Pregnancy Blog (aka "No Pressure")
So I wanted to start a pregnancy blog. As I write this, I'm over 20 weeks and I haven't had so much I want to say since I read Love Wins by Rob Bell and discovered my sexuality and its various personal milestones. But since 20 weeks of THINGS have already happened undocumented, I not only want to blog about the current events in my new vicarious-baby-having life, I want to chronicle the last events of 2018 that led up to this, and maybe fill in the blanks in the last, oh, 7 years I been gone.
I have a lot to catch up with.
Some of my entries will be current What's Happenin' Now stuff, and some of them will be by topic, such as "Morning Sickness," "Breastfeeding" and "Oh God the Pain." The other way I will chronicle entries is by month (1st month, 2nd month, etc). That's the plan anyway. (Shit, I used the 'p' word, now it will def go completely awry... maybe if I edit this and just call it a "vague idea" instead...)
To start with, here are my current stats:
-learned I was pregnant in late Feb
-baby due Oct. 20
-it's a girl!
-name chosen is Tanith Rose
-passed all health tests with flying colors so far
-I'm in week 20 meaning I'm at the halfway point already! Man, 4 1/2 months just flew by. (ok not really...see future entry "Oh God the Pain" for more on that later.)
-baby daddy is my husband of 4 years Martin Wyatt. Yes, he took my last name. We married on May 24, 2014 and recently celebrated our anniversary. If you're wondering, he's 20 years older than me, and no, I don't give a crap. Love is love.
-this is my first pregnancy ever and will be Martin's second child (his 1st is now 18)
To be continued.
