Life is a very interesting thing. We change and evolve and grow and experience and all we can do is be open for it. B/c I have a huge belly everywhere I go people ask me when I'm due and how I'm doing and the sex of the baby and everything. The attention is focused solely on me and its great. I pretty much can ask for anything and I will get it. But soon enough, the focus will be off me and on my child. Suddenly my world will change and my priorities. Its a natural, biological thing. The next generation will start with no knowledge of what it was like to live in the 20th century, no knowledge of pre-computer days, no knowledge of pretty much everything I've grown up with. He will be a baby of the 21st century and will g-d willing live to the 22nd long after I am gone.
So I think as I get close to having my first son, I just am nostalgic. I am starting my family and working my way down the path of life. I saw his feet and his toes and fingers in the ultrasound today and g-d willing thats all mine in 16 days. All those toes and those fingers I will spend the rest of my life worrying and wondering about.
I watched a labor and delivery video last night complete w/labor intensity in those infamous pre-epidural days.. and it didn't deter me or scare me, it made me even more excited that my little boy is coming. I just can't wait for him to be in my life. I run across of alot of single mothers (not really by choice) and they talk about how hard it is.. But I think really there is a difference btwn single mothers by CHOICE and single mothers who didn't think they would end up that way.
In terms of symptoms I am monitoring my blood pressure each night with my home blood pressure monitor and taking my meds accordingly. I have minimal salts. I get tired easy when standing. I walk each night around my block several times, but otherwise I am jazzin :)
I AM READY FOR BEBE!
