It's been a long time since I wrote anything on here. I went trough a lack of personal time and lull in creativity when I started a very stressful and time intensive position as an Event Coordinator. However, I recently find myself with more time on my hands, renewed desire to create, and very unexpected baby boy on the way.
Honestly, after a miscarriage, several long discussions with Mark, and just getting older, I was becoming more OK with the idea of not having children. Not to mention, for some reason, I never considered that our child wouldn't be a girl. It's funny how life works out.
I have not been enjoying pregnancy... and I still have the entire 3rd trimester and labor to look forward to. It's mostly been a lot of vomiting in the beginning, difficult body changes, headaches, emotions, construction, expense, stress, worry, insomnia, and recently symphysis pubis dysfunction & gestational diabetes. Yet, knowing he is healthy and feeling him move around, is pretty great.
Since we are totally unprepared for a child, I have been making a lot of toys, decor, and other small things to prepare for his arrival. My family and friends have been ridiculously supportive and really helpful in determining what is important to do and focus on before and after his birth. Mark and I are extremely lucky to have such a strong support network.
Thus far, I have made him a playlist of all the songs I loved as a child, a Christmas stocking (for our house and my parents house), several stuffed animals, a Family Face Board Book of all the important people in his life, and I'm working on crocheting him a bathrobe.
We still have a lot of work to do to get our house ready for a baby (so much construction!), but I think we're starting to get there. Plus I am VERY excited for my family Baby Shower.
