I'm Back And I'm a Mom!

I intended to document my pregnancy on this blog, but pregnancy was somthing very strange. My body and emotions were changing at a rate faster than at puberty. I don't know how I thought I could ever document my pregnancy when I had issues telling my own mother about when I got my first period... there wern't pads in the house in the cupboard and I waited for 2 days till the pain from the cramps was unbearable and stuffing toilet paper in my underwear couldn't hold the flow... I'm just not someone who can openly talk about her body or sexuality that easily.

While I enjoyed much of my pregnancy (2nd and most of 3rd trimester) there was so much changing in my body and mind it was hard for me to even understand what was happening , let alone write it down. Now, on the otherside of pregnancy, my body is foriegn to me compared to what it was a year ago. Although it took 9 months, these changes are drastic to me.

I hope now to share my experiences of motherhood. This is somthing that feels far more natural to me than pregnancy did. I can look back now on all the effort that pregnancy was to see it was grooming my body and mind and heart ( and my husbands patience) to become the parent I am now.

I'm just so overwhelmed with love for my little baby. And amazed by how natural the process seems... even the hard moments when he's screaming in my ear for me to fix somthing that I don't understand.


I just have to get some of this out, and hope you will enjoy it in the process.

Dream

Last night I dreamt that I was about 16 or 17 and was accepted to a university far away ( BC I think) in Canada for early admitance. I was in the process of trying to figure out how I could graduate highschool quickly and move somewhere else in Canada for School. My parents thought I was making a big mistake and told me that there was no way they could help me pay for school. I told them I would do it all myself and would work for every penny if I needed.

Then my dream skipped ahead

In the summer I moved across Canada to live with a friend to save money so I didn't need to get my own apartment. I don't know what friend but I can only assume it was Kathryn. I was working as a waitress in a burger and french fry place. I took all my tips and money I earned and put it into a card board box with all the bills stacked neatly side by side and never counted how much I had. From my memory I had mostly all 10 and 20 dollar bills but all the bills were organized all the twenties together, all the tens together and a few five's. All the heads facing the same way. Very neat and tidy.I didn't have anything over a twenty. I refused to count it or even look at it for very long. I just kept saving the money and putting it under my bed.

After the summer passed my Parents came out to try to convince me that going to university in a few more weeks was still way to early for my own good. They were trying to get me to come back home. I remember arguing with them in my small bedroom while wearing my waitess uniform. I was trying to tell them there was nothing more for me back at home and I really wanted to start making a new future for myself. Then I felt the need to show them I can do well for myself and pulled the money out from under my bed. My dad thought I must have stole it. My mom wanted to count it. I couldn't belive my dad could think I could steal. And I didn't want my mom to count it. It felt too private for her to know how much was there.It was my money and I didn't even know how much it was. She said there must have been 5 or 6 thousand dollars and no one could make that much on a waitresses salary in a summer and that it would still not be enough for university.I kept stopping her from counting it. When I went and grabbed at the box all the money fell out and fell like leaves all over the ground and lost the order that it was in.

Then they were holding on to my box of money and standing over what fell and wouldn't give it back. They were using it as a ransom to make me come home. I told them I wasn't coming home and I wasn't going to be late for work because of them. That I didn't want them to take my money away from me because I worked hard for it. But there was nothing I could do to stop them. I was very angry but left for work anyway with them sitting on my bed with my money. I remember walking in the rain away from my room with the firm decision that I was going to continue with my decision, but crying cause of how hard it would be without their support and sure that they would take my money from me. I saw my restaurant where I worked ahead of me, brushed some tears off my face. and as I pushed through the doors to enter work I woke up.

Back from the Dominican!

We are back and there is lots to tell... but a little tired right now and I need to unpack...

So , you can look at this dominican sunset until I'm back.

We leave TODAY

It's been a Crazy couple weeks getting ready for this Vacation, and now it's Finally here....We leave TODAY!!!

I had to slave myself for every hour at work these past 2 weeks in order to get everything ready to go. Then there was all the last min run around picking up Peptobismal, sunscreen,Visiting the Doctor before leaving. Then of course, we went to the tanning salon a couple times so our pale pale skin isn't shocked the first day we are there.

Then there was packing, who knows if your actually going over the weight limit right? So her I am, rigging a way to weigh our huge luggage bags on out tiny bathroom scale. We are allowed 44lbs each for checked baggage, and 10 lbs each for carry on. my luggage weighs out at 35lbs , Drews at 36. then I went to weigh our carry on... it din't register, OH NO what if it's innacurate!

So then I dug up the weightlifting weights we never use out of the basement. I put on 35 lbs - it's accurate. I put on only 15lbs - It's accurate. I put on 5 lbs- it doesn't register. 3 more pounds to bring it to 8, doesn't register. Put on a 10 pound weight, It registers!!!

So as long as our carry on does not register, it is under 10 pounds :)

Jen was going to be our ratty godmother while we were gone but poor Jen is plauged, so we are leaving our pet rats with my sister. ( Get better soon Jen! ) Our original ride to pick us up at 2AM Monday the 27th fell through, so we are going to try to canvas our friends this morning so hopefully Drew won't need to drive home after our flight, and so his car doesn't sit in a Park n Fly parking lot, when it should be sitting at the mechanics.

Other than that, We are so super excited. We've refered to this as honeymoon Version 2.0. We had a wonderful time at our northern lodge, Drew did kind of wish for a more tropical Vacation . I think we are pretty lucky, WHo gets 2 honeymoons in their first year of Marriage??

So we leave today, We hope you all have a wonderful week. It would be great if you could join us, but you just won't all fit in my suitcase!

Lotsa of Love
