So yea guys…I’ve got a bun in the oven!
I am legit still in disbelief that I’m growing a tiny human in my body at this very moment! How terrifying cool is that?!
So as of today, I am currently 25 weeks (about 6 months). There have been some hiccups along the way (from surprise grapefruit-sized fibroids to a cervical cerclage to immediate bed rest to weekly hormone shots). Full disclosure guys, I dunno how some women can pull off that easy-breezy pregnancy life while the rest of us are in straight survival mode. You will not see any gorgeous glowing face shots of me right now because they just don’t exist. Hence why this announcement happened later than planned, I had such a clever idea but it involved my face and me putting on human clothes. It just wasn’t in the cards.
But anywho, right now can we talk about how it’s possible to be over-the-moon excited and full on shit-my-pants scared at the same time? I know the hormones are raging, but how do you go from obsessively pinning nursery ideas to panic-attack-dry-heaving in the bathroom in like 10 seconds flat?
To everyone out there who has to put up with a pregnant significant other, can I just say kudos to you? These days I can barely put up with myself so how you do it is honestly beyond me.
But in between the mini-meltdowns and popsicle overdoses (and I mean the cheap ones that come in the red net bag, they are just sooooo good), there have been some amazing moments, like seeing baby on the ultrasound, hearing the heartbeat for the first time, and feeling those first kicks. And as scary as it we are so excited about this new chapter in our lives.
