Reflecting back on pregnancy...

Well this pregnancy has been so long, but then again I think about it and 9 months is a long time. I am going to miss feeling baby kicks inside of my belly...and into my ribs :( It is such a great feeling that cannot be explained. I am glad that morning sickness subsided a while ago and I have enjoyed that last little bit of pregnancy. I have just been extremely exhausted. That is what I get for still working 50 hour weeks. The most exciting thing is that we are ready for the baby to come. We have everything ready to bring this baby into the world, except my suitcase packed and the babies stuff put together to go to the hospital. We need some more clothes and diapers and bath stuff, but other than that we are so ready. It is getting to the point that I cannot sleep and my belly is stretching out more and more all the time. Then I have to get up twice a night to go the bathroom. Then I got through these hot flashes that are worse than anything. I froze Ben out last night, and he never freezes. It was sad. I also have these nightmares that are so scary and some that are so sad. I don't like that part. I can go on for a while, but that is boring.

So all in all I am going to miss some aspects of being pregnant, but it will be so good to have that sweet little boy here to kiss his cheeks, and love, and see his personality develop. I have always dreamed of being a mother and now my dream is coming true. Pregnancy is truly a miracle. All the elements that go into forming a person that is like me from two separate people is amazing. That power is so wonderful.
