Musings of an Expectant Mom

My pregnancy will be 36 weeks this coming Wednesday. I will be visiting my doctor on March 2 for my internal exam. More than being scared, I am more than excited to become a Mom. I can't wait for my baby to come out. And I think, neither does she. Baby is getting heavier every minute! :-)

Anyway, honestly, it is becoming very difficult. The weight of the baby is bearing on my lower back, thighs, lower abdomen, legs and pubic area. I get cramps, pains, aches, whatever every day. And it is getting very difficult to sleep and even breathe.

I just console myself that soon we will be holding our baby and all that will just vanish. I know, there will be a different amount of difficult afterwards, but at least other people can share in the work of taking care of the baby, like our families. While now, I have to endure the changes inside me.

I am psyching up myself to breastfeed the baby and I am praying that when she latches on to me the first time, she will have milk from me.

So excited already. Please help us pray for effortless delivery. Thank you all! :-)
