I feel FANTASTIC!!!!

Y'know that glorious feeling when you've felt cruddy for a while and then you start feeling better again, like your old self only better? Well, I've been feeling like that all week, and it feels so very good! Finally after weeks of feeling sick and weeks before that when I was in so much pain, I feel GREAT!!!

I have energy (granted it's a third trimester level of energy but it feels superb nonetheless), a sense of humor again, and best of all, for some miraculous reason (maybe the weight has shifted more forward and less down? who knows? who cares!!!!) my pains have subsided considerably and I can go to the shops or do some cleaning or best of all, play with Elliot without feeling miserable! HAL-LE-LU-JAH!!

And of course with feeling better physically comes feeling better emotionally, and I think we are all very happy to see that cranky Casey has finally budged over and made room for fun, silly, optimistic Casey. I'm feeling so excited (and nervous) to meet Oliver and see how he and Elliot will get on

I'm also cherishing these last few weeks of being pregnant (something I definitely wouldn't have said six weeks ago!) and feeling Oliver move and sharing these last weeks of my body. I'm so grateful to have this reprieve because I didn't want to end my last pregnancy hating everything about it. Being pregnant is a pretty miraculous thing and I'm glad I've been given another chance to marvel in it for a little while.

P.S. This isn't my real belly, but a stand-in I found on google!
