I can't believe that I've been 28 for over a week now.. how scary is that?! Wait. Let me rephrase this.. I'm going to be a mother in less than three weeks!!! How scary is that?! Yikes! I smile while I type this, because I'm freaking ecstatic!!! I can't wait to meet my daughter; miss Amelia Page Noel!!! I'm 36.5 weeks pregnant! I haven't worried myself with labor and delivery, just watching those videos online and watching lame lifetime shows about other women's pregnancies isn't something I want my experience to be like. Since Amelia is stubborn and still breech (feet first) I have a scheduled c-section scheduled for January 4th, 2012-- but whos to say that I'll make it to then? I've only put on 13lbs with her, kept very healthy and in shape. I'm proud of that, because she's almost 6 or 7lbs by now.
Looking back on the past 8 years-- ah my life has definitely been a road map of experiences. I've made the most absurd decisions based on my own selfish reasonings, all the exits that seemed enjoyable turned out to be life lessons. I don't regret any of them! For that I've turned into a wiser woman because of it and actually give out solicited advice.. unsolicited advice has been thrown out since my pregnancy.. It's ****king annoying.. (it doesn't stop there either!!) Awesome.
Anyway in the fall, I'm going back to school for my bachelors in Nursing. Between now and then I'm buying a house, because it's too expensive to rebuild back south of the tracks. I've heard $5k a year just in insurance cost, really?! Hurricane Katrina was a 1 in 100 named storm and six years later Mississippi residents are still paying ridiculous amounts of money to have their dream house shut down.. sad.
Having a child doesn't mean this is the end of my life. It's the beginning.
I'm content with it being Amelia and I. I don't need a man nor do I want one. Wise.
always, xoxoxo
