The Circus Clown

So I am 16 weeks into this and starting to feel better about myself and what is about to happen to my new and improved life.  The one thing I cant stand though - is the "novelty" attention.  I know, I know, everyone is excited about the new baby and everyone wants to see the changes you are going to go through, but quite frankly its annoying!  I know this is a cruel approach to this whole bringing a life into the world thing and dont get me wrong, I am overjoyed about it.  But sometimes I feel like some type of circus act that everyone wants to get a glimpse of, or see the circus clown in action and its always at the wrong time!  I already feel fat, bloated, nausea, ugly and annoyed - I dont need anyone else gauking over me, or making fun of something I say or do.  One of my best friends compared me to Miranda (SATC) when she was having Brady - she was excited about it, but couldnt take the "extra" excitement around her.

I guess this is what celebrities feel like when people stare at them all day and watch them to see their every move.  I am going to have to get used to this for the next 6 months but I dont have to like it!

My Little Gummy Bear

I can finally speak now and I am so elated! For 3 long and dreadful months I had to keep my mouth closed about this wonderful news I received but truth be told my stomach would not allow me to keep it a secret any longer. My husband and I are expecting our very own gummy bear ( or at least that's what it looks like on the ultrasound) and couldn't be any more overjoyed. I must admit, I went through a roller coaster of emotions, happy that we are continuing our legacy and creating life. Blessed that God has given us the opportunity to create life. Sad that life as we now know it will never be the same, scared that I will not have a clue what to do with this kid when it gets here. Scared that someday I will have to kill someone else's kid for harming mine at the playground. Scared that I know nothing about baby stuff and everything about Gucci, Prada, my friend Mr . Vuitton and all their friends. Pregnancy is definitely an emotional rollercoaster that keeps going for a whole 9 months, but the end result is priceless. I felt like I should be more excited than I was, but when I saw real life like images of my little gummy bear it changed my life. There is actually someone in there, moving around and growing! What a miracle.


Anyways, seeing as though I had more fears than joys - I tried to figure out a way to conquer these fears along with educating myself about baby stuff. What better way to do it than blog about it! My event planning blog www.posheventplanning.blogspot.com gave me so much joy and was enjoyed by many, so I decided to the same with this one! So now, I have to change my focus from chic wedding invitations to baby shower invitations, and soiree decor to chic baby bedroom decor and suddenly I got that excited butterfly in the stomach feeling again! So, please stay tuned as I talk about the woes, I mean joys of pregnancy, provide educational information for moms and soon to be moms need to know about raising our kids in this ever changing world, along with everything that is Chic, Posh Baby stuff!
