Friday February 11, 2011 Blessing #280
Got home today and Trey was already there! It was fabulous. Finally--he's been in the country since Monday, but I feel like we have hardly spoken. I am thrilled to have a little down time with him--to watch him play and relax with the kids, and to have time to sit by him and enjoy having him close.
I just finished my 35th week of pregnancy. I pee all the time. At the end of the day my feet and ankles are swollen. Henslee feels like the biggest baby ever--and I'm tired b/c every night I'm up every 2 hours to change position, potty, or respond to one of her epically uncomfortable squirming episodes. I don't know how to describe it, but she is so low and she is touching me in places I am not supposed to be touched. There is an involuntary squeamish reaction on my part--sort of like when I hear nails on a chalkboard.
Anyway, despite all this I love being pregnant! I am not ready for it to be over-I'm not ready to share her, and I'm not ready to carry out my days with a newborn in tow. As uncomfortable as I'm becoming-I know it is easier to be pregnant than it is to have an infant. I also know that I will grieve for pregnancy when it is over--so I'm resolved to enjoy every single irritating symptom. I am a lucky woman to be able to carry a baby. When it hurts--that's what I have to remember.
