Can't see my toes.

I can't see my toes
Can't shave my legs
Can't breathe
Can't sleep
CAN pee...multiple times.
Have heartburn
Flip pillows from one side to the other...all night.
Am emotional
Super tired
On Iron
Therefore constipated.
Always thirsty...
But that = 's more peeing.
Stuffy nose
Back pain
blah blah blah...

but still SO happy to be pregnant
and
grateful
and
blessed.
And can't wait
to meet this little guy
and watch my kids get to know him.
And watch my husband hold him
and fold his little onesies
and change his poopie diapers
and feed him
and burp him
and hold him
and kiss him
and smell him
and fall in love with him.

then I will forget all that I did not enjoy...
I always do.

SO worth it.

I dont know why, but that picture makes me get the shivvers. haha But I agree with what you said. As scared as I am to battle on 5 kids, I am STARTING to get really excited about it. I was looking at baby pictures of my boys and I got all giddy and excited wondering "what will he look like!! Who will he resemble!" then I remembered, none of my kids can really pass for siblings =( hahaha but they are all mine =)

Look at that sweet little foot! My heavens, I think he'll be a basketball star. And I called it first! In uteri!

Have a very easy final 40!

No no no. That isn't my belly. I found that picture online. Sorry, thought everyone had seen that picture before :). Should have clarified. Thx for the nice comments!

hahahahahahahahaha I first saw that picture a few years ago, and Jake thought it was "too alien like" haha It is a "sweet" picture, but is it really REAL?

it is a bit alien-like but isn't it so precious too? that tiny bit of life trying to make room for himself inside there? i love it. and the belly-momma has no stretch marks. dang her. :) good genes.

You are so right about pregnancy being miserable (especially the last few weeks!), but being SO worth it. It is amazing to me that there is love enough to go around. Before the baby comes, I always wonder how on earth I could love anyone else as much as I do the kids I already have and then, magically, the baby arrives and I love him or her as much as the others. Instantly. It is all so miraculous. You are a great mom and this little baby boy is privileged to come to your family.
