Too busy to blog?!

Where have I been?! Mostly I have been focusing on school work - no time to blog at all! I had a paper due last week and starting another, on top of working on a group assignment. Life has been hectic to say the least.

But the good news is I am almost 21 weeks pregnant!

Look at how round I am hahaha! Today was the first day that I actually felt some real movements that I could not attribute to gas. It feels like our SON, yes a BOY, is drumming below my belly button. It is the most magical feeling ever.

Lieutenant and I went to pick out a crib and fell in love with it even though it was 3/4 the size of our couch. Since we live in a small one bedroom apartment, the crib is in the living room. We are going to get a bedside bassinet in the beginning though. I feel grossly unprepared but he assures me that everything is going perfectly. He is going to be a great father!

As far as stress goes in our lives, there really isn't anything. Our relationship is solid and we are happier than we have ever been, financially we are doing okay even with the impending birth, and despite our Labrador being a pain in the butt and chewing on things she shouldn't be, everything is okay. We may not have it all but what we do have is perfect for us right now. I'm sure financially it may get rough at times but as long as we stick together we will be okay.

It makes me sad to read things certain people are posting about how their children and spouses/significant others are a burden to them. I don't understand why these people are choosing to have children or MORE children if they feel like they add nothing to their lives but stress. Your partner should be there to support you and vice versa and your children should be loved regardless. They didn't ask to be brought into this world so why make them feel bad for things that ultimately they cannot control? Lieutenant and I went through a LOT before we ever decided to get married and definitely to be having our son. Jelly Bean was planned but not for three years but we are okay with that and thrilled by it. We would never make him feel bad about him arriving a little earlier than expected.

Anyway I just felt like I needed to get that out. It has been bothering me for the last couple of days and I wish I could say it all to the actual person but I know it will fall upon deaf ears.
