at 6 months pregnant

Assuming my son is born on his due date, there are 107 days left. One hundred seven. As terrified as I am of labor and birth. I’m ready. I’m really, really ready. Ready for my body back. Ready for the nausea to pass. Ready to meet my son. Ready to see his face and hold him in my arms. Engorged breasts, exhaustion and newborn cries, I’m ready for the change. I feel like I’ve been pregnant forever.
