I felt a sudden jolt in my belly today. It was like a little tap from within, reminding me that there's another life growing inside of me. It's always such a surreal feeling, knowing that I'm going to be a mother soon.
I've been trying to stay as organized as possible with everything lately. From planning out the nursery to making lists of things we need for the baby, I've got it all covered. My post-it notes and notebooks have become my best friends during this time, helping me keep track of every little detail.
But despite all my meticulous planning and organizing, there are moments when I can't help but let my emotions get the best of me. Like today when I made an impulsive decision without thinking it through properly first. Now I find myself regretting it and wishing I had taken more time to consider things.
Being pregnant has definitely heightened my emotional state too. One minute I'm overjoyed at feeling those tiny kicks from our baby, and the next moment I'm overwhelmed with worry about whether or not we'll be good parents.
In between all the chaos though, collecting stuffed animals has become somewhat therapeutic for me. Each one represents a different memory or emotion tied to this new chapter in our lives.
As much as pregnancy brings its own set of challenges and uncertainties, one thing remains constant - my determination to give our child the best possible start in life.
