sleepless in the south

You know those 1st trimester
can’t sleep even though you’re exhausted
and can’t even open your eyes nights?
I don’t really miss those nights.

How ‘bout the 3rd trimester
can’t sleep cause you can’t get in a comfortable position
long enough to get to sleep nights;
what with the aching back, sore hips, pelvis spreading
(even though your body no longer can use this amazing function…)
leg cramps, puffy feet, and hands & arms that fall asleep
before you do?

Goodbye second trimester
Hello third
~
Baby,
Momma’s just about ready to meet you!
Actually, Momma is ready now;
but it’s probably best if you stay put for awhile
and work on growing big and strong.
I love you, Pumpkin

  4. Nothing interesting to write about?
    Aunt K - you live an ocean away AND have two little kids! Those two facts alone give you gajillions to write about :)


    Momma - "pumpkin" you said?!?! does that mean we think it's a girl?! :D

    Oh dear, are you having trouble with feet swelling again? Maybe it's something God does to you to force you to get the rest you need :)
    If you need a baby sitter sometime, I know an very part time college student who might could help you out :)
