So we have 1 more week until 9 month officially happens. Things are starting to wrap up so I thought I would do a bit of reflection while it's quiet around the house.
Last night as I was getting ready for bed I thought to myself something that I would NEVER think would happen. The past 1-2 months I have been in such pain in my lower extremities that I just dreaded the time I was being pregnant. I couldn't wait to Jack to be out and me to be pain free.
Well over the course of the past two weeks he has dropped, and I'm able to be a little more comfortable sitting up, breath easier and last but not least, last night was the first time I could really walk with comfort, without shooting pains, without a facial expression that I wanted to die, without making noises every time I moved. I believe that once he dropped he took pressure off the parts that we in such pain and I'm VERY VERY THANKFUL! So now, I can actually be somewhat normal again. Granted I'm still healing so I have a little bit of tenderness but it's 95% better than it was. Ahhh.....I told Sean I was so excited that my pains were going away and he said he could tell. I had so much more energy, and I've actually started walking again and additionally am planning to do a 5k and Sena a 10k in the fall for exercise motivation.
So with that said and the background given as to my next statement, I can't believe that things are slowly coming to an end. I thought I would never be saying that. I actually thought "Wow things are going to get a little crazy here in the next few weeks, and are no longer going to pindrop quiet, and our lives are forever going to be changed." Kind of crazy!
Yesterday additionally Sean and I were reflecting upon our relationship (he's going to be 28 this week) and I commented that "Wow, I've known you since you were 18." Sean comes back with "We've met, dated, got married, purchased a house, and now have a baby just around the corner all in 10 years." It's all pretty amazing if you think about it in that terms.
What else have I been thinking about...Well the time spent in this pregnancy overall seems to have just flown by. I can't believe that we have been through everything and now in just a few short days/weeks out little man will be here for all to enjoy and see what he actually looks, like, smells like and feels like. Everything is in place for his arrival and now it's just a waiting period.
Well, just a few more pregnancy blog updates and then we'll be posting photos of our Jack for all to see. Until then, take care!
