Energetically 40 weeks and counting

 This last Tuesday marked my 40th week of pregnancy.
It is still shocking to me that any day now my son will make his grand entrance into this world. Thankfully, my energy level has risen along with my anticipation.

Energy, I feel like super women lately. I wish I had this much energy when I was in college. Normally this energy would be attributed to the half a gallon of coffee I drank, but this natural perk of being a pregger is amazing. I highly suggest the drug companies get a hold of this, or when in doubt of your body's ability to give you energy just add a dose of 40 weeks pregnant to your drink.

 This sh*t is crazy, I wake up about every couple hours through out the night. Each time I awake happier than the next. Yes, it is a minor hassle finding the bathroom in the dark, but for some reason I am filled with joy and a surge of energy. When I finally arise for the day, I could not be more excited to get out of bed at unusually early hours: like 5 am!

 I cannot claim to be a night owl, for I pass out intensely when I do fall asleep. For example,  as I woke up for my 2 am bathroom regimen I realized my bra was still on and I needed to brush my teeth.

 All this energy, has brought me hope in my body's ability to conquer the next couple of weeks as a First Time Mom. I know our baby can arrive at any moment now and I pray to God that I will still have this energy to pull me through those first couple of days and weeks.

Ultimately, I would classify this week as anxiously energetic. I am beyond anxious to meet the little man my body has nurtured for 9 months, and I am the energizer bunny when it comes to prepping his new home.. our home.
