Much has happened in the last two months. The most exciting of these things is that my husband and I are going to have a baby! After 18 months or trying and numerous rounds of fertility treatments we are expecting a baby in April. Hooray!
Pregnancy is crazy! The vivid dreams, the anxieties, the heartburn! It's a great and interesting experience. There are times when I'm in the zone at work and then I snap back to the moment and think "Oh my God I'm PREGNANT!!!" Like, as in, a human being is growing inside of me. Strange. Women have done it for millennia, it's natural and not hard (for some) to get pregnant, anyone (it seems) can do it... but when you really think about it, it's just....wow.
We are very excited and are eagerly awaiting the day when we find out if we are having a girl or boy. Work on the nursery has begun, as well as little improvements around the house. Our families are thrilled and have been so wonderful. The same can be said for work. Pregnancy is turning out to be this magical time where everyone is so nice to you and super supportive. Everyone is concerned about my dietary restrictions and how much I lift, etc. It's incredibly sweet actually and I appreciate it very much and do not take it for granted. I make a point to thank everyone for their advice, sensitivity, and extra care.
I do know, however, that unless you are pregnant, you don't really care about other people's pregnancies. It can be annoying so I will end the pregnancy talk for this post here.
The holidays are approaching, which I am looking very forward to this year. The holidays make me excited and sentimental any year, but this year in particular. I hope to start writing more over this season, with fun décor posts, food posts, and pictures my sweet sweet dogs, who seem to know that mom is having a "puppy" and are very protective. It's adorable.
Until next time....
Jennifer
