Hey everyone! I know I haven't posted anything in forever. I probably lose readers every week I don't post something. Good thing these aren't paid subscriptions.
Oh hold on. I have to pee again. And probably throw up too. Be right back.
So. If only I was this sick when I wasn't pregnant! Maybe I would have lost weight more quickly. JUST KIDDING!
I am really excited to have this baby. But along with the excitement of course, comes a lot of unsurety (is that a word?) and nervousness. Nope, I just spell-checked and unsurety is not a word. How can I be a mom? I can't even speak English. Do you capitalize the word English??? ARGH!!!
There is so much unknown. I know the Lord has a plan for us though, and he won't cause us to go through anything we can't handle. In 1 Corinthians he says, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." Even though this scripture is about temptation, it clearly says the Lord will not put us through anything we cannot handle. So I just need to take a deep breath and hold it for awhile.
But how will we afford this baby!!! Will we ever buy a house??? Can I have a raise??? Scratch that, can I just stay home and care for my child and quit my job!?!?! What about school? Which school is best for my children? What if they get picked on in school? Will they be popular or dorky? Somewhere in between? Will they have a testimony? Will they believe me when I tell them Satan is real and is working to tempt them? Are they going to go on missions and get married in the temple?
Ok, focus. All I have to worry about is right now. Getting through this pregnancy healthy and safe. I can worry about after that later. Right?
And how will I ever do a good job at home, work and church if I am trying to give 100% of myself to all three? How do you women do this??!?!?
This is why the human gestation period is so long. I need more time.
