Awkward and Awesome

I’m totally stealing The Daybook’s Awkward and Awesome idea. I mean, let’s face facts here…things are about to get really awkward really fast in the coming months. Why not celebrate it?

Awkward

  • Hanging out with a friend I haven’t seen in a year and having nothing but baby on the brain. I’ve become that girl already. This is not a good sign. My apologies, Kristi!
  • Trying to crack a joke with my family about having a kid. It went something like this: “Why are we having one of those?!? They NEVER stop MOVING!!!” Nobody thought it was funny.
  • Walking into a baby store and saying, very loudly, “Ugh, I HATE baby furniture!” and having everyone give me the stink eye. That totally happened.
  • Telling my dad I’m pregnant. Might as well have said, “Hi, Dad? I thought you should know that I’m sexually active.” Dude. I was not prepared for how awkward that would feel.
  • Asking us if our baby was an accident or planned. How rude, people!
  • Pregnant belly photos. No. Effing. Way.
  • Going to the girly doctor and getting completely undressed after she told me “bottoms off only.” I didn’t listen, so that was fun when she walked in.

Awesome

  • Having a wonderful husband who suddenly turned into everything I would need and more, like a butler, a maid and a nurse. He’s always been good at that stuff, but he is going above and beyond these days, especially when morning sickness kicks my ass.
  • Watching Drew freak out when he accidentally turned the page in a baby book, only to unveil another woman’s lady bits as she was giving birth. Awkward for him, completely awesome for me.
  • Being with my loving family on New Year’s Eve, which includes snuggling with my youngest niece.
  • Drew jumping on the bed at midnight on New Year’s Eve and saying, “2012 is going to be awesome! We’re gonna have a BABY!”
