Nearing potential for death by over-consumption of cheese twisties. 36 weeks and 2 days pregnant and i cannot stop eating twisties (not that i have actually tried to stop eating them). I don't call it a 'craving' i just want them and that's okay.
My pregnant belly... has an 'outtie' belly button, a light coating of blond hair and the remnants of a European wasp sting from a few weeks ago (just south of a freckle). It is hard to comprehend that there is a whole person just chilling out inside there. I am too much a realist to be quoted saying that pregnancy and childbirth are beautiful and miraculous but it is an unfathomable feeling of accomplishment to know that your body can build and give life. A feeling that only comes over you in a wave when your own newborn baby looks into your eyes for the first time and you question how you can love someone so much that you have only just met.
Dear baby, i cannot wait to meet you and breathe in that beautiful freshness of newborn baby. I cannot wait for you to stop using my ribcage as a xylophone and getting the hiccups just as i lay down to go to bed. Most of all i cannot wait to have you here, in our arms and to meet your big sister who i know is going to simply adore you (in her own special way). Whenever you are ready is fine by me (as long as it's not past your due date)... See you soon!
Cheese twisties = yum, and I don't have the excuse of pregnancy cravings! How exciting to have a new baby to look forward to!
