Up Before the Birds...
We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning. ~ Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)
I swear, there must be an alarm clock implanted in my bladder or something, and said clock is set way too early. I keep waking up really early lately... but this morning it's a lil ridiculous.
So, a glass of ice water and 3 chocolate chip cookies later, I am going back to bed. I was considering to do a Random Ramblings-esque post, but nah. I have an OB appointment this afternoon and I want to be somewhat bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for it. I already know what to expect at this appointment too ~ 2 swabbies and all the usual vital stuff will be done.
Ya know, it is so cool to know what to expect before these appointments. I don't understand how I was kept in the dark about so much information when I was pregnant the first time around. I think I was just too "OMG-I'm-having-a-kid-and-I-dunno-how-to-do-anything" or something. Now, with this pregnancy, I feel a lot more confident and less worried about anything. If you take away the heartburn/indigestion, slight asthma and sporadic-yet-can-be-severe gas/bloating/gut-uproarage ~ I'd say I've had a pretty easy-going pregnancy and it's actually been kinda of fun at times. I was terrified at first, but now I want to hold my lil girl in my arms and gaze into her eyes. I keep trying to picture what she's going to look like... but that just makes me even more anxious for B-Day.
Only 25 more days...
Is it wrong that I feel like I am more excited this time around? I think the first time I was worried about ev-er-y-thing (housing, marriage, finances, etc), so I don't think I even had time to properly get acquainted with the concept of motherhood until it was time to face it. This time, I feel a lil more "seasoned" and I don't feel many qualms about anything anymore. I feel so safe, secure and stable with Jon ~ he is my rock. And I love him dearly. I can't tell him enough how much he means to me, because there just aren't enough words that properly describe my deep and abiding love for him. He rescued me from so much... tangible and abstract monsters that no longer scare me or even exist in my life.
Okay, time to go back to bed and snuggle with Jon instead of all this schmoopy blathering about him! =)
