And so it begins, a little bit of everything all at once.
I am exhausted, not tired..exhausted..As any women in my shoes feels, caring for two small children and almost six months pregnant while working, well...this can really take alot out of you. There are nights when I literally cannot lift my arms or get myself to the bedroom. Where I land is where I remain for the evening..A few minor ailments have also surfaced. For one, my legs and feet go numb regurarly. If I sit too long, if I am on my feet too long, if I cross my legs, no matter what position I am in a tingling sensation comes first followed by pins and needles all the way down to my feet...Every step is also a little more painful as the baby is sitting very low. With all of this, I think back to the day we found out I was expecting, the first time I saw my baby, and the daily ritual of listening to such a sweet heartbeat..
I smile.
To keep me motivated I shop..I have already purchased the bedding, diaper stacker, mobile and pillows...you can take a peek here:
I envisison painting the top half of the walls a greyish blue and the bottom half a brown...Oh, I cannot wait to begin the nursery! I have also bought sleepers, blankets, his coming home outfit and a few odds and ends...shopping for a baby boy isn't that bad at all...
So it begins...the pregnancy aches and pains...the joy of the first purchases...and the never ending ache in my heart to hold this precious baby....
Oh my, you are nearing the home stretch! It is exhausting. Sounds like you're doing what your body is asking of you...resting when you can! Love your new bedding and yes, all those little baby boy things sure are fun. :) I had some of that numbing stuff too. Mostly in my wrist and hand, I think it was numb for 5 months. My foot was also numb but not as bad so I feel for you. Looking back it all seems like a blur, kind of like China, right? He will be here before you know it! Thinking of you, take care!
