Nine Months Out

Yesterday felt like a special milestone, the 22nd was Jack's 9 month birthday. And I guess the 9 month mark brought up lots pregnancy feelings. I loved being pregnant, loved it so much. I think knowing that it was going to be my only experience made me savour all the little moments. I was blessed with an easy pregnancy and even the heartburn, constipation, separated ab muscles, pelvic girdle pain, and limited sex positions didn't thwart my joy. I loved his little kicks, his twists and turns, and his hiccups. And looking back, I love knowing that he spent those 9 months in utero growing and turning me into a mother.
