I've heard rumors of women who said they loved being pregnant. I have to admit that I've had one or two days that I've felt like maybe I can be ok with the feeling of being pregnant, but love, no. And those days are probably ones where I had forgotten that I was pregnant.
I'm just under a month to go, and all of those other things that I've heard of are starting to happen. I can't sleep, my hips hurt, my back hurts, it hurts to sit-stand-lay down. My maternity clothes are all getting very tight. It feels like baby has found a playground around my ribs and diaphragm. When there is movement, I feel it all the way to my toes. I can't eat much, and I don't care to cook. And I have rapid swings between nesting and napping.
Jon and I have come closer to the realization of reality- we are having a baby, and we love her very much already. That has been comforting. To have Jon as my partner in this adventure makes me feel more secure and more ready. We can't wait to meet her. Will she have dark hair, light hair, a big nose, long eyelashes. We will know very soon. Meanwhile, the nesting and napping will continue. I am washing clothes and trying to fold them, but they are so tiny.
