Yesterday was fantastic. It was a luxury of a day that I wish for all new parents to be- Damon and I had a nice lunch and went to Barnes and Noble to spend some gift cards. We took our time and simply relaxed. It was a GREAT GREAT day.
Yesterday, I was pretty much nerve free. Today is a completely different story. I can feel my heart in my throat. I am having some cramps and occasional contractions; I am hoping that is my body saying "Systems are fully functional, Birth is a GO." I have been visualizing my baby moving down and my body opening up so she can come out safely. She and I have been talking about what is to come.
However, I am feeling some melancholy. Of course I am excited about meeting my baby and holding her in my arms, but I am anxious about birth, and a bit sad that my time to carry her is almost over. I have become accustomed to her squiggles and kicks, I have come to love my swollen belly- I have had a constant companion and confidant...
Of course, now my stomach has become quite heavy, and I am really looking forward to not needing insulin anymore- And I cannot complain, the "light" at the end of the tunnel is my sweet baby girl!!! I just have to get through the next 9 hours. I am going to do a little laundry, take a nap, and enjoy a nice hot bath just before heading out to the hospital. I think being relaxed is the key here.
