Who's the Baby?
I had a mini meltdown last night. I fell asleep on the couch next to Adam, who was playing video games, and woke up around midnight feeling as crummy as I had been feeling all day. And it just hit me. I was sick of being sick. All. The. Time. It's like I can't get away from my own body. I've been trying really hard not to complain, to see the bigger picture of what all these changes in my body signifies--a little life growing inside. I know women have been doing it forever, and who am I to complain about the all-day morning sickness, the aches and pains, and the exhaustion? But last night my irrational side took over and I threw a fit. I was tired and restless. I was hungry with no appetite. I felt like a puddle of dough on the couch because that's where I've been residing for the last 5 weeks. When I watch tv shows or movies of women who are pregnant running around, living their lives, I get jealous. I have not had that luxury. Or is it really mind over matter? Am I succumbing to being a baby because I am growing a baby? Needless to say, I am grateful for Adam's continued patience and sensitivity to it all. He ended up tucking me into bed and holding me as best he can (everything hurts) until I fell asleep again. Thank God for good husbands.
