An Ode to Pregnancy

egg releasing, sperm reaching,

period missing, daddy kissing,

bosom swelling, tears welling,

face glowing, vomit flowing,

appetite increasing, fish ceasing,

cells splitting, clothes not fitting,

fetus tumbling, tummy rumbling,

belly expanding, hard standing,

bellybutton popping, bits dropping,

lungs wheezing, stomach squeezing,

ankles puffing, breath huffing,

brain exploding, life imploding,

thoughts wondering, mind wandering,

name thinking, time shrinking,

breast dripping, scales tipping,

blood racing, muscles bracing,

clock ticking, baby kicking,

baby urging, hormones surging,

labor pending, pregnancy ending,

heart drumming, contractions coming,

pain searing, faces peering,

baby screaming, tear streaming

JOY, JOY, JOY

 I absolutely loved being pregnant and experiencing the miracle of creating, carrying and delivering a child of God. What a blessing this experience was!
