worth it

Five months of heartburn.

Twenty-two pounds gained.

One month of torrential, weepy days.

Uncountable trips to the bathroom.

Two months of aching joints.

Nine days of waiting after the due date passed.

Three hours of missed sleep and high hopes during a pre-labor false alarm.

Seven hours of early labor.

Three hours of active labor.

Ten minutes of pushing.

Worth it.
