Something wonderful happened yesterday......well at least for me.
We had our church potluck yesterday. It was fun and enjoyable and I had a good time. Oh and thanks to Levi.....I won a prize cuz I was the only one who actually had a "ticket" written by an officer in my purse!!
I sat there eating.....listening to Elissa, Cami, Sadie, and Emily sit and talk all about their baby stories ....and I was like dang....I'm so screwed. Listening to all there little tid bits of knowledge and what they deal with on a regular basis....and I'm like .....I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm seriously going to bring this baby home and just stare at him. Thank heavens for moms! Oh well....I keep telling myself that if some 15 yr old girl can get knocked up and have a kid and it survives past the age of 2....then gosh dang it...I can do it too!
Well to the real reason behind this post.....the party was getting over and all. I was getting my stuff together and walking away and this sweet lady walks up to me. Now I know her but don't ever really talk to her...just know her from seeing her in church.
Well she walks up to me and says, "When are due? and "Do you know what you are having?"
Beaming like a 3 yr old given a free ticket to Disneyland, I replied, "In January and it's a little boy."
Do you realize what this means for me?......
This means I'm officially past the..."I just look fat stage"....the "oh my gosh did she just put on 10-15lbs this past month? stage." I actually look like I'm expecting!! Yahoo!!
This is glorious news to me! These last few weeks I feel like I have just shot out. Like someone took a bicycle air pump and stuck it in my stomach and just started pumping. Most of my pants I've been able to get away with just leaving them unzipped and rolled down and wearing one of those belling bands ...but as of these last few days....my hips are getting bigger or something ...cuz they just ain't fitting anymore. Sweet little Levi told me he would take me maternity shopping this weekend. (Well cuz I promised him I would take him shopping this weekend cuz the poor guy looks like an orphan and I'm not about to take him to Vegas looking like that!)
Oh and another good thing....I'm going to the chiropractor today!
You are so cute! I think you look great and how exciting that you're having a boy. YAY!
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh. I love getting past the "I look fat" stage.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right. You will bring that baby home and just stare at him. Because you won't believe what a beautiful thing you have, and that he's yours, and you created him (with help, of course). Then he'll poop all over you and you'll have a moment, and then you'll go back to staring at him in wonder.
Ah it's so fun to get a belly!
ReplyDeleteDon't let people scare you... I remember being a little nervous for my first as well and I always remember people telling me crazy stories. You'll be surprised how natural everything comes to you. Seeing YOUR baby for the first time will be hands down the greatest moment of your life. Having a newborn in your house brings such a special spirit into your home- they are so so precious and grow way too fast! So you just have to enjoy every moment- even the waking up in the middle on the night part =) You'll do great!
yay for looking pregnant! I think you are seriously cute. and don't let our talk fool you--I still don't know what I'm doing. :)
