Holding on to sanity by a thread..

Is there anything more sad than a blank blog? It's a contradiction in itself! I figured I should remedy that before I fell asleep tonight. It's been a while since I've written anything, so these first couple of posts are probably going to be shaky at best.. I guess I'll just write about what I know:

Bed rest. I really don't think people understand how hard these last 4 months have been. As much as I'm looking forward to meeting the little guy I'm harboring, I hope my sanity holds long enough to feel like a competent mother when he does finally arrive. Assuming I make it to my due date (which I fully intend to do), I will have spent half a year in bed. Can you imagine? People laugh and tell me I'm "resting up now because I won't be able to sleep much when the baby does arrive." I can't even tell you how irritating that statement is to me. I really am at my wit's end.

Thankfully the holiday's are coming up and that will provide some much-needed distraction. I love this time of year and am thankful we're in the same season that Jack will be born in. I can't wait to be a Mom. Truthfully, with all the problems and worries that have come with these past few months, I wouldn't trade being pregnant for the world. I love feeling the baby kick, move, hiccup (although that was very odd at first), etc. I'm ready for my life to change forever.

Lots more to say, but it's time to sleep. My husband and dog have already beat me to it. Goodnight!
