Yes, folks, I’m still here. Still pregnant. Still quite miserable, thank you very much. I’m assured this cannot last much longer. A week seems like an eternity right now, but each day has to be one less before I meet this baby. At least that is what I keep trying to remind myself.
And with that, I’m off to hibernate some more. Because the questions I get from perfect strangers assure me that I’m really as huge as I feel. One lovely little child asked me what the baby is doing. I told her the truth. Baby’s growing. I spared her any of the uncomfortable details of how I know this. She’d be scarred for life and I’m certain her mother would love to be a grandmother some day and wouldn’t thank me for ruining any chance of that.
Been thinking of you! We’ll be praying everything goes smoothly with your homebirth!
You may be tired but you still look lovely. It amazes me that you make pregnancy, not to mention raising five children, look so effortless.
I’m sure the little one will get here in God’s perfect timing. Praying that you are able to rest prior to the momentous occasion.
