Through all of this the one thing I have learned is there is purpose behind EVERYTHING I experience in pregnancy. I have become more clumsy because there is a hormone that softens the joints in order to make it possible for my little man to be born which also makes my finger joints not be able to hold onto small objects. I have decided that this final stage has the purpose of being difficult so no matter what my child looks like or acts like I will just be grateful he is no longer taking residency in my body. After he is born I will no longer mind so much waking up several times in the night because the sleep I will get will be peacefully on my stomach.
Pregnancy is the most fascinating experience I have ever had. I have loved being able to experience this. I would wish that ever woman who ever desired to would one day be able to experience God's greatest creations. This has been an amazing adventure and although I only have about 6 more weeks left I am sure there are a few more twists and turns to experience.
Before (when I was cute)
and After (obviously pregnant)
I think you look wonderful but I know how you feel. The last little bit of pregnancy is really draining and you just can't wait to have your body back. Good luck with the next couple of weeks. I hope they fly by! Oh yeah I hope the gift I got you made it down there with John! Love Ya!!
ReplyDeleteYou're still cute! and I like your song choice for the blog. I haven't hit the 2nd stage yet. I still feel like crap most all of the time and poor Robert is probably ready to ship me back to my parents. I told myself I'd never be a complainer, but it gets harder not to complain each day. Thanks for being a good example.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? You are still cute! My 2nd stage I got over the naseau, but I never had energy with Morgan and I have even less energy with this little guy. I have a little something for Brigham, so once finals are over maybe I could stop by when you guys aren't too busy and bring it by.
ReplyDeleteStill cute!
ReplyDeleteYep, still cute! But yes, the last few weeks will be long and hard - just saying it like it is. You'll be oh so thankful to get your body back, however soft and changed it may be. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful! I do recall vividly that last stage--especially the last few weeks. None of my cutest clothes fit anymore, which didn't help.
ReplyDeletehaha You're too funny! I think you're cute in both pictures, and I've always been told that the end is horrible just so you're ok with going through childbirth. :) Yes, read my blog! However, umm...I haven't updated it in a long long time!
