Pregnancy Thoughts

Pregnancy is something that unless you go through it you will never really understand it. I can say this now that I have managed to get through the past 9 months. I'm not going to pretend that I understood pregnancy before or that I even wanted to or cared to understand it. I was not the least bit sympathetic but now I have a whole new admiration towards woman and what we are capable of. There really are no words to truly describe pregnancy. It is hard and tiring and this extra weight that has crept up on me is unmanageable and uncomfortable. But, even with all that pregnancy is truly amazing. When you feel your baby moving inside of you, it truly is one of life's greatest moments.

We are about to embark on our next journey....tomorrow we should be welcoming our newest addition. Our love for baby Slane already is amazing considering we have never met the little guy. Our worlds are about to never be the same, ever. We are both excited for that journey and we can't wait to met the little man who has had control over mom for almost a year now. As Cory told Kramer the other night, "Kramer we get normal mommy back soon. Not pregnant mommy." Which translates into mommy who doesn't spill crocodile tears with a drop of a coin or can turn into Satan's spawn at the drop of a hat :)


In the pregnancy process I have come to realize how much of the burden is on the female partner. She's got a construction zone going on in her belly.
