3rd Trimester- Already?
Wow- The old saying, "time flies when you're having fun," totally applies to my pregnancy more than I ever imagined possible. First I must admit that I never realized how much I would enjoy being pregnant. I thought it was going to be miserable the whole time, or that I'd always be scared and nervous hence causing misery, but I really have loved about 95% of this so far. If it wasn't for my already sensitive sciatic nerve, then that percentage would be 100. :) But since walking, standing, and sleeping are sometimes pretty uncomfortable, I had to take 5% off. Haha. Anyway, back to what I was saying, time flies. Like how I still feel the nervous excitement from the moment I saw the two blue lines appear- seems like yesterday! I can replay that moment in my head, followed immediately by the moment I told Craig, as if it was being replayed on my DVR. But that was way back on August 5. How have I already made it through two-thirds of this journey to motherhood? How is it possible to have only 3 months left!? That's right- 3 more months. Today is January 11. Hollis is due April 11. CRAZY!!! So as I sit here, watching my belly move around, typing on my laptop that fits less and less on my lap every week, I keep repeating that old saying in my head. Time flies when you're having fun. Does it happen that way so that we value that precious time even more? Is it God's way of reminding us to count our blessings? I don't know, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I love my life. I love my husband. I love that our parents couldn't be more excited to become grandparents. I love this miracle inside (even when he's acting like he is training for an international kickboxing championship). I love my smooshed belly button. I love my friends who have been an endless sea of comfort, support, and advice. :) So I'll leave it at that tonight. I better go, before even more time flies by.
