I have reverted back to my pre-walking days of so long ago.<\/p>\n

I’m crawling ever so slowly forward<\/strong>. The minutes stretch into days of painful waiting.<\/p>\n

I’m ready for closure. I’m ready to move forward into the next chapter.<\/p>\n

A chapter that has to be brighter and sunnier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember the early days when Kalyra was born. They will filled with so much sunshine.<\/strong> I delighted in every waking moment. Despite the lack of sleep, I had a lot of energy and a lot of love.<\/p>\n

I’m counting on that again to boost me up.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I’m ready to move forward, I’m ready. I don’t feel I need to wait or crawl. My attitude is always “Let’s go!”<\/p>\n

But now I have to whisper the words, “Let it go.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s so totally not up to me right now.<\/p>\n

I feel like I have been pregnant forever<\/strong> and I am so tired. In a way I really have been pregnant for longer than most, for a year. Last year I was for three months, three long months of tiredness and nausea<\/strong> before we discovered there was no baby.<\/a><\/p>\n

Then it took a couple of weeks to get over the D & C<\/strong>, and then it wasn’t long after that that I was pregnant again<\/strong>. No wonder this time I feel likke it has been eternity and I just want it over.<\/p>\n

\"Starting<\/a>

Brighter days ahead<\/p><\/div>\n

I feel haggard and worn, and I look it.<\/p>\n

This has been one of the\u00a0most challenging\u00a0years of my life. It has been filled with sickness, adjustments, and a lot of unnecessary personal stress that, when mixed in with pregnancy hormones, has brought with me a roller coaster ride from hell.<\/p>\n

The sunshine has not burned as brightly as it usually does.<\/p>\n

That is why I am longing for this new chapter.<\/p>\n

Spending each day with my new baby girl and my big little girl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having my body back so I can exercise vigourously and detox.<\/p>\n

Fixing my diet.<\/p>\n

Getting these projects that are lingering to start until bubs arrive, to bloody well start.<\/p>\n

Shutting\u00a0out all the black noise and\u00a0drying up the tears.<\/p>\n

I need a fresh start.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mid wife told me all these fake contractions lately are just bubs getting prepared. Perhaps another week.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0guess that is better than another five which, if she is late, is possible.<\/p>\n

C’mon bubs. Let’s do this. I’ll smash down the pains of childbirth<\/a> if it means we can just meet each other soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
