Grouch...

I don't know if it is due to pregnancy hormones or what, but I have been such a crab lately. I am happy to be wrapped up in Miah's arms in the evening watching some show or reading a book, but during the day I try to get in a workout to blow-off some energy and then hide! I really don't feel much like myself and am wondering if it could just be a hormone thing? That said, a long time ago I heard a very godly woman say that we (women, that is) should never use hormone's as an excuse for poor behavior. I completely agree and have kept that at the forefront of my mind the past few days. I have also been talking to the Lord about it during my morning quiet times. Truly, without his presence working through me, especially in this area these days, I would be completely lost!
Perhaps I am feeling a bit out of sorts with my inability to plan the labor? I am quite excited about not knowing when the baby will come, but organizing visits and what not afterwards has really been weighing on my mind. Perhaps for my own sanity (and those around me!) I may ask folks to wait a few days before coming by, and then giving Jeremiah and I a call to see if we are ready for visitors. If that does happen, please know that we DO want everyone to be able to meet this sweet little person, but it is a big transition and Jeremiah and I move a bit slower than most and may need a few days to hibernate and begin this much anticipated transition.

Happy Thanksgiving Sue! I just wanted to know that I've stuck by the same guideline however when I hit pregnancy, looking back, there seemed to be such a surge of hormones that I was just edgy all the time...I know what you're going through and I'm proud of your response!!! You're in the final stretch!!! Love ya Sue!!!

I don't think that recognizing your hormones being a little off is an excuse, just a state of fact. Don't worry Sue, you're almost there. The anticipation is what I think makes it all worse. And on a side note, how rude to make you go through all that at 9 months preggo! Good luck. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
