Maybe Not So Bad

As you all know (whomever you all are), I'm pregnant and engaged and loving life-not saying that I need a man or a baby to validate myself, but a family is something I've always wanted and now I have it-so who wouldn't be happy, right?

Sharing in my excitement, I decided that since all of my cousins (except for 2, that's out of like 20), all have their own little family blogs, which is a great thing, because we all live in like 7 different states and with kids and families growing, it's great to stay in touch. Naturally, I took it upon myself to start one for my little family and to let everyone know about it, I sent out a mass email. I normally don't do the mass emails, I try my hardest to stay personally connected to people and mass messages, don't always work.

So last week, I type up this cute little message and send it to everyone in my contact list and hit send. Then I realize (having baby brain) that I forgot to send the link, so then I send another one, with a spelling error, but whatever, I have baby brain, so it's excusable right? Sure.

Well, the one thing that may not be excusable is sending it to someone I used to date. The someone whom I've written countless blogs about (Owl with Iron Clad Panties, Return of the Toolbox, Toolbox-Friday the 13th, The Dater Who Wouldn't Die, etc). WHOOPS! That's all I can say,  for my action. I really didn't know that I sent to said person, until I checked my email the next day and saw his response.

Here's why, this posting is in Glass Half Full and not in GHE-because he was really sweet and supportive. He was happy that I was happy (whether it was fake or not, it's still nice). So, we've been emailing each other, he's actually getting a job in my neck of the woods-no, don't worry, no plans on seeing him anytime soon. Why would I do that to myself, my honey or the baby, right? I'm not sick, just dumb with baby brain :)

I don't regret my feelings I've had for this guy, good and bad-I mean, he really was a toolbox to me-but who am I to be mightier than thou? I'm not here to judge someone, plus, maybe we'll get a baby gift from him :) It's all about the baby, right?

People can change or grow or have a come to Jesus moment-whatever the case is, everyone deserves the right to change and who are others to not allow that to happen. You can't control other people's actions, you can only control your own reaction.

And that's one to grow on!

Happy Blogging!

Eating & Shopping for 2!

So another couple of perks about being pregnant is that you can literally eat & shop for 2 with no excuses!

I have yet to take on the eating for 2-I wasn't sick in my first trimester and I'm not sick, now that I'm almost 5 months-but my appetite isn't what it probably should be. Now, I'm not a small woman, I'm not a BBG (Big Bone Gal) either, more of an athletic build, I guess. But my stomach feels small and fills up more quickly. Plus, my sweet tooth (which wasn't that apparent to begin with) has almost completely vanished! A non-diary, frozen yogurt will do and usually lasts me a couple of days every now and then, but I must tell you-I cannot get enough veggies or fruit. I think it has to do with the water content, because I have never been more thirsty in all my life. Believe you, me-drinking water isn't a problem for me and I can say that I easily drink a few liters of water throughout the day and that's just water!

The shopping for 2 is easier for me to swallow (except for the bank account)-one item for me, one item for the baby, 2 items for me and my growing belly, one item for the baby who has yet to enter the world...etc. Again, no need to come up with an excuse and I'm not the type of lady or mother that would buy something designer, knowing that I or the baby will grow out of it. But much like water, I cannot get enough of finding little dresses or skirts-the most comfortable things ever and luckily for me, I live in San Diego, where I could get away with wearing them throughout my pregnancy!

Speaking of shopping-we have found out the sex of our baby and I don't think it's a surprise to anyone, but we're having a boy! I grew up with 2 older brothers, so having a little girl was making me nervous and all I really want is a strong, healthy baby-but having a little boy has made me giddy and ecstatic! I cannot wait to see him-in the ultrasound, he behaved much like a boy. Playing hide and seek, so we couldn't see his face-and he was stretched out, so there was no doubt that he is a boy! He let his man parts be known :)

Maybe I am growing soft as I continue to grow, but to be pregnant with a child is a real blessing and I thank everyone involved for their continuous support and love.
