We're Having a Baby!

It's true! I'm pregnant, and Jordan and I are so excited! (Jordan's only been hoping for this since the day we got married, haha.) I'm due the beginning of April. I've actually been a little nervous to announce it, just because it makes it all feel so real. Thankfully, I've been feeling pretty good. Just a few food aversions, a little nausea, and a lot of exhaustion. Our baby is only like the size of a blueberry, but growing him/her seems to take most of my energy! All that being said, we can hardly wait to meet our baby, and I am thrilled (and a little anxious!) to be headed into parenthood. April can't come quick enough! I am dreaming about kissing those little toes and chubby cheeks! Jordan and I have been having so much fun discussing names, and you know I'm already planning a nursery!

I decided to make an ambitious goal for myself this pregnancy, and I need your help to keep me accountable. I want to go my whole pregnancy without saying or posting one negative, dismissive, and mean-spirited thing about my body. I can acknowledge the changes that I'm experiencing and be honest about the feelings attached to them and still stop myself from saying things like "I'm getting so fat." I realize what a blessing it is to be able to get pregnant and stay pregnant. I am going to try to show my gratitude for my body in creating and carrying this child by treating it kindly, in deed and word. Will you help me stay on track? I need your support!
