Wooooooohooooo! 6 months down and 3 to go. I'm feeling bittersweet about meeting our little girl in May. I can not wait to finally see her face, and fingers and toes, and hold her and love on her and have her meet her big, amazing, loving family. But I already know that I am going to miss watching my belly grow, feeling her squirm, and having her with my everywhere I go, all the time. The 2nd trimester has been a hugely emotional to me. There have been moments where I have literally been overcome with joy, love, and gratitude that Tory and I have created this little person and have been given the blessing of raising her and loving her and having her love us back. How'd we get so lucky? My love for T has also already started transforming. It is incredible to look at him now not just as my partner and other half, but as the father of my child. We have loved each other so well for the last 12 years and now we get to put all of our love together and give it to this sweet little gift, too. With all of the changes we've already had in the last year, we've got a new family motto that is driving almost everything we do everyday: TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK. I just can't wait to see how the D Team grows and works together as we do life together.
There have been many, many tearful days the last several months. Mostly tears of joy and overwhelming love and gratitude. There have also been plenty of tears shed over silly, inconsequential, hormonally driven-moments. Here are just a few of the weird things that have made me cry in the last couple of months:
1. Thursday... the end of the work week
2. The scene in The Theory of Everything where he gets his spelling board.
3. All of American Sniper (I was sobbing- should not have seen that in public)
4. The Rachael Ray Show
5. Leah Still
6. This Android Commercial:
7. This song from the movie Delivery Man:
8. Grey's Anatomy (I can't even talk about this one... I really dislike Shonda Rimes right now)
And here's a little bump update:
