exhausted and exhilarated
I am at the point of exhaustion yet I feel exhilarated. We have officially entered the home stretch of this bout of childbearing and things are progressing smoothly. I feel very fortunate that (thus far) both of our pregnancies have been problem free. I do have the normal complaints that any woman in her third trimester might claim such as ‘I feel huge’, ‘There’s no room’, & ‘How will I make it?’. I feel bigger than I did at this stage with Lucas, but as they say every pregnancy is different. So here I am trying to enjoy what remains of this part of the journey before everything gets tumbled and rearranged when we will welcome this new life into the world.
As far as enjoying this time, we are in a flurry of activity getting CasaWeX into tip-top shape to accommodate another resident. Our house is small and we love it that way plus we live so close to Mom and Dad. We are energized by our proximity to one another, so moving is not really an option. Instead we have to make our casita more efficient. Within the next two weeks we are having some work done to the house to make the children’s room more of the hub of the house. Guess who is coordinating all the contractors? That’s right. Moi. I am not one of those super-outgoing personalities, but I have managed to bring forth my getting-things-done spirit and have arranged the work. My hope is to have the room ready to go at least a month before the due date. Here we go.
