Drumroll please….
…motherhood!
Yes, you read that right. My newest adventure in this crazy life is transitioning from wife to mom. For the record, this was totally God’s plan and not mine, so I have had to spend a lot of time praying and trusting His plans are higher than my plans. After a 12 week battle with constant nausea and exhaustion, I am finally starting to feel like a normal person again. Oh, except for the small fact there is another person inside of me. I am convinced you never get used to that idea.
Also, the not-sleeping-through-the-night, peeing every hour, mood swings, and having weird cravings starts from day one. So far I am 100% convinced this baby did not come from my genes as the only thing it craves is greasy, fried food and all things sweet. Oh and bubblegum. I have not chewed gum in 4 years, but I bought some all-natural bubble gum from the health food store and I. can’t. stop. I chewed almost the entire package (28 gum balls) in a week.
Beyond the craziness of there being a baby inside of me (seriously, still can’t used to that), there are a million decisions you have to make and a million opinions on how you should make them. Oh and trying to ask people about it gets you a lot of weird looks. I think this is why there are so many mommy bloggers out there because in real life we don’t do a great job supporting each other in our individual paths to motherhood. But on the internet, well, sure you may get some not-so-nice mail, but that’s why they have the delete button.
So I apologize in advance if the theme of my posts over the next 6 months transitions a little…life is changing quickly!!!
