Realizations


I think I have said this before, but things never HIT me until they are over and done with. There to fore, I am fully expecting some of these realizations to hit me:
  • When we get in the car and leave the hospital, I am fully planning on hysterically laughing...or crying...thinking what the heck...they are sending us home with this girl!
  • When we get home thinking...well we are home, what am I supposed to do now?
  • Many times throughout the first week...when is someone going to come pick this thing up...wait you mean she's not leaving!
  • All the time throughout the first year...and beyond... HA I'm a mom! Poor Kid! Jared did you know we are parents! (since for well into the 1st and 2nd year of marriage sometimes it would just hit me and I would just randomly start laughing and look at Jared and say "we are married! You are my hubby! HAHA)
Things just don't hit me until they have already happened or far after they happened. I think it's a blessing because by that time it's already part of my life...I didn't really stress out beforehand because it never HIT me and now I am in it so there is nothing I can do about it anyways but keep going...I gotta say it's a trait I like having.

Also, even though I know those realizations are coming and I can sit here and think about it, it doesn't stress me out at all, I just think, Yup...that's probably going to happen...then my brain moves on to other things. - Nothing dwelling on or worrying about is going to do anyways. I'm sure there are many other realizations I will have after the fact, and some I have now that are just slipping my mind at the moment. Speaking of slipping...I've hit the clumsy phase of pregnancy as well, yesterday alone I think I dropped like 11 things! This does not bode well for our family since Jared is a little clumsy himself...Oh well...at least we both have a good sense of humor about it :)

Me last week at 28 weeks...now I am 29...11 more to go!

  1. I laugh because all of the emotions and questions you think you will have when you leave the hospital: I TOTALLY HAD ALL OF THEM!!! Especially when we got home. It was so bizarre....we had NO CLUE what to do next. :) With the first, you will have time to sit back and relax and ENJOY every single moment. I encourage you to do just that, even if you have some baby blues like I did. There is nothing like that first baby.
