After a very long period of “morning sickness,” it is nice to have a something to look forward to. A couple of kicks and jabs to the gut are what cures me of the flu like symptoms now. I guess all of those moms out there can tell me that it was so much fun to have the baby moving around at 5, 6, 7 months.

Funny though, I have a friend that misses the baby dance now that she gave birth. But I do remember talking to her a couple of weeks ago about the discomfort of a foot to the rib and not having any more room in there at 36 weeks.

I guess that a mothers memories change as those great moments happen. Just a few months ago when asked how I was feeling I would reply “sick, or nauseous.” Now I say that the baby is moving all of the time. I am not sure how that describes my feeling? Well, in a few months, no one will ask. They will inquire, “how old, what’s the name, or can I hold the baby?” And I’m counting on the fact I will have no memories of delivery pain when those questions are asked!
