How are you feeling?

That is the most common question I've been asked these past few weeks now that I can't hide the baby in my belly anymore. The second comment I've gotten is "Wow, you are sure blossoming." That's a nice way so say I'm getting fat. LOL.
I really don't know how to answer the question. I'm not sick like I was, but I'm certainly not feeling WONDERFUL! I guess I can't complain too much. I just have the usual aches and pains of being 5.5 months pregnant. I just keep telling myself that I never have to feel this way again. This is it. When I voice that of course I have those naysayers who ask me if I'm sure. Umm. . . yeah, I'm sure. I doubt I can go through this again even if I wanted to which I don't.
Perhaps my greatest wish is to regain my patience. I have a low patience and tolerance level when I'm in pain. Not that I'm in horrific pain - just that subtle, I'm not comfortable constant pain that leaves me with little energy to deal with too much especially anything that requires me to lift, bend or walk very far or fast. This too shall pass. Someday I'll be super mom again.
I must say though the kids were better behaved at church today than they have been in a while. For that I have to be grateful. There was a young father sitting in front of us with his 3 yr old son who kept howling during the bishop's talk depsite his father's attempts to get him to hush. Jessica and I just had to give an empathy chuckle.
