The New Year

Happy New Year!

This entire pregnancy it has seemed that the time when our little one would come was forever away. I guess partly because it was occurring in the next year. Well that year is now here. Jackson will be here this year!! It is incredibly exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. I mean I have never cared for a newborn before. Being the youngest in my family, I never was around babies. Sure one summer I worked at a daycare but I watched the 2 year olds. Give me a toddler and I am good- I can be the fun aunt who plays games and watches cartoons. But a mom to an infant?? I have never done that before.

So what is truth about pregnancy: Well first it does crazy things to the entire digestive process. From start to finish, it is all different. You get tired a lot faster and earlier than before. Course when you do fall asleep you will wake up throughout the night to pee or just cause. I am lucky if I can manage to sleep in one morning a week. Otherwise I am up at 7 am ready to go. You pee all day without ever really going. Your temper is cut into a 1/10 of what is was before. Someone looks at you the wrong way or you take something the wrong way and you are madder than a hornet. But I will say that if you want to do it, you can do it. Course ask me that again when I am in the middle of labor before the epidural and who knows what I might say.
