Really. I'm 33 weeks pregnant, and by all accounts there is a healthy little Chipmunk in there. We are so incredibly lucky. Pregnancy is by no means sunshine and rainbows. Sleep is elusive due to the most insane heartburn I ever thought could happen. My hips hurt so badly sometimes that I can't even walk. My asthma has flared and my cervical issues have evolved into actual dysplasia. But you know what? None of it matters. None of it is worth even thinking about in light of how lucky we are to have this little one doing so well. She can do whatever she wants to my body as long as she stays healthy and cooking.
And that's why I haven't posted. I feel like pretty much anything I write smacks of insensitivity. So many of the women who have been so supportive of me are dealing with some real shit. I don't want to waste your time with bump-dates when you should be reading them and sending good thoughts and support to them. So please go do that if you haven't already.
