terrified, apprehensive, excited :-)
one month seems like a rather short amount of time... when i consider all of the remaining projects that i'd like to finish before isla arrives. although, i've recently come to the point where i can honestly say it won't be the end of the world if XYZ doesn't happen before baby girl comes home. (do i HAVE to get the tax documents properly filed before i become a mother? probably not.) :-)
but on the other hand, one month seems like an excruciatingly long amount of time... when i think about how much longer i have to bear this uncomfortable and even painful physical condition. i had a gloriously easy first 7.5 months of pregnancy. no morning sickness, just a touch of nausea, minor back pain, but really, nothing horrible. however, in the past two weeks, my body has taken on some of the ugly and unpleasant pregnancy side effects. and it hurts. to sit, to stand, to walk, to relax. it just hurts. always. BUT every uncomfortable moment is a reminder of the blessing that is to come. i cannot even express how thankful i am to be in this position, as unpleasant as it may be at times! i am so excited to meet our baby girl, our answer to prayer, our gift from God.
happy thanksgiving to you and your families!
