Sorry for being MIA for awhile. It has been absolutely insane. I will try to sum it up quickly so I can go to the main purpose at hand here --- THIS POST ;).
Vince has been in Minneapolis for work training. He started early April and he will be done mid May. Time is really flying by and I couldn't be happier. That means that my pregnancy is flying by & HE WILL BE HOME SOOOOONNNNN :D. Having him away for an extended period of time hasn't been as hard as I thought it would. I've found strength in meditating, praying, keeping myself occupied, and keeping me & my little man happy.
I ended up spending the past month at Vince's parents' house because I thought it would be safer since I wasn't completely alone. Just moved back to our cozy apartment this past weekend (figured I might as well get readjusted, clean, and organize before my man gets home). In the past month, we've found out that we are indeed having a BOY :), we went to our college Viennese Ball, spent Easter together, I spent a lot of time with my in laws and the puppies, crashed my car (long story as to what happened but I got a ticket for it - which I am def not happy about...), moved back to the apartment.... & this weekend spending time with my man, MIL, and in laws for Mother's Day.
Things that I've been pondering on:
- What I wanna do after baby boy is born?
- School options and if I still really wanna go to graduate school (what field, when, etc)
- Ideas for a book? Possibly....
- and this is just cause of Mother's Day - When is one considered a mother? While she's carrying her unborn child or only after giving birth to said child?
I was just wondering about that last one just cause I've been hearing varying viewpoints on it. I guess I feel that it should be fair that whenever someone considers herself a mom, that's when it should go into effect, but that's just my 2 cents. I say that because as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I had a bond with my baby & from then on I considered myself a mom (disregarding the fact of whether or not I would carry full term).
Other exciting thing coming soon - The baby shower &&&&& OUR WEDDING! 6.21.14 is gonna be a special day indeed (one LONG, BUSY, BUT SPECIAL DAY <3)
I honestly just can't wait to say "I do" to the man of my dreams :) I used to feel the need to have an extravagant affair but I've come to realize that all I need is him & close family and friends and it will all be special and perfect. Nonetheless, SO MUCH EXCITEMENTTTTTTTT.
Now onto the pregnancy part of things... (Sorry this is all jumbled up and not just focused on one subject. This post is particularly hard just cause I wanted to focus on one topic but at the same time I've been away for awhile so I feel the need to fill in all the little gaps and spaces. I promise to TRY to stay more on point & to come on more often so this doesn't repeat itself lol)
In 2 days I'll be at the 22 week mark. This pregnancy has been such an amazing journey. It's really weird how everything happens. I say this because now more than ever have I come to realize that NOTHING is in my control. People will come in and out of your life as they please. Opportunities come and go. Life flashes before your eyes and you realize just how valuable every waking moment is.
LIFE is so amazing and nothing is in my control, I've come to accept that fact more than ever. If it's meant to be, it'll happen.
K I'm gonna cut this post off right here just cause otherwise it's gonna be a novella. Onto my next post.......
