I know my days as a pregnant woman are numbered.
The feeling and sight of a small person moving underneath the surface of my belly will soon be over. In these last final days I'm trying to embrace the feelings whether pleasant or not and reflect on all my blessings including the ability to bring a little baby into this world. Our final addition to the family is a bittersweet thought and the rate at which my children are growing is alarming. I just want to hold on to the time I have left with this pregnancy. I want to feel tiny feet nudging me while I sleep. I want to feel little hiccups and hear his heartbeat on a machine. I want to hold on to the fact that he is safe in my belly away from the world. Just me and him.
But on the other hand I want to hold him very close and give him kisses on his little forehead. I want to give him my finger so he can grip it tight with his tiny hands. I want his brothers to see that something so special was really worth the wait and all the times mom couldn't get up and run with them.
I know my days as a pregnant woman are numbered. I want each moment to receive its full value as I leave this phase which has molded me into the woman I am today.
