38 Weeks

Aug 13, 2008 09:42

 38 weeks and baby is full term! Of course, now that we welcome him (or her) anytime, she/he is very content to hang out. I have less contractions than a few weeks ago.

This week I am humbled by the strength I underestimated. My body is doing such an amazing job on this journey. And that is one of the surprises of CMT- I never know what will happen next. My anxieties about progression and misery have been unfounded. My body's internal knowing of how to prioritize, how to grow this new life, leaves me in awe. Even with flawed genetic programming, I am a warrior after all :)

Of course, I must rest a lot. I must meet the challenges with compassion. I am not sailing through. I have aches and fatigue. But nothing like I feared. Miracles happen every day.

Baby can come soon, though. Please?
