There's a bun in my oven... 12/26/2011
In January of this year I got the call that it was time for me to be a Mom in 2012. The idea of it was scary. Before I got the call, I was completely unsure that I even wanted kids. I didn't know for sure if I wanted to be married either. (Not that you have to be married to have kids, but it was something I wanted.) As time rolled on and I accepted the call - The Mister and I tied the knot on June 11, 2011 at A Day Away Retreat in Boyd, Texas. It was The Most Magical Day of My Life. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding or a supportive group of people to celebrate it with. After that, The Mister and I started trying, but not trying to get pregnant. It just wasn't happening. So I decided to surrender and trust that my 2012 baby would arrive just when it (although, I think, she) was suppose to. And just like that, 3 or so weeks ago, I found out I had a bun in the oven. Being pregnant hasn't been easy for me. I've never really been sick so not having a lot of energy and experience constant nausea has been quite the adjustment for me. I was even kind of angry with myself for feeling like crap for a while. I couldn't do the work I wanted to do. My house was a mess. I felt a lot less than chipper and on top of all that, since we hadn't shared the news with our families, I couldn't write about it here. Which is hands down, my most ultimate therapy. But things are getting better. Our families know. I can write about this bundle of joy, frustration, love and nausea all I please. And the sickness does seem to be subsiding a bit. It's an adjustment. A big one. But a welcomed one. Holding on for the ride, Megan Monique Comments12/26/2011 2:41pm
This is fabulous news, MM! I remember well the nausea and unbelievable fatigue of the first trimester - it will pass, my darling. This baby is a blessed, blessed gift - and s/he is so very lucky and wise to have chosen you. Megan Monique 12/26/2011 2:46pm
Thank you so much, Liz. I will hold your words close to my heart. ♥ Camber 12/26/2011 2:53pm
Being a mommy is a wonderful experience. Try drinking ginger ale to help with the sickness. CONGRATS Megan Monique 12/26/2011 2:53pm

Congratulations! You will be a great mom! What a lucky child :D Mazel Tov, sweetie! I've got 3 daughters (like half the Brady Bunch~ I call them "Marcia, Jan and Cindy" when I want them to roll their eyes) who are all pretty much grown, now, and I can tell you that motherhood was a scary/satisfying/cool/frustrating/doubting/fun experience! shari 12/27/2011 7:53am
