I just keep telling myself that this is life. People move on. The ones you thought would be your every day people choose other every day people. People move. They get married. Have babies. I think…no, I know it’s jealousy at its core but I don’t have to like people moving on and leaving me behind. Boo.
Saw this post on her blog and it hit me. No matter how much I want things to change and remain the same, things are constantly changing and staying the same. I know that doesn’t make a lick of sense no matter how many times you read it, but that’s about how I’m feeling. Maybe it’s a sign of growing up or even maturing. Maybe it’s a realization that life does go on, no matter how hard you try to hold on to what was. Maybe it’s my expectations are to high and people whom I thought had the same values and principles that I did, actually don’t. Or rather, have a different spin on things.
I don’t know that I feel this way because of the impending birth of my baby girl. Oh, have I written it’s a girl??!! It is - we found out just after Christmas, as in the 26th. We wanted to find out before and let everyone know on Christmas Day, but schedulilng conflicts prevented that. Everything is going well, we’ve been to lamaze class, the maternity ward tour, baby care & baby cpr class, have registered at BabiesRUs, and at this point, are just waiting around for her to come on out. She’s officially 32 weeks today so another 8 weeks left.
8 weeks till my life changes completely.
Just goes to show that life does go on, whether you want it to or not. It’s up to you to decide to keep up or get left behind.
Holy smokes! Congrats!
