure.
The anxiety of becoming a parent is getting worse too because it is so close now, I am freaking out a bit. I am very unprepared, but I know it is my fault. Hopefully over the next month I can get more mentally prepared, and get our home in order. We have mostly everything we need for at least the first couple weeks, well at least the big stuff. As far as clothing goes I am not sure, I am a new mom so I don't know how many of everything a newborn needs. I also have not idea how big he is going to be..
Poor Scott has been sick the last couple of days, he got sick on Thanksgiving then had to go out of town the next morning for football. Luckily he has two weeks off from football practice, so he can rest a little and focus on school and getting ready for the baby. I am so glad this is his last year of football, having him gone so much really sucks, especially all the out of town weekends.
We are going to be having a very uneventful Christmas this year, my first away from home, I know it is going to be hard but at that point I will probably just want to lay around all day anyway. Scott's parents may come to Utah for Christmas, but at this point nothing is for sure. I had all these intentions of going all out for Christmas and making out home really festive so I wouldn't be as sad, but now I don't know that I will have  the energy to do much..who knows though. Also I have reached my weight gain limit, or what I wanted to gain, so as far as holiday treats go I am going to try to not indulge very much, I have already done way too much of that throughout this pregnancy, and it shows...lol.
Anyway this post probably just seems like me mostly complaining so sorry about that. My hormones are everywhere so some days I do feel really down about everything, and worried about becoming a parent. I am really thankful for this opportunity that Scott and I have to become parents, and I can't wait to meet and hold the little guy. Less than 8 weeks!
