Goodbye

This will be my last post until after Izzy is born. Although I am super excited, I am also a little blue. I am feeling melancholy for several reasons...

1. Izzy will no longer be all mine. I feel him kick and squirm, and only I can delight in these little joys. He is my sweet little baby - all mine. But after Friday, he will be our baby. Yes, I am selfish. I like having him all to myself.

2. I know that this will be my last pregnancy for at least 4 or 5 years. Although I am not eager to get pregnant anytime soon, I am going to miss the sensation of a baby moving in my womb.

3. My life is about to change drastically. I am a creature of habit, and change is always hard for me.

But I am happy too, for several reasons...

1. I get to meet my baby - my beautiful little boy.

2. I won't have to pee 782 times per day. YAY!!!

3. Porgie and I can start playing together again. At this point, we are just coexisting in the same house. I want to run and jump and laugh with her, without experiencing excruciating hip and back pain.

I know that I frequently whine and complain, but I really am an incredibly lucky person. I have so much to be thankful for.

My wonderful friend Eva will be updating my blog with information regarding Izzy's birth on Friday. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. I will miss you!

Love,
Christy

Best of luck! I have no doubt things will go beautifully. I can't wait to hear all about your new baby! I'm so excited!

I also miss the feeling of my baby moving inside me. Remember that you can always drink a lot of soda to get gas bubbles that approximate the sensation!

Hang in there! I will be thinking squishy thoughts for you.

I also know what you mean about playing with your toddler. I really missed that, too!

I guess this means you're due very soon. I am terrible at keeping up with these things. Good luck with everything, and I'll be eagerly anticipating a picture of your baby boy.

Lots of love and congrats and hugs. Enjoy. I was sad when I was not prego too because Max saw so safe inside of me and I loved feeling him kick too. Please have Eva post pictures.
