Random Pregnancy Thoughts

Random Pregnancy Thoughts :

This belly has become a catch all for food. Today – dripped oatmeal on myself. Yesterday – lost a white yogurt raisin somewhere in between my scarf and my belly. Realized it when I work up and it rolled across the floor. How nice.

Meltdowns are going to happen. Just roll with it. So far, they haven’t been that bad {well, depends on who you ask I guess} and have had either to do with me being hungry or just making a big deal out of nothing. Much to Chris’ benefit both have been in public and pretty much directed at him. Isn’t he lucky? He is amazing and just reminds me it’s not worth getting worked up about and then tries to find the solution. Both times there have been one, I was just too upset about getting emotional in the first place and being that erratic prego lady that I don’t want to be to find them. He is going to be a champ to have beside me while I am in labor, I just know it. Shoutout to a supportive hubby – couldn’t do this without you {well and woudn’t be here without you, either, HA!}

People love to tell you how big you have gotten. Thank you – as if I haven’t noticed my feet slowly start to disappear and my skin stretch more and more each day to make room for this sweet child. Instead of telling me how big I am, then asking me how much longer I have until he gets here, how about you just tell me something nice or don’t say anything at all? Nice things that people say quickly overtake the crazy – so it does make a difference. I can probably make a list of the wonderful things people have said to me that I remind myself of on a daily basis and it’s sad that those words are fewer than the others people say. Note to self – be nice to pregos in the future.

I am tired of people asking me if I am ready for him yet. No, I am not. And do you want to know why? Because after having a niece born too early and staying in the NICU nearly 5 weeks I understand the importance of letting them come when it is time and allowing them to cook as long as they need. So, do I look forward to his arrival? Of course! Am I ready for him to be here? No way!

There is absolutely nothing more amazing then feeling your sweet little baby roll around in your belly all day. If you have ever experienced this you will agree. If you have not, I pray you will one day when God’s timing is totally perfect for your life. I hate that dads don’t get to be a part of this since it is partly their creation as well. To think how small he was just a few months ago and how much he is growing each day just amazes me. He has tiny little fingernails, pretty little lips, and a face I just can’t wait to kiss all over. God’s works are wonderful, I know that fully well!
