Nostalgia

Can I just say that Katelyn melts my heart? I was viewing my old blog and came across this picture when I was 35ish weeks pregnant-my belly was my table. :) In fact, a few times Katelyn decided she didn't want that bowl of cereal or juice on her because she would give me a nice firm kick and it would topple over. I dubbed her my wiggle worm because she was ALL OVER the place up until the last 2 weeks or so. At that point, she had no room and my round belly looked like a square!
After seeing that picture on my blog, I began going through a bunch of pregnancy pictures and a wave of nostalgia came over me. I never would have fathomed that I would be carrying such an absolute joy and that I could ever be as happy as I am. Even on those bad days when everything seems to be going wrong- she'll flash me that big old smile of hers -instantly- everything is better.

A friend of mine told me that I would get pregnancy amnesia, that all women get it- and I reassured him that I did not nor would I ever get it.... I guess I was wrong. Even with the morning sickness, bloated feet, bed rest, difficult pregnancy, hospitalization, pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome, sleepless nights and not being able to even roll over in bed (satin was my friend)- I miss being pregnant!

Here is an interesting little factoid: Elephants are pregnant for 23 months. I wonder how much they gain during this whole process?!?!
