So being pregnant is an interesting thing. I know I’m a girl, but I’ve never really thought much about pregnancy. In fact as a kid, I always said I just wanted to adopt. As I got older, of couse, my desires changed, but still, for whatever reason, I didn’t pay any attention. I guess I thought that part of my life was a long ways away.
Well, suddenly I find myself here. I’m pregnant. And while I’m so excited, at the beginning I felt somewhat clueless. Really, I had no idea I was going to feel sick all the time! I had no idea that I’d wake up 10 times every night! I had no idea that for the last 2 months I wouldn’t be able to stand the thought of grocery shopping (all that food makes me sick!). So I’ve worked at learning a lot. I bought a book or two, joined a few website discussions, and take all the advice from friends that I can find. Fortunately, I’m one of 5 pregnant girls at my church right now, so I’m not alone! Plus, God has blessed me with an amazing husband who has been a HUGE help with cleaning, grocery shopping, even cooking! (Now that I know he has these talents I might have to continue to put him to work:) I’m so thankful for the wonderful people God has placed around me! And thankfully, the sick feeling is lessening and I’m starting to be able to do more and more again. Hopefully, by God’s grace, I’ll get back to almost normal (life is never normal when you’re pregnant from what I hear). And now, I’m paying attention.
