My fiance and I found out we are pregnant!!!! Yay! We are SO excited. We are having a boy! He is due November 1st. The first few month were very very tough hense me being so out of touch. I was so sick. I honestly did nothing...just when I started feeling better and started getting things accomplished....this past week I ended up sick again....UGH! It may have been a stomach bug but either way it was NO FUN at all. Anyway....with some R&R I am starting to feel better and most importantly our little Bubba (this is what we call him....) is doing very well. He is moving and kicking all the time. It really is the coolest thing ever to experience. Feeling your child grow inside of you (although strange at times) is the most exciting and wonderful experience. I feel like he already has a little personality....I cannot wait to meet him. He seems to have so much energy....and he should he sucking all of mine out of me....LOL! ; )
As wonderful as it is, it is also very draining and even scary at times. Sharing your body with a baby is not always easy. My doctor described him as a parasite....he takes what he wants when he wants it and leaves the scraps for you....this the most true statement. I have been amazed by the toll it takes on your body. I would not trade it for anything, just noting that it can be a challenge and honestly no one tells you about this at all.
Almost all of my girl friends have had a baby some two some three....and no one tells you about the process until you are in it....they say you can't or won't believe it until you are in it and that may be true but I am hear to tell you....imagine the hardest work out you have ever done, after pulling an all nighter, drinking and dancing your face off, with no water and no time to rest before having to go to work for 12 hours staight with time to only eat maybe once... Even great days you are caring for the little baby and like it or not you move slower and think slower....imagine being hung over everyday for nine months.... ; ) These seem like silly analogies I am sure but honestly there are days this is what it is like.
I am sure many will read this and say listen to this one and her bundle of joy has not even arrived....I am not complaining just giving any ladies out there thinking about or trying to have a baby a heads up on what could possibly be in their future....
As my friends that are moms would say....this is only the beginning and it gets "better"...which means - worse.... LOL!
There are perks to being in this state....no worrying about your tummy sticking out...it will no matter what... ; ) Most people tell you how great you look and how cute you are even when you think they are lying....it is still nice to hear. It is actually ok...to say you just want to lay down and take a nap and actually do it (I do not take advantage of this one enough....). And best of all if you are lucky enough to have a fiance (or husband/boyfriend/partner...etc.) as great as mine, he will make you any food you would like at just about any time....
Brian, my fiance, has been so wonderful. He is so cute and so excited. This has been such a great adventure for the two of us.
Well, I think I have given a long winded enough recap of the past couple of months.
I will post some photos soon and keep the posts coming as much as possible.
Have a great day!!!!
