A whole 7 months have passed since I last blogged and a lot has happened in that time. Obviously recounting everything is a bit pointless because in hindsight it would seem the most memorable events and things would've somehow made it's way into a blog. But, it seems the real reason is not lack of memorable events but lack of time because there was too many memorable events.
In late January my suspicions grew and grew and in early February it was made quite obvious to me that I'm pregnant. Since then it's been a whirlwind of event after event and nonstop moving around, nonstop work and nonstop feeling elated.
It just occured to me a few days ago that I have got what I wanted for a long time. Obviously the last seven months have been full of excitement, emotions, expectations but only recently it hit me that I had wanted a baby for so long and very soon there will be a little person in my arms.
But this aside, I have been living the last seven months through the eyes of a pregnant person and so much has been made clear to me. Many things have annoyed me (belly touching and rubbing, asking for the sex of the baby, unwanted comments on appearance, unless it's complimentary) and many have made me realise new things.
The bigger things are that my life, our lives our changing on such a bigger scale than I had imagined. In the last few short months it has been decided that I will move country, leave my jobs behind, plan financial situations and consider a completely new life. Ofcourse I'm lucky that I'm able to make these choices for my unborn child's benefit and make the changes. Not many people have this privilege and I have to keep reminding myself that life is beautiful, it goes on regardless of changing events and all you have to do is embrace it with joy.
I'm wholly looking forward to my impending new life and cannot wait get 'stuck in.' I hope there will be opportunities for me to blog more regularly about it all. but either way, it never fails to amaze me how so much changes in such a short amount of time.
