So, after evaluating my last post I can go ahead and sum it up to being EXTREMELY hormonal and emotional.
Truthfully, my family has been the only constant in this whole situation, along with a few close friends. It's at this point that I will ask everyone for their patience and understanding while I completely melt down and enter the dark side of pregnancy and cry over things like dropping a grilled cheese sandwich on the ground or about my laundry not being dry enough. Yes, I have done both of those.
I have to wonder if pregnancy is like this for all women or if I'm in that special group of soon-to-be single mothers who feel so overwhelmed by the idea that the whole world seems to be crashing in with every passing moment. The littlest things will set me off...it's actually quite embarrassing.
I have many moments of sadness knowing that my baby is going to grow up without a father. I know how much growing up without one affected me and it pains me to no end to know that my son will suffer the same fate. Granted, he will be better off without certain influences but I'm regretful in knowing that my choices have and will effect him for the rest of his life. Having a baby always played out so differently in my head but life happens when you're busy making other plans, right? Yeah, so I've heard.
In other news, I can't get enough chocolate cake (which I am normally not a fan of) and being around certain people at my office makes me want to kick a puppy. I am halfway through my pregnancy and oh..it's a boy! Baby Jackson will be here around Christmas time.
I have finished my baby registry and not to be a shameless self-promoter but if anyone would like to help out a prego, I would certainly not turn away the generosity of the good-hearted people :) (yeah, I am a schmooze). Me and the kid appreciate any and all support, even if it's just a hug or some sort of desserty goodness! If for some reason you are feeling charitable you can see some sweet baby gear at www.myregistry.com. Look under my name.
Ladies & Gays, look for your baby shower invites in the next week or 2. The actual date will be September 17th or 18th and the invites will be coming from my Sis in Minnesota.
I hope everyone is well. Until next time....
