I Feel Great!

So, these past few days I have been feeling great; better than I’ve felt in weeks. I’ve been feeling let’s go out and run a marathon great. This is a drastic departure from what I had been feeling the last few weeks. I was in panic mode because I honestly felt like I couldn’t be pregnant another second. Now I don’t even feel pregnant.

This past Saturday I thought I was going to have a panic attack because I was feeling so overwhelming pregnant. *Everything* hurt. I felt so much pressure and cramping in my belly and I thought I was going to collapse under the weight of my belly. I really didn’t know how I was going to survive the next 4 weeks or so.

Then all of a sudden I just started to feel better; *much* better. It started Sunday when we were putting together the nursery. I got this sudden burst of energy and my body didn’t hurt as bad. Then Monday, Tuesday and today things seem to be better than ever.

I don’t feel tired. My back and legs are no longer achy. I don’t feel any pressure or cramping in my belly. My feet and hands aren’t swollen. Cayden’s kicks are delightful instead of painful. I don’t feel like I weight a metric ton.

I don’t know what is causing the sudden change. All I know is that it is a welcome change and I am once again loving every second of my pregnancy. Thanks goodness because I don’t know how Chad and I would have mentally handled another 4 weeks of my misery.

Chad thinks that I suddenly feel so much better because I am going to be having Cayden soon—real soon. Maybe? Who know? Perhaps I just feel so much better because I don’t have the pressure of an unfinished nursery on my shoulders.

I’ve had some people at work tell me that it looks like I’ve “dropped”. Honestly, I was thinking the same think; looking in the mirror Cayden looks awfully low. Perhaps he has dropped into a more comfortable position for the both of us.

Maybe I will be having him soon. That would be delightful. I can’t wait to have him with us. It seems like we have been waiting forever. And even if it does take another 4 weeks (instead of 2 like I am hoping) I am very thankful that I am getting a few days of relieve from the discomfort that is 8 months pregnant.

I have a doctor's appointment today. I can't wait to see how it goes.
