Week 18 Reflections

I have never been so tired or hormonal in my whole life, and I am adjusting to my changing body and insane appetite, but I am still the happiest I have ever been. I imagine that this is what it's like to have a newborn... x10. A first pregnancy is so awe-striking, there are no other words. Although I still feel like getting engaged, saying "I do" and becoming a new parent are just as awesome... being pregnant is important in a different way because I conquered a fear. I hate feeling out of control, and day to day you have no control over all the new side effects and emotions. Because my body is growing a life, I've finally learned to surrender and it's pretty unfair that only women get to experience this. On Tuesday night Mo and I laid in bed for over an hour taking turns feeling teeny tiny kicks, that was pretty awesome, too :)It's exciting to be almost half way there, but important to enjoy every day of this.
