I always wonder what it would be like to be pregnant! I know you all likely know that I have had not had any luck with becoming pregnant *yet* but hopefully it is still a possibility for me- not that I don’t enjoy my fur babes,and David and I have also talked a lot about adoption as well. Don’t worry I promise this isn’t going to be a depressing post- I am going to try to keep it upbeat and just kind of light hearted! I just kind of wanted to get a few thoughts out there!
There are a few things I hope for one day, if and when I get lucky enough to get pregnant. Of course, first and foremost since it has taken so long I hope that the pregnancy is healthy and everything goes the way that it should- Obviously, other than that nothing else really matters! But while I am dreaming- here are some of my hopes & wishes:
I hope that I have a comfortable pregnancy! I hope that I by pass being “really big and pregnant” in the summer time because I think that it is already hot and miserable enough so I would hope that I might would actually get pregnant in the summer and then.. BAM avoid all of that!
Also related to being comfortable I hope that I can manage to find a way to sleep that would work for me! I know I am good with naps and all that kind of thing so that might actually come into play- but I am one of those people who has always slept on their stomach so- I would have to find a different way to sleep! I generally do sleep on my side but I wake up on my stomach- and sleeping on my back is just not my thing but I would make it work either way. I think that learning more about pregnancy pillows would be a big help, and I would more than likely have one!
I hope that I get to be more involved on planning for the arrival of the baby and getting ready for it than I got to do for the wedding! I was working when David and I got married so I had to bypass most of the wedding planning and let my mom take over. It isn’t that she didn’t do great – but I wish I could have been a little bit more involved. Of course we didn’t have but 4 months to prepare for the wedding and with a baby I’d have 9 🙂
Related to that would be of course being able to plan the baby shower! Â I know that no one in my family would likely go off of a registry but I did help my friend Carrie do one and it was really fun and I think I would like to do one! You never know , but I might end up having twins and have to look into getting a double stroller– twins actually are really common in my family (My dad has twin brothers and a twin brother and sister +I have a few twin cousins!)
Years ago, when I first had my beginning stages of cervical cancer and I had had the 2nd surgery, my mom and I were in walmart one day. Now I hadn’t even got a clean bill of health at this point and they had some party packs on sale that were for baby showers. I thought they were so cute- one had decorations, one has like cups and plates and then I think there is one with invites. I kind of tried to take it as a “sign” that everything would be o.k. if I bought them and that I would get to use them. I honestly do not know where they are right now- they must be somewhere at my moms because I have went through everything in the house while doing the yardsale prep and I haven’t saw them. I just know they are still around. Anyways, she agreed to get them for me and we picked a neutral of yellow.
So I guess. on some levels I am a little bit prepared for things – but I would likely just change everything up because unless I had more than one shower there would not be enough of any of it! Perils of being from a large family right? I guess we could use it if we had one with David’s family but- ha ha just laugh you know how they are -I doubt that a grandchild would be any different!
I actually kind of already know what kind of nursery and what not I would like- but of course my dreams are of having a girl so if I were to have a boy I would be totally threw for a loop!
Hopefully one day I will get to write that blog post that says we are expecting and share pics and what not … until then I am fine with dreaming for a little while longer!
