Because I’m feeling all sorts of feels lately, I find my emotions best summed up in verse! Enjoy!
the baby is squirming
I eagerly wait for more
my heart feels so full
I’ll miss being pregnant
My body can do amazing things
I can feel a life growing inside and
I am never alone
My body can do amazing things
Nature knows just what to do
I am never alone
And I love that feeling
Nature knows just what to do
I can feel a life growing inside and
Though I know it must come out soon
I’ll miss being pregnant
newborn
grumpy old man
crying, pooping, sleeping
depending on me in every way
baby
a curious anxiety has settled over me
I’m eager to meet you but I’m not
I want to be pregnant just a little bit longer
and I also want you to get the f*&# out!
I want to know what colour of eyes you’ll open
and what kind of hair and skin
will you come out the picture of Asian descent
or a pale and redheaded little Scotsman?
will you know me by smell and sound and touch
will you recognize your daddy’s voice too
will you long to return to your 9-month bat cave
when you’re surrounded by everything new
will the title we’ve chosen fit your itty bitty form
or will it matter in the least what you’re named
when you’re placed gently onto my heaving chest
and we’re both hungry and tired and maimed
how long are you planning to make us wait
to welcome you home at long last
I know my body will do whatever it takes
In the end, I just hope it happens fast!
just weeks away now
second guessing my choices
what makes a good mom?
There once was a baby pre-named… Oops!
That’s a secret! To know, there are hoops!
But we can’t trust you’ll react
With a positive knack
So for now just call him Mr. Poops!
