As a seven-month pregnant new mommy-to-be, my world is changing.
My husband and I were married in May four years ago. I've been a student, then a dropout, then a student again, then a dropout again... all the while maintaining a generally low-income student job. But there's a game-changer now.
We're having a baby.
So recently I've been putting time in trying to find a slightly better paying, less temporary job where I can work from home.
I've also been dealing with a wildly changing body. I don't think any amount of reading books or wise advice can prepare someone for what pregnancy does to you. I'm sitting here right now, typing while our little one is placidly rolling around in my tummy. I can see it, and feel it and it is so weird.
Yesterday I learned a little bit more about what I can take and what I can't. We had guests over for dinner last night, so I cleaned our whole house in one day and cooked a meal. We had a wonderful time, but after our guests left, I completely froze up! Turns out I have a too-much-work threshold now. Who would have thought?
I wish I could communicate better how excited we are for the arrival of our little boy. Every time he moves inside me, I want to show people (but by then he's still, of course). And it would be a little silly anyway:
"You'll never believe the cute thing my baby just did!"
"What?"
"He MOVED!"
