Watch Out World

Well, we finally did it ....
Christian and I finally procreated.

I know, scary.

It is amazing. This is something that we have been wanting for a long time, and it is a bit surreal now that it is a reality. In thinking of having a child, all of my thoughts have been on rocking it to sleep while singing my favorite songs, reading my favorite childhood stories, sharing my background and roots so it knows where it came from. Now that it is actually going to happen, the thoughts of the sleepless nights, daycare, diapers and all the rest are starting to seep in. I can't pretend to know what it will be like. I don't know if we will have a little Lukas or Stella (although we should know that in a few weeks), I don't know if the child will be laid back or full of energy. I do know that I will love this little being unconditionally, and do everything in my power to give it the best (not easiest, but best) life it can have. I will try to teach it how to love and give. I will try to make it understand that it is extremely fortunate and should be aware of how it can help those with less (physically, mentally, emotionally). Hopefully, I will accomplish half of what I aspire to.

But, for now, I need to find some clothes that fit me, seeing that I seem to be expanding daily.
