When I first got pregnant and even before I had this plan to blog all the time about my pregnancy and take all these cute belly pictures and blah bah blah. Well now that I am almost 7 months into creating a human with pretty much nothing to show for it I figure I should document SOMETHING. So where to start...
September 22nd. We found out we were going to be parents. It was a day full of laughter, tears, and excitement. I took a test that day not expecting it to be positive because of how early it was but oh was it positive. But it had to be a false positive right? So I took another one. Positive. Another false positive I assumed. Well over the course of the next few weeks I must have taken over 15 tests. I couldn't wrap my head around it! It was so surreal. Its not like we didn't want this or like it was some big surprise, it just didn't feel real!
As the weeks went on I expected to be getting sick. Week 6 nothing. 7..8..9..10.. I must be in the clear. HA. I could only be so lucky. Week 11. It all began. My sense of smell was out of control. I could smell things better than dogs. I'm sure of it. EVERYTHING smelled disgusting or weird. Including my poor husband. Every time I opened our pantry door I would throw up without a doubt within 2 minutes. I lived off of wheat thins and light blue Gatorade for a few months. It was a lovely few months but thankfully it passed. :)
I feel like I have been relatively emotionally stable so far. Tyson was terrified I was going to turn into a crazy monster once this baby started growing inside of me. There have been a few TINY moments where I may or may not have overreacted but Tyson always seems to understand.
He understands when I would make him sit on the other couch because he smelled funny.
He understands when I would refuse to take my prenatal vitamins so he would take them with me.
He understands when I ask him to get up and get me food because I am just TOO TIRED to do it. even though I have been laying on the couch all day while he was at work.
He understands when I don't feel like loving him as much that day so he loves me enough for the both of us.
He understands when I don't feel like loving him as much that day so he loves me enough for the both of us.
He understands when I use the excuse "I can't, I'm making a human." everyday.
He understands when I make him go to the store to get something I NEED and by the time he gets back I refuse to eat it.
Needless to say I am more than thankful that I have him in my life to take care of me and love me.

Now being 27 weeks this process has gone by so fast but so slow at the same time. Sleeping is getting uncomfortable, my back pain is something I could live without, my exhaustion is only getting worse but in 3 more months and we will have a little baby girl here! We could not be more excited or more grateful for this baby and that I have had a healthy pregnancy so far. I know we are in for a big change but it couldn't be a better one. We are so excited to figure out this whole parenting thing together and to start our new journey as a little family!
