Day 31...My mind is pregnant

I have so many thoughts running through my head right now. It's hard to sort them all out. From here on our weekends will be full of obligations and our free time together alone will be limited. This weekend was fantastic but it went by far too quickly...it feels like it was just a warm dream.

Also, my thoughts keep returning to the idea of family and the influence they will have on our baby. How hard will it be to draw boundaries? How can we protect our baby from unhealthy people?

There is also the questions of how we will handle pregnancy and a baby as a couple. Will we be able to stand united? Will we still have time to be close and romantic? This is a huge choice to make, bringing a life into the world...how do we know for sure if we're ready? I feel ready and yet...there are so many unpredictable turns...there is only so much we can plan for.

How will my body handle pregnancy? Will my body be able to bounce back or will I forever have a pregnancy poochy tummy? Just how crazy will my hormones make me?

I have so many thoughts and questions and I hate it that only time will reveal all. It would be easy to know everything...how things will work out, what exactly to expect...but I guess that wouldn't really be living would it?

Each new thought branches off into hundreds of new "what-ifs" and worries....I've gotten myself into one hell of a Pickle here!
