With Our Child

An ever changing me with each breathing labored breath
Each day another kick or roll deep inside of me
My breasts fill full and at times secrete clear liquid
I’m still beautiful, desirable and I’m still even sexy.

So much has changed in my body this is my first
Surprises like excessive belching and feeling always horney
Cravings are not so odd I crave green olives
The only thing is… when I eat them I get really sickly.

Throwing up is just another pastime as well as sleep
I have to lie on my side since my back is always pained
The discomfort is constant there’s never any relief
This is something I tease my husband with… he’s to blame.

He had to make love to me and put me in this condition
Aiding in the massive change I’m going through
A partner in crime doing the dirty deed too well and right
Hearty squiggles swimming up stream to make a new"you.”

Holding this over his head gets me dinner, presents and niceness
Not that he hasn’t been nice or given me things… it’s just compounded
Guilt, guilt, guilt and more guilt trip while I’m puking in the toilet
He puts a cold cloth on my forehead and holds my hair all twisted.

Such a great man he is and he’s going to be a better father
It’s all surreal… a child growing getting nourishment within me
Living off of my own body, it seems so strange how this happens
We’re hoping for a boy and we’ll name him Nathaniel Gregory.

Posing for this picture was an idea for a gift for my husband
He’s been ideal throughout this pregnancy thus far
Taking care of me and still loving me like the woman I am
Romancing me with such passion saying I’m his shining star.

Framing this picture with his child growing inside me is special
I tear up every time I look at it, all the while feeling his heart
Together we’re going through this, I am not all alone
He’s very much involved and there’s so much he is a part.

Thank You Dear Husband…
…Nathaniel Gregory Says Thank You Too Daddy
WE LOVE YOU!!!!
