the joys.
wired. my brain is going a million miles a second - and I'm all jittery. unfortunately I am completely unmotivated to actually do anything... and the heart burn that accompanies the jitters is disgustingly painful. who would have thought after 7 months of being coffee free - one cup would do this much damage. I wonder what it will be like once the baby is here, and I relax for a bit with a cold one. end up on the floor, no doubt. it's incredible what your body goes through to reproduce - what sacrifices (and beer and coffee are HUGE sacrifices) we make to make sure the fetus has a safe and pleasant ride through. leg cramps, morning sickness, stretch marks, heart burn, weakened bladder, migraines, braxton hicks, restless nights and discomfort aside - I really do love being pregnant. There is nothing in this world like it, and I'll never experience the same pregnancy twice. 25 months pregnant, 36 hours of labour, 30 months of breastfeeding combined so far - and I wouldn't have it any other way.

You're simply fabulous. Being pregnant is the biggest sacrifice as well as the most incredible experience.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I finally allowed myself to drink a glas of Coke after seven months pregnancy: my daughter instantly started to bounce in my belly. One cup of coffee once in a while is not harmful.
