One thing I knew prior to being pregnant, and of course have now experienced first hand, is that most people just don't care about this pregnancy as much as my husband and I do (which is to be expected, of course!). I have always been one to find pregnancy utterly fascinating...so much so that should I be in their presence, I constantly ask pregnant women questions about themselves and their baby. How do they feel, what is it like to feel the baby move, what's the hardest part of being pregnant, etc., etc. It's just an amazing thing and my curiosity was never ending. I used to find myself inadvertantly staring if I saw a pregnant woman out in public. Not because I'm weird, but just because it's such a awe inspriring miracle. I've now been on the other side of that spectrum, and notice people looking or doing a double take when they see my little baby belly. I've also noticed that most people are unlike me in the fact that, I am only asked how the pregnancy is going by very few. And to be honest, it surprises me to a certain extent. But that's probably just because I have always asked pregnant women constant questions!
My whole point of starting this blog was mostly for myself, so I can look back and remember as much of this experience as possible. It's a place where I can go and freely express my happiness for the greatest thing that has ever happened to me thus far (with my wedding day very close behind) and not have to feel bad about the fact that yes, I have my baby on the brain. My whole job for this entire nine months is to take care of myself and protect this baby, who is trusting me to provide a safe and happy home until he's ready to join the world. It's one of the only times in his life that I will have control over his safety and what goes into his body to help him develop. So, to be brutally honest, nothing else matters quite as much as him in the meantime. This is something that I feel very grateful for, and there's no telling if I will experience pregnancy again....so I am taking full advantage, enjoying every moment, and that includes thinking about this baby 24/7! It's almost impossible to not realize the miracle that is taking place inside your body around the clock! I will continue to do most of my talking (some may call it bragging) about the baby in this blog, but hopefully everyone can understand that, while not permanent, I definitely have a one track mind for now. And this is not going to change. So, for that (and for my crazy hormones), I apologize now! :) I will return to normal, one of these days. Thanks to all who read this blog and love us, and love to hear about our baby boy!
