Everybody's is different, and I'm told that the same woman can have two totally different pregnancies. I'm sorry things have been rough for you. Being preggers is, in general, really cool and really a pain in the ass at the same time. Hang in there! (And tell Rich to hang in there too - dads-to-be really are saints for putting up with hormonal craziness. Ask Kevin.)

I want to tell you to hang in there because it will change and get better which is cliched and probably not terribly comforting, but also true. I don't want to offer up anymore potential lies :) - but I can tell you that for me, sex got a lot better after I had my kids. I ended up with a certain awe and respect for what my body can do which translated into a new level of enjoyment in sex (which I already enjoyed. It just became extra fun.) I also want to tell you this is a beautiful, real life love letter. Those last two sentences? That's what it's all about.
