After a painful nights sleep, on this 24 November 2011, I am grateful to be pregnant.
This has not been a particularly fun pregnancy and as usual the more pregnant I get the more painful it becomes. I find myself dreading sleep because it is just so painful to lay there on my hips and no number of pillows makes a real difference. I have constant heartburn and feel like I am suffocating half of the day. I am exhausted all the time and feel guilty for not getting out and doing more with my Freddy boy.
With that said, I am still so grateful to be pregnant. This pregnancy did not come easy. I wanted this baby for so long and now that I finally have him warm and safe and wiggling inside of me I *almost* never want this pregnancy to end. Despite my aching back, the stinging in my hips, the heartburn (OH THE HEARTBURN), the sleepless nights and complete lack of energy, and all the contractions.....I am so happy to be pregnant. I am so thankful to be able to create this life, carry him and give birth to him in the coming weeks. I am eternally grateful to be the mother of this child.
Today, I am very grateful to be pregnant.
