I have discovered that being pregnant is similar to buying a new car. I used to never see or notice a single Ford Focus Wagon around town, until I started driving one. I feel like I now see them multiple times a day. Joshua and I have noticed this with my pregnancy. Everywhere I look, there are other pregnant women. I have always noticed the occasional pregnant women, who appeared as though she was about to go into labor at any moment. I however, have never noticed the mass quantities of women at all phases of pregnancy. Now, I observe how big and awkward there stomachs appear and how they seem to be feeling.
I am so curious about the upcoming changes I am slowly starting to experience. It is strange how something so natural is so foreign. My body has already started a few changes. I am 18 weeks along and it seems like my little belly bump is growing day by day. I have felt, what I assume, to be a few kicks. I am patiently waiting for the those little kicks to be a regular part of my day. I am still wearing a few of my regular pants, but realize that the majority are in storage for awhile. I have realized that if t-shirts are not long, they work their way up my belly as I move throughout my day.
I am moving through my day as usual. Working, hiking and walking the dogs. I notice small differences in how I am feeling. Everything seems a little more tiring. Hopefully, I can continue my daily routines for the majority of my pregnancy. Time will tell.
