Little Bitch Session

First let me say that I love being pregnant. It is such a joy to see my belly growing bigger and to feel the little peanut growing inside of me. That said - this is getting a little hard. I have carpal tunnel in both my wrists and hands with my right hand being the worst. My belly is getting so big that movement is difficult and finding a comfortable position is next to impossible. Sleep is a challange with my hips getting achy and my hands going numb which requires frequent changes of position but changing from lying on one side to lying on the other is like trying to turn the Queen Mary around in a bathtub. And the pillows I have between my knees and under my belly and head all need to get turned as well. I try to organize the turning with the 3-4 trips I make to the bathroom a night but that doesn't always work. I have enough energy to actively participate in life for a half of a day at a time before I begin to respond like a zombie and then crash like I have been up for days. I try to limit my nap to an hour and a half so I have some hope of deeper sleep at night but I think maybe I should give this up. But nothing is as pleasantly reasuring as my mom in law and mom telling me that it is only going to get worse. Six more weeks. Six more weeks that will last for an eternity and a mear instant simultainiously.

Ok so that is my bitch. Again let me remind you how incredible it all is at the same time. I am so grateful for the life that I have today and the promise of new life within me. Aaron and I are terrified and so excited to meet the little pea and welcome him to his new world. I hope he finds it as full of wonder as I do.
