tomorrow we find out some big news about this
bambino/bambina kicking around inside of me. namely, whether it is a bambino or
bambina!
i can’t believe we are this far along in the process already. and i
realize that i haven’t shared nearly as much as i thought i might share about this pregnancy.
in the past four months, i’ve
been experiencing a flood of new excitement, fears, questions, and moments of “how
is this beautiful thing even possible?”--down right awe. but, i’ve also felt
more private about these experiences than i thought i would. so i’ve had trouble
deciding how and what to share about all the things changing in our lives as
this little baby grows. it’s been the most joyous and intimate season of our
lives.
plus, i figure:
one. if you've been
pregnant you can probably imagine how i’ve felt physically. how grateful i
am for bowel movements. how many naps my body begs for each day. and how
everything stops when you think you feel a flutter.
two. if you've ever seen anyone who is pregnant, you can
probably imagine exactly how my body is changing too. it’s growing. and
rearranging. and totally revolving around keeping this child happy and healthy.
yes i am growing a bump and all that normal stuff.
three. i’m not special or
different from every other woman who has ever gone through this.
but i do want to write, and
remember, and share some things about this time too. so i am thinking of ways to
retain the intimacy of this experience, and still document and share some of
the joy and important memories along the way! hope this all makes sense.
thanks for being such sweet
readers. :)
ps, did you become more reserved about things when you were
pregnant? usually, i just share it all here. and with this, that’s harder for me.
did you love sharing every symptom/photo/kick with the world? or were you more
private about it? guess this age of facebook/blog makes things so different!
