Last night, boldceo, Ellie and I were in bed, and Brian had his hand on my stomach while he chatted with the baby. After his usual intro (“HEY BABY. IT’S YOUR DAD.”), he said something about how I am the baby’s home right now, and I am where she lives. Simple and true, and I wasn’t in an emotional mood (improvement!), but it got me, and I keep thinking about it. I’ve been doing my very best to give this little human a safe and happy home, and Crohn’s disease seems to be intent on making that difficult for us all sometimes. Life with a chronic illness is never easy, and I know there are going to be plenty of challenges ahead as I attempt to navigate my own health and my family’s. (Kinda terrifying, to be honest.) But for now, baby is still wiggling all the time, and I’m just watching and feeling and taking it all in in awe. Sometimes (often) from the bathroom. But always in awe. . #35weekspregnant #thirdtrimester #babyontherun #crohnsdisease #pregnantbelly
