A Day Like Today
On a day like today I feel like I am "over" being pregnant.
Today is a day when I am sick (again) and clutching a box of Kleenex.
I moaned as I tossed and turned in bed last night, unable to sleep with a stuffy head and sore throat. I ate just under 4,000 oranges yesterday in an effort to be rid of this nasty head cold and flu.
I drank tea with honey and lemon...
I put heating pads on my sore back...
and all while thinking of my baby.
Somehow you stay tucked away inside, perhaps even unphased by how ill I am.
And normally I would panic that my illnesses are making you equally sick, but thanks to the web it seems I am not the only mom-in-training to be sick... a LOT.
On days like today I wonder whether you will arrive early or past your due date.
I am somehow convinced that you will come early, mainly because I just can't imagine my belly getting much more ginormous than it already is.
Bending down has become a chore.
I have officially started to waddle a bit.
I sleep with each and every pillow I can grab-
Which doesn't leave many for daddy.
But every Sunday morning I celebrate a little-
On a Sunday like yesterday when I am officially at another full week of pregnancy.
Yesterday we turned 29 weeks.
No halfsies, just the full 29.
And every week I know that you are that much stronger and ready to meet the world.
So on a day like today I already look forward to our next Sunday celebration.
