Being Candid at 5 AM

I/I am:
  • unable to sleep
  • worried that we won't get everything we need for the baby
  • broke and tired of it
  • not making progress with my dissertation
  • tired but not sleepy
  • ready for my baby to arrive but feel as though there is so much preparation to do (ONE month to go!)
  • not eating or exercising as well as I would like lately because I have been sick
  • sick of this cold/congestion
  • probably not resting as much as I should, although I plan on not doing much (except for nesting and resting) starting this Wednesday when I am finished with school and practicum
  • making a commitment to love and provide the basic needs of my child, no matter what financial hardships Chris and I encounter...all he needs is: love and comfort, food, clothes, and a comfortable environment
  • feel round all over, I don't care how "tiny" I look to other people
  • have indescribable womanly discomforts known only to other pregnant women/moms
  • miss my husband who is having to sleep in the other room because of my snoring
  • just want to sleep

  1. Rhonie, Lots of love from me to you. If anyone can handle all of this it is you. I respect you so much for all that you take on and the way you make it look effortless.

    And money issues suck but you are right that all your baby needs is love and the two of you.

  2. Ahhh, the "honesty" post. This is something you will look back on and reflect/smile/relish in. I know I do with the few "honesty" posts that I blogged about towards the end with Ginger. It's hard to let it out when everyone expects women to enjoy, glow, and beam in their pregnancy. But let's face it- there is a lot to worry about, think about, and prepare for!

    I know you are like me- so just make a list of things you'd like to accomplish, and try to get 1 or 2 done a day, then rest. And I promise, promise, PROMISE that as soon as Jake is here there will be a whole other set of emotions and feelings that will replace these- most of them an indescribable love that will cause you to forget almost ALL of this! Until you get ready for baby #2 and start rereading your blog to remind yourself! :) I love you sis!!
