Pregnancy Adventures

I feel like I've been pretty dang lucky during this pregnancy. I only felt nauseous the first few months and my back pain is pretty much gone since going to chiropractor on a regular basis. I like the shape of being pregnant. I makes me feel really womanly and feminine. Luckily, drinking water and walking helps my feet go back down to a relatively normal size. 

Tearful Hugs

Mike is used to my tears. He is quite comfortable with my outbursts. I suppose folks don't really think about the possibility that I might be nervous or anxious about having a baby. I haven't really given birth to a baby before... its kind of a big deal. Mike is really good about reassuring me and cheering me on. That helps a lot. 

Good News

Not so good news as a new baby, but still encouraging. I'm still waffling between feeling like I'm failing to get this baby out and that I can totally triumphantly have this baby without drugs and surgery. So that was an encouraging visit. 

Holy Germs, Batman!

Who knew church could be such a dangerous place!? I'm 39 weeks pregnant (basically ready to pop at any moment) and I would really like to not to be fighting the flu or a cold while trying to push a baby out. So I was sent home early. Husbands can be protective that way. 

Anyway...

My darling husband Mike has encouraged me to revive my journal comics. He loves them so much. He gets so excited about it, that his enthusiasm has rubbed off on me. I've not been posting or creating all that much art lately... as you may or may not have noticed. I've been struggling with finding purpose and direction. I hope I figure it out this year. If nothing else, I hope these comics help me keep my drawing and storytelling skills alive.
