How do you like them apples? I post my first post and then disappear. I sure hope I didn't loose any readers.....all two. :)
Well, my disappearance wasn't because I'm pregnant, I'm not. I really didn't think I was, and I was also a little bit relieved. Of course, I would have been ecstatic if I was, but I still don't feel my body is up to the whole pregnancy thing. And yes, I do realize that my body may never feel up to it, but I've been trying to get fit before I get pregnant. Not necessarily to loose weight (although a nice plus), but to feel stronger. I know if I physically feel stronger, I will feel much more confident about enduring 9 months of pregnancy. I would also like my body to be nutritionally healthy. I've received criticism and negative responses from quite a few that I've told this to. "Your body is never going to be ready". I realize that I'm not going to be able to create a perfect 'house' for my baby. But I feel it is very important to get my body as ready as possible, especially at my age (38). I don't feel I've been extreme about this, but even if I was, I'd much rather be on the extreme end of wanting to have a healthy body for my baby than just not care at all. Oh and to the response, "Women get pregnant everyday that weren't planning and weren't' ready." Yes, I know, the difference is we are planning, so shouldn't that entail some 'planning'. Well, there's my brief vent on that.
Looks like I have another month to get my body ready. :)
Me
This journey begins with a lot of excitement and fears, which was the reason for this blog when I started it in 2010. It was meant to be an outlet for me, but after only two posts, I quickly realized I was a far more private person than I thought. Three years later, we are still on this journey and a lot has changed. I've come to realize that sharing this very personal journey may not only help me, but may help another woman going through the same thing.
A little about me. I've endured a lot of heart-break growing up. Through heart-aches I've gained strength, courage, faith, and the ability to laugh. I truly believe with God, loving friends and laughter, any soul can heal. I'm a strong and positive person, but I can feel this journey is testing the very person that I am. I'm grateful to have awesome women in my life walking with me. I'm also blessed with an amazing husband. I've had to be strong a lot in my life, but he has taken that burden from me, and I just couldn't be more grateful to have him as my husband.
