Pregnancy makes me feel a lot of things.

It makes me nauseated, exhausted, irritable, undesirable, and moody. It makes my face break out in acne. It makes me have dark circles under my eyes. It makes me complain…a lot. It makes me very, very sleepy. And it makes me weird.

But….

It also makes me feel capable and able. It makes me want to do silly things like ride roller coasters and take random road trips. It makes me want to do big things like start a business or write a book. It makes me feel strong. It makes me dream.

And since I’m super hyped up on all kinds of hormones – it makes me crazy enough to actually believe that some of those big dreams could come true one day.

It’s amazing really.

While it is true that pregnancy can make me feel …..incapable. It also makes me feel like I can do something.

On those days when I find it near impossible to even get my hair brushed – its nice to feel like there are lots of things that are possible.

All these feelings of power and possibilities in pregnancy – get me through the yucky stuff. And I’m real thankful for that. 🙂

    woo hoo! let's hear it for that grand adventure that is pending motherhood. I find it brings out my prankster side.

    at the moment, with at most four weeks to go, I'm sooo tired yet constantly find projects that I absolutely must do… put away Christmas, go thru baby stuff, cook a fabulous meal (dirtying lots of dishes), read a thick fantasy novel, write a book, and above all play Mario Kart Wii until all hours. When I do manage to get to bed, I find myself staring at the ceiling in boredom. How annoying!

    Best of luck to you as you get through the yucky parts! Remember to enjoy the journey!

    Hi, sweet friend!
    Happy New Year!
    I was praying yesterday that God would help me to start believing Him for some big things…to have dreams…ones that are beyond me. 🙂

    Praying for you…with your pregnancy…with reading the Word…and that He will indeed place some big God-sized dreams in your heart, as well. 🙂

    Love to you…even if your hair doesn't get brushed. 😉

  3. Great post. It makes me think of the Nichole Nordeman song "Brave." She wrote that song to her son after she gave birth to him.

    Love ya…happy new year!
