Is it real?

Sometimes it doesn't feel real. Yet other times, I'm very aware of what's happening and the changes that are coming. These hormones are crazy, let me tell ya. I've never experienced anything like it. One minute, I'm fine...and the next, I'm crying because the clean sheets still have to be put on the bed so I can actually sleep in it. It's times like that when I'm so thankful for my husband, because he just takes me in his arms and lets me cry, then gets me to talk about what's wrong or why I'm overwhelmed. After that, I'm all better again. I never used to get SO upset over something so tiny as getting off the couch to feed the dogs, or making the bed, or even the way the dishwasher was loaded! My, how things have changed. And I get even more upset when I try to put on a pair of jeans and they BARELY fit, because as soon as I got pregnant...I became really bloated. So these days, my wardrobe has consisted of stretchy pants. They are comfortable and I'm happy. Being pregnant is going to be one heck of an adventure. Good in alot of ways, bad in some. Right now, I'm just trying to cope with the emotional changes and that's a feat in and of itself. Poor Paul. And I still have no idea what each day will hold. Will I start having bad morning sickness? Will I have to quit my job because of it? Will we be able to save as much as I want to without having a job?

I'm just going to take it day by day and be thankful for everything going on right now. I am soooooo happy that I'm pregnant and we are going to have a baby next year. It's so exciting. And Paul will have a newborn when he turns 28. That makes me smile! He will have a child before 30, like he always wanted. God is so good and His timing is TOTALLY perfect. I am seeing that clearly now. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow :-)
