Just being honest

After all that bragging about how easy my pregnancy has been...

it's starting to be for the birds.

I've been really hot. It hasn't helped that my air conditioner was broken. I suggest you call before coming visit me since I'm liable to not have any clothes on.

The other day my feet were so swollen that I didn't even recognize them. Andrew gave me a cold towel from the freezer. It was heaven. Miraculously, my feet are back to normal.

In other misery, I believe that I have developed restless leg syndrome or a form of it in my late pregnancy days. It's the most annoying. I really think John Henry is hitting some nerve. Andrew rubs my legs, and I feel better.

Last week I thought my son was a child fetal prodigy. He was kicking me to a beat. But what was so odd was that there was no beat outside the womb; no music. Andrew and I were just talking. After a brief moment of gloating on how musically inclined my son was, I realized he was just hiccuping. Well that explains it...

I do not have any pictures of my journey these past few weeks. No special moments, no beautiful new sites or insights. Just garage sales, burp cloth organization, detergent, and Lysol.

But can I just say the time I'm having with garage sales have been the highlight of my summer. $.10 for baby toys! Woohoo! My last year-self would be highly disappointed in the pathetic turn of events.

Andrew has been impressed because I really didn't start complaining until the 34th week of pregnancy. 34 weeks is a long time not to complain. All in all, I have been blessed. Except people keep asking me how I'm feeling. I don't think they really want to know an answer though. They're just being nice. I say I'm fine, which I am. Except my air can not go out on me again because then, I won't be fine.

So there. That's the recap of my latest days as a pregnant lady. Exciting, huh? This is a season that I'm in. Preparing for baby. It's special, if you think about it. I'm preparing to be a momma. From the outside world, my days are simple. But in my heart, there's lots going on. Excitement and anxiety. That's to be understood.

I do feel a little checked-out from the world. That may not be such a bad thing. I know my world is about to turn upside down. I'm getting ready for all of that and enjoying my time preparing. Meanwhile, I should probably go clean something.
