Parenthood

So, Robert is really cute about the whole pregnancy and having a baby thing. I will catch him looking at my belly with a big smile on his face. He is so excited about baby Eli and is going to be an AMAZING daddy :) Since Robert and I are complete opposites, and complement each other, Eli will get to see both sides of our personalities and will hopefully have a little of both himself. I hope Eli will learn how to be sensitive and emotional from me, and practical and logical from Robert. Robert will teach him when to be laid back and I will teach him when to get riled up :) I think that Robert and I are going to make a great team. When I get stressed out and overwhelmed, Robert has a way of calming me down and bringing me back to reality and when Robert is being too mellow, I have a way of helping him be more sensitive and caring.

Being pregnant has mellowed me out a lot. I can tell you that for sure. Things that I used to be OCD about, such as not going to bed with dirty dishes in the sink, or not leaving the house without making up the bed, have went out the window. I am learning how to not let little things bother me and how to relax more. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I am growing a baby inside of me and taking care of him and giving him the best is more important to me than dishes, laundry or making a bed. Not that these things aren't important, but they aren't my first priority anymore. I am excited, scared and nervous about being a mom, but I know that it is going to make me a better person and it is going to be the greatest experience of my entire life... I can't wait!!! Just wish my mom was here with me to give me advice, support and encouragement. But, I am blessed that God has placed a lot of amazing people in my life to help me along the way!! Thank you Jesus!
