The waiting game

37 weeks! I haven't posted since the first trimester, and our little boy is growing very well. He's so cute, I love watching him move. First tri I said it was hard because I couldn't complain. Well, pregnancy is awful--the only part I like is watching/feeling him kick. I am sick of all the crazy weird symptoms of pregnancy and am very much looking forward to little baby's arrival. I wrote this after struggling with discomfort trying to fall asleep few nights ago: After a lifetime of yearning for children and a dearly desired pregnancy full of pains, I feared labor--the ultimate pain but the only pain for a purpose. Labor is like those dreaded moments after opening your heart to your lover and saying "I love you" one beat, two beats, a loud throbbing rush of crushing silence and yet it is but a moment and you know he loves you too even if doesn't have the words to say it. And this I write, unable to sleep and immensely uncomfortable; having never been there, we shall see.
