Ever since I found out I was pregnant, right after I accepted a new job, I've wanted to write about it. At first it was too early to divulge the information-- we wanted to make sure that everything was healthy and tracking well. Then I was too exhausted to find the words to write. Now that I've started to find the words, I haven't made the time to write them.
But even as the words are starting to come to me, I still have a hard time capturing the emotions of everything into words.
I'm growing a human, INSIDE OF ME. That is a crazy thought. I know it's natural and I'm clearly not the first person to ever go through this, but it's kind of a mind boggling experience. Despite my growing belly, it still doesn't feel completely real.
It's also hard to wrap my head around how much our life is going to change. Obviously, we knew life would change heading into this adventure, but it's still hard to put the concept into tangible terms until we have the baby. Just last night as we were getting ready for bed, I said to Adam, "it's not going to be just the two of for much longer." For the past 9 years, it has been just Adam and me living together. No roommates, no pets, just us. And now this baby. I'm excited, scared, nervous and a bunch of other emotions all rolled into one. Even with 5 months of thinking about this, it's still hard to put into words.
21 weeks down, 19 more to go until baby A joins this world.
