This is Real

Ok, so I neglected to blog this weekend (so much for the every day in May concept) but in my defense, it was a busy one!

On Saturday morning, Sean and I drove to Canandaigua where we met my family for my sister's graduation from college - she is now officially a Registered Nurse and I am so proud!

After her graduation, we went out to lunch and then Sean and I went to the library before going to Saturday evening church. On Sunday morning, we drove down to Pennsylvania to see Sean's family. The weather was mostly cooperative, so we enjoyed a nice drive and had a delicious cookout and good conversation. Both on the way there and on the way back, Sean said "I really love our life!" and it absolutely warmed my heart. I do, too, and there's still so much good to come!

So... today's prompt asked me to get real and write about something that I am currently struggling with. Well, as it stands, I am currently at that awkward pregnancy point where I don't fit into my regular pants without a bella band (genius!) but even then I am pretty uncomfortable. I also don't look pregnant (at least not to strangers), just very chubby in my mid-section (as if I downed a lot of donuts and have never, ever done a sit up). I realize that this sounds like a stupid thing to be struggling with, but my emotions are all over the place and I am being real about this phase of pregnancy. I bought a pair of maternity capris, a pair of maternity work pants, and a maternity dress over the weekend and am wearing the capris as I write this. I will be honest - I am SO much more comfortable today than I have been in a while. 

Before I know it, I'll be visibly pregnant to all, but in the meantime, please forgive my mini-rant!
