From celebrities to friends to fellow bloggers, everybody seems to be pregnant right now… including me! You may be even more surprised to learn that I’ve been sitting on this secret for 32 weeks. That’s right, I’m having a baby in July!
During my first trimester, I realized I wanted a space to document my pregnancy, but it was too early to reveal the news on my personal blog, Somewhere in Middle America, or here. So I created Bunny & Dolly to discuss my excitement and fear about having a baby and to keep track of my favorite things for me and him. Yes, I’m having a boy!
Being pregnant has been a remarkable and weird experience. Yes, weird. It’s controversial to admit this, but I can’t say I’ve truly loved sharing my body with this new little person, and I’ve had my more than my share of super emotional days. Then in March, my life got even more stressful: I began a new full-time job, my first in 3 years (yay!), and my husband deployed again (boo!). Needless to say, taking care of everything by myself – the house, the dog and my work – while growing a baby has been exhausting, which explains my two month radio silence.
But now I’m excited to fill you in on the past 8 months and look forward to reaching the finish line with you cheering me on!
Have you noticed a baby boom among your circle of friends recently?
Hooray for the baby boom! I can’t believe you’re going to meet your little man in just a few weeks. Will your husband be home for the birth? My brother-in-law was deployed while my sister-in-law was pregnant with their first son, and I have mad respect for women like her and like you! Hang in there — you look great!
I feel the same way like everyone is having babies! Must be the spring weather!! Congrats!!! I am 38 weeks and anxiously waiting to meet our little one!!!
