With not much longer to go, I am looking back on this pregnancy and I would summarize it this way... The first trimester I was either sleeping all the time or if I was awake, I was like a mad T-Rex. I never once got sick, although I could hardly drive without getting motion sickness. I showed up to work green every day and Im surprised that time frame didnt lead to a bunch of speeding tickets! I spent most of this time in denial that it was even possible I could have a boy... Ha. Ha. Ha. The second trimester brought mood swings like you wouldnt believe, swollen feet, restless legs, and the worst insomnia Ive ever had. We named our little guy, moved into our home, and got ready for his arrival in between all the back pain and tears. It was still one of the best times of our lives anyway and I am now 100% positive that Andy Miller should be Sainted. The third trimester I finally felt like myself again! My hair got longer, I got used to the big feet, finally learned how to dress this big body of mine, and Ive had all kinds of energy and optimism! And I sleep like a baby! It is fantastic! Im ready and excited and yet now its almost over.... I have so many mixed emotions about the idea that Ill meet him soon. I wonder if I chose the right name, will I be a good mom, will I survive the hospital experience without lifelong emotional trauma, and what will life be like on the other side? What else does God have in store for us as Ace grows? Its just like when I think about heaven and the only words I have are: I can only imagine. I want to say thanks to everyone who has offered emotional support and guidance through this whole experience. So many of you have been there since day one and I appreciate all the advice and love youve given over and over over without getting tired of reminding me. I cannot thank you enough. This little guy is going to have a mom who is more ready for him than she would have been on her own, so I am grateful. Youve gotten me this far, its almost time to celebrate!!! God gives the best gifts on HIS timing and Im blessed more than I deserve. Youre all a part of that. I love you all.
