I had intended to write a blog evicting my little baby from my womb that he has been inhabiting for the past 10 months. I had intended to write a very funny blog depicting all of the crazy things that have happened to my body during pregnancy. It was my very intention to jokingly evict the baby from my womb for destruction of property and loss of sleep.
However....
The words would just not spill.. I found this odd since I knew exactly what I wanted to write about and how I wanted it to sound. I blamed it on my pregnant scattered brain and then I realized it wasn't my pregnant brain afterall.
I was having trouble writing, because it wasn't the truth....
It is true that the baby has caused some destruction of property. My stomach looks like shattered glass, I have so many stretch marks. Nearly nothing fits anymore but my comfy pj bottoms and tank tops. My nose is puffy, I never sleep well and I have got the stinkiest gas ever......but I love it. Not the gas, the pregnancy.
The real truth is...
I love being pregnant. I love my big, huge, over-stretched belly with all it's remarkable marks. I like washing it and smearing cocoa butter (which didn't seem to help one bit) all over it. Mostly, I love watching baby tv on it. I love gazing down at my giant orb and watching my babies little feet move from one side to the other. I love cupping his tiny bum in my hand, rubbing his back and feeling his little baby arms move around. I don't love the hiccups; but they still make me smile. I like poking his toes.
Yes, it's a bummer to wear the same stuff day in and day out. I'd love some cute new jeans or fun flirty dresses...wait I have those things...and they will fit again...eventually.
Lastly, I have my whole life to sleep, sleep is over rated.
So dear baby as much as I wanted to evict you from your little baby space because I thought it would be funny; I really don't mind if you want to stay just awhile longer.
Because the truth is I am really going to miss being pregant....
awww, you are so cute, love you! I still want him out NOW! Lol...no, really just when he's ready :O)
ReplyDeleteCute, and very well put! I never thought I would miss being pregnant, but there is just something special about being with child. Its the feeling that your never alone and that no one else on this earth will ever share that special bond between you and your baby. It's the miracle of the baby being inside of you and that your are totally responsible for its well-being.
ReplyDeleteWhat you have helped to create is truley a blessing and you and Matt will be great parents. I wish you both all of the happiness and joy that only a parent knows...

That was beautiful Misty! Experiencing pregnancy, labor, and motherhood is truly remarkable, even at it's most painful and challenging moments. Praying you enjoy the last few days of pregnancy and have a wonderful birth experience.
