It's Saturday morning. That means a whole lot of things, but one of which is I get a chance to step back and think about how things are going. This morning I did a lot of praying about life...I've been really frustrated lately with some things that I never wanted to be happening at this point in my life, that are happening. We are not where I always thought we would be at this point, but in many ways we are better so I have to give those things to God, let go, and relax into His peace.
I am sharing my body with another adorable, sweet, healthy, heart-beating human. That is so cool!
I am really happy in my marriage. I just love being married; we have so much fun together, and yesterday morning he made me pancakes! On a weekday!!!
So really, many things are even better than I could ever hope for, so that is what we will focus on.
I am very happy to report that at 15.5 weeks pregnant, I officially feel better than I have since July! My sweet babe is avocado sized, and big enough where I could cradle it in my hand, which in a weird way I wish I could. But no...stay in there and keep cooking, little one! We watched the "Babies" movie the other day, and on the same day I found a bunch of pregnancy magazines that my doctor's office gave us. Those 2 events made me have a turning point of getting excited about having a baby around. Reading about conception and growth of the baby was moving because it is so miraculous and crazy. We all overcame many many odds to come into existence! It's so cool how the teeny tiny egg and sperm work SO hard to do all they have to do to create life.
I also was given my 1st batch of maternity clothes by Jessi Puleo- thank you!! The only thing I have used so far is some tank tops because it's just so important to have shirts long enough to cozily cover all of my glorious mini-bump.
Becoming parents means making lots of changes. Stuart and I have been hard at work scheming our plans for next year. It is very exciting to have to make changes and I believe more things are going to open up for us that we can't even see yet. Stuart has taken lots of initiative with some new endeavors and I'm very proud and inspired by him. He's exploring the music production/management field, which he will be amazing in. I'm thankful that my job provides a month of paid maternity leave! I very much look forward to a day when I work less than 40 hours a week. Working full time has been the worst thing that ever happened to me! Why do we do that to ourselves?? Ugh.
Someday soon we will start working on a nursery. That will be interesting.
Thanks for reading!
