Wednesday, May 9, 2012
I haven't kept up with a blog in years. I blame that on the fact that there was literally nothing worth writing about going on in my life. I was stagnant and emotionally distraught. Literally the only thing I could talk/whine about was the latest drama with whatever flavor of the month I was currently involved with at the moment. Things are different now. The biggest proponent of change was meeting and falling in love with Bennett Mitchell. He saved me in all of the ways that a person can save another person. I know that no one is perfect, but he comes so close sometimes that it's creepy.I'm looking forward to a lifetime of loving him and our child.
Yes that's right, child! We are having a baby sometime in October. I can't begin to tell you how excited, anxious, terrified, and giddy I am and have been for the past two months that I've known I was expecting. Bennett probably could, seeing as he has been the number one witness to all of the emotional ups and downs that come with all of this. At the end of the day though, I'm ecstatic. I can't stop touching my stomach. I steal glances of my expanding profile in every full length mirror that I pass. I walk through the baby department of every store that I enter even though I know it wouldn't make sense to buy anything fun until we know whether or not we will be having a boy or girl (May 29th).
I'm in literal awe of my body. I've never had an ounce of self-control in me. I can't tell you how many diets I've started, how many resolutions I've made to get more sleep, how many times I've said 'I should really quit smoking.' It's simplest to say that when I became pregnant, my body became the boss. (Almost) every bad (physical) habit that I possess was kicked to the curb. I began craving fresh fuits, yogurts, cheese, and grainy bread. The weight of exhaustion forced me to nap and go to sleep earlier at night, and the smell of cigarettes, even on the clothes of someone who had recently smoked, made me sick. All of these changes were made and I wasn't the deciding force in any of them. Like I said, I'm in literal awe.
Here's a picture of my belly at 16 weeks:
And here's the most recent ultrasound picture, taken at 12 weeks and 4 days:
And here's a picture of my best friend/love/baby daddy rescuing a cat from a tree:
(if you know me then it is obvious why I love him.)
