A Different Outlook

Despite the occasional nausea, the daily indigestion, the debilitating and painful carpal tunnel, the nightly insomnia, and the constant feeling that I’m going to pee my pants, I’ve felt pretty good the last several months. So good that I kind of wanted to be pregnant forever. Now that I know I can get pregnant and I will have a baby, what’s the rush? Actually having the baby just means more work and less sleep, right?

Well, today, for a short moment, instead of getting a little bit freaked out--okay, fine--instead of thinking, “HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I GONE AND DONE,” I thought, “You know, I can do this. This is gonna be fun.”

It IS going to be fun. And it IS overwhelming, but in a wonderful, wonderful way!

OMG I think that everyday! Then I see a mom with her little boy and can't wait:)

It's going to be the best time of your life. After you get over the sleepless nights, horrible mom outfits you find yourself wearing out of the house, irrational emotions from hormones and the havoc that this sweet little screaming bundle of poop has wreaked on your body. :-)
But man those little gas smiles are totally worth it all.
