baby centric
last week, i found that another gal in my EQ guild is also expecting...our due dates are 1 day apart no less. (that'll change of course) i thought that was funny, odd and rather cool all at the same time. of course, it'll be her 3rd child, whereas its my first. so she's well practiced and totally laughing at me as i stumble through this pregnancy.
so as with everything i observe. now that i know i am pregnant...everything around me seems to be about being pregnant and/or babies in general. do you know how many commercials are either about baby stuff, pregnancy stuff or just have babies in them for no reason. yes Target, i am talking to you! in a short time i have become, very...baby-centric.
in realty, i just want this kid out of me, and i mean now. i don't like this whole nausea/cramping/tired/hungry/gonna puke thing...
a guildie said to me, "oh i envy you...your first child. its so much fun" (he was a guy, of course)
and i responded, "at this rate the first will be the only, i don't like this whole 'being pregnant' thing"
he laughed and said, "you're going to forget all this the moment you hold your new baby, and i will laugh at you when you tell us all you're pregnant again in a couple of years"
Hubby agreed with him. Men.
however, i am going to try to embrace this. enjoy it. now that people at work know, i feel much more relaxed. and 1 gal here is a mom of 4, so she snickers at me a lot now. everyone is asking questions, how do i feel? am i excited? are you going to find out the gender? etc.
but i should enjoy this. even if i do have another child. you only get to be pregant so many times (unless you're at the psychotic family out in Utah or Arizona or somewhere with 24 children!!!!!) and despite the less than pleasant physical attributes that are accompanying the pregnancy, i have to acknowledge, accept, and marvel at the miracle that is happening at this very moment inside me. a baby is forming. a child for us to love and raise and hopefully impart good values to and be proud of. that's a miracle...that's wonderful.
that's my new philosophy.
