*LOVE*
Well I'm officially 26 weeks pregnant! Holy moly it's flying!! Two more weeks until I'm in my 3rd trimester. Now THAT'S hard to believe!!!
Mom and I sat down with the budget and determined that I am indeed broke, so Adam and I will probably move in with her in a year. He will be 9 months old. Cute. So, it's funny how your mind changes once you are in the process of becoming a parent. I've always been big on having MY stuff, with MY feel and décor, etc. Well now, as much as the situation isn't ideal to be living with Mom, all I care about is making sure that he's taken care of with a full tummy and lots of love. And living with her, I won't be as stressed and will have more time and money to do fun things with him. I want him to be able to play sports and do fun things and this way it can happen! Because of this, I'm actually relieved. I can get us on our feet and then start up real savings for him as I continue to apply for Assistant Principal jobs. It's just funny how "my stuff" and "my décor" and all that doesn't matter now, he does. Guess that's my first lesson of being a mommy.
Overall I'm feeling pretty confident, his room looks great, I'm very educated on what I'm supposed to do and I know I *LOVE* all babies, so I can't even imagine how much I'll love my own. Every once in awhile I have fears...like that I will snap his head off or that he won't love me, but I logically know that's ridiculous and probably normal. My dog thinks I rock, so hopefully he will, too. I am getting SO excited about expanding my family. I love that once he's here, he will be here for the rest of my life. I just love that. And I love that I will get to be the one to take care of him. And I love that he will be so loved. My mom is amazing, and my friends are amazing and will eat him up, I'm sure. It just makes my heart so happy that I'm bringing my son into a world full of so much love.
Some sweet development news, Adam is opening his eyes and able to see for the first time this week. How cool is that?! Although it's pretty dark in there, he will be able to distinguish the different degrees of light. Love it! He's been kicking up a storm but soon he will start getting cramped. I hate the thought of my baby all cramped in the dark for 3 months! But I guess there's not much I can do about that so I will try not to think about it.
I have 3 more weeks until summer, and I'm SO glad. I feel like things will be slow until the end of the year and this will be great for my stress level. Dad and I are planning a very short trip to Colorado sometime in June but I want to be sure I'm back by July because I do not want to be away from my doctor for too long.
So yeah, that's where things are. I have my first baby shower in two weeks at work. I'm very excited and other than being hella tired and bowlingballesque, things are going great! :0)
