Growed Up

I am impatient. Once I know I want something I go for it, this is usually ok as I am the one in charge of me. Well it has made being in a marriage a little more difficult. Example:
Will you ______?
Sure!............................................................
How about NOW?.........................
Ok............................................................
Are you going to do _________________?.................................
I told you I would!.............................etc. etc. You get my point.

I have grown infinitely as a human being since I've been in a healthy relationship with my now-husband. It has taken us 5+ years to get to where we are now and if anything pregnancy has slowed me down enough to allow even more progress to occur.
Not everything has to happen RIGHT NOW, it's ok if the dishes get done in the morning- as long as they get done. All the things that I'm anxious to do are not necessarily up on the priority list for him, and vice versa- this is where that novel idea communication comes in handy.
If you tell your significant other WHY you want them to do something they are more likely to do it on your timetable, or closer to it, than theirs. Crazy right?!
I know this is probably nothing new to most people of the world, but it has been enlightening to me and I just discovered that by NOT continually asking my husband to do something, he is actually more likely to do it because I have not annoyed him into getting it done.
Yay for progress!

Belly Laughs

I have been relatively the same weight since high school, give or take 3 or so pounds. I have gained 9 pounds in one month and instead of being sad about it, I am ecstatic! I may not be so excited about it after this little man makes his debut, but that is another day.

I was worried that I wasn't gaining the 'recommended' weight for pregnancy... My baby is not only the right weight, he is a little big for his gestational age. We are both healthy and our path is just a little different than the norm, go figure. I am 24 weeks today and don't know how I will manage to make it through the next 14, hopefully less, weeks till I can see our babies sweet face.
