Life as I know it has changed from what I've been familiar with for the past 28 years. There's the ups and downs, joys and worries. Here's a window into my life:
Dressing in the morning is easy now that I can only fit into 2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of capris (which I can't wear since it's been so cold), 2 sweatshirts, 2 work sweaters, and a handful of shirts.
Everyday MUST involve a nap (regardless of what I need to do for that day).
I can't see my feet anymore. And forget about putting on shoes. I can hardly slip on my shoes for work. When will the weather warm up enough so I can live in sandals and not have to worry about this anymore???
My diet is a list of "can't haves." I can't have Diet Coke, turkey sandwiches, alcohol, beef, dairy, soy, fish...... After all these "can't haves," I'm often left frustrated and with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Boo!!!
I have to worry about counting kicks now. Is he kicking enough? Is he kicking hard enough? He had an active day yesterday and today is quiet. Is this normal??? God says not to worry but that's impossible when you're pregnant.
And now my anemia is becoming an issue again.
With all these worries, I just want him here, happy and healthy. Until then, I trust in the Lord. My life and the life of my baby boy are in his hands.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart." Proverbs 3:5
