I Can Do This

It's not like I really have an option here, but those are the words I repeat to myself daily following my little prayer.
I am 6 weeks away from my delivery date and I really thought I was going to be tougher than this.  I thought I would live my life until it was time to deliver this baby with no hiccups, no insomnia, no miserably sore back, no swelling, no exhaustion, no shortness of breath, no set backs from my daily life.  HA!  I seriously was that naive/had that much of a Super Woman ego.
Turns out I'm just a human.  I have been all of those things and most recently, all of those things at the same time.  My work outs have become minimal (last week was told to stop them completely) and my sleep patterns have gotten more strange than ever.  Last week I had to go home early due to dizziness and just plain old tiredness.  There are worse things in pregnancy.  I have heard of them.  I guess I just thought I would be immune.  Pregnancy for the win.
This week i am very excited to go back to the doctor.  I have not seen this little boy since November and I get my chance again on Thursday. A fellow mother-to-be informed me in the waiting area this last visit that they will do the 4D ultra sound this time.  Might I get to see his FACE?!  So exciting!
Until then I will push through, and after that I will do the same.  THe next major feat will be move-in for the rodeo.  That's right, we take over the complex 2 weeks from today.  THat may be so adventure filled I will forget all about my general aches/ailments until he is born...I'm sure that will be another "HA" in the face.

I will now stop with the petty complaints every woman goes through to see their little miracle.
I remember how blessed I am to have these ailments/discomforts and I can see the finish line!
