Hello world, once again.
The good news is I'm alive. The bad news is I haven't been posting in months and months. First, let me apologize for the leave of absence without notifying you all. There was much traveling, many a hospital visit, and enough vomit that there is now a record held by yours truly. If I were to start explaining away where I've been in detail, you would be reading for the next three weeks. Instead, I'm going to leave the interrogating up to you guys! Those of you who would like to know more about what's been going on, leave a comment and I will be more than happy to share my life's events with you!
Anyway, down to the meat of things. I'm still pregnant, and at this point, I've got everything pregnancy can throw at you. Ladies, if you are pregnant or are trying to conceive, let this be a warning. You'll be miserable and uncomfortable and everything will make you sad, angry, and you'll never eat your favorite foods ever again. I don't know who pulled the wool over the eyes of women and told them the lies that pregnancy is a joy. Being pregnant is awful.
Now, before you exit out and think I'm just another soon-to-be mother ranting about circumstances that I've brought on myself, let me tell you about what is a joy.
There is a very good chance that you're going to be too sick to function, and even going to the OB to see your baby is going to turn your stomach. But the second you see that little blip on the screen, those first heartbeats you hear from your baby... nothing in the world has ever looked or sounded better. Nothing. Then, another month is going to go by and you'll wonder how your little bean is doing in there. At your next appointment, you'll get to see the arms and legs. Baby will start to look human instead of alien, and that heartbeat is going to be pounding away. For me, hearing the heartbeat always makes me cry.
But that's not even the best part.
In the past few weeks, I've started to actually feel baby moving. The first time, I wasn't sure what just happened. Then, baby bean moved again!!! From that moment, I've been housing in my womb the world's next karate master. Music, movement, certain foods, and even napping can make baby start to wiggle. The bean I'm currently growing, they love music. I play a plethora of different instruments, and it makes bean want to dance! When my husband sings, baby gets even more active. I'm sure there are scientific reasons as to why that happens, but for now I like to think that baby is starting to recognize our voices.
Instead of making some big long post about my baby, I'm going to leave this as a drop off kind of post because I want to hear about what all of you have to say! Any experiences you've had, or are looking forward to having, please leave a comment below! You can also give me a piece of your mind for the inactivity, you can leave a comment with that too.
Until next time!
Amber
