I am on the home stretch! Only 12 days left, and I find myself filled with mixed emotions. I am so anxious. I have to admit that a big part of me is just ready to get her out of there! We are running out of room on the womb and the last few weeks have been very uncomfortable. I spend most nights running back and forth to the bathroom because she has dropped and is not resting casually on my bladder. When I am not in the bathroom I am battling a serious case of heartburn; clearly I am not sleeping much.
On the other hand, I am sad to think that this part is almost over. I am sad that in just a matter of days I am going to have to let other people hold her. I will be sharing her with the world. I don't know how I will feel about that. I was just telling Jaime the other night that I can totally understand how women suffer from postpartum depression. Just the thought of her not being inside of me makes me sad. We have been so close for all this time; she has been all mine. She and I have an understanding, a language. At this rate I will never be able to let her go off to college, I'll miss her too much!
That being said; I can't wait to see her face. I am so excited to smell her neck and snuggle her. I have a good feeling we are going to have lots of time to share even once she is on the outside. I am pretty sure the bond we feel now can only get stronger.
Come on Maggie; let's get to it!
XOXO
Remember honey, you were late. Hugs, mom
