Rob and I went to dinner last night to celebrate my being a baby house (that's what he now calls me.) On the way home we were talking and realized that its been more than a year since my last seizure. This is the longest I've ever gone. When I was first diagnosed the doctors said that if I made it a year, they would talk about taking me off medications and that I might no longer have seizures since the type of epilepsy iss one where I am supposed to grow out of it. My fingers are crossed.
So the end of pregnancy is for the fuckin birds. I'm sure plenty of you out there know this. There's nothing to say but that you're sick of being pregnant. You're a little sick of the sweet smiles and knowing looks from strangers. You're just all over sick of it. You're spectacularly sick of the: when's your due date how far are you are you having a boy or a girl I bet you're sick of this what hospital are you going to, conversations. You miss when people used to ask about the soccer game you played or the book you're reading. You're sick of swollen handsfeetfaceneckanklesEVERYTHING. Oh and from the beginning of pregnancy until FRIDAY, I had NO stretch marks. Friday my entire lower abdomen erupted into one. giant. stretch mark. So all weekend, I thought, please let this be over soon. Every cramp I felt I welcomed and thought, "whatever work my body does now, it doesn't have to do during labor." Little did I know how much
Eeeeeeeeeee! You're a baby house! I can't wait. Oooh, can I name the baby? Can I? Wow, great idea, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous news..
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling, anyway? I know you asked if we could go to burger night (tonight?) but I keep totally spacing out asking Brad cuz I haven't really seen him. This is good because at least he is WORKING!! And I have had shit going on at night so have not been home at all. Anyway, enough excuses. I will call him today and ask if you guys are still going.
Hope all goes well with you.
