For 6 long days I worried, stressed about and was on the the verge of freaking out about being pregnant.
As you can imagine being 36 years old I have peed on a stick a time or two just to make sure I wasn't pregnant but I never once really thought I was pregnant. In the past it was always more like "I know I am not but just to verify I am taking a test."
This time I really thought I was pregnant. Really I did.
I had even come to terms with the idea of having a baby and started making plans...thought of names.
I even posted on facebook and twitter that I felt a change coming. Now I sit here wondering where is my change? Do I want change? I hate change? Is this my oppurtunity to make a change? Is there change? How many times can I say the word change in one paragraph? I like the song Wind of Change. (8 times).
Now I am slightly disappointed that the results are negative.
You read that right mom! I said I am disappointed.
This is a strange new territory for me. I have been pretty clear on this topic all of my adult life. I didn't want kids. Now I am all confused and reevaluating my path. And its not just me I have to consider, I have to take into account what The BF wants.
Now I am left wondering...do I REALLY want a baby?
There is no easy answer to that but I know I need to do a lot of thinking and talking. And I need to do it soon as my Dr. told me a few years ago...I am not getting any younger.
Regardless I feel like I am at one of those moments in life when you get to choose a new direction. And now I have to ask myself, is that what I want?
And what does The BF want? That to much lets just focus on what I want...I don't know what I want.
I am not a fan of these moments. I was enjoying my life the way it was going. Nice and easy. Now I need to think and have a deep conversation with The BF.
I was in your shoes once too; I'm not envious. Just stopping by from the SITS Comment Hour.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann.
DeleteHi MJ,
ReplyDeleteDoes your BF wants kids? Have you talked this over with him? Did he know that you thought you might be pregnant?
Ooh - major stuff! :)
~Tui, from #commenthour
Yes he knew and he says he doesnt have to think about it until I decide one way or the other. Boys are weird.

Ya know I type one handed all the time like right now: I have baby in one hand and am typing with the other. Your accident could be a fortuitous opportunity to practice some near future, to be needed skills.
ReplyDeleteKidding aside, kids are great. Lots of work but great. Serious decision.
Well then I really need to get the dragon.
DeleteJust so you know that was not funny I read the title ran into the bedroom waking Tiffani saying you were pregnant...now she is not going to like you cause you made me wake her up
ReplyDeleteI am not responsible for anything you do
DeleteI know that feeling of not being sure if you're excited or not. More power to you as you try to figure these feelings out!
ReplyDeleteThank you...I need to do some serious soul searching.
DeleteYou are such an under achiever. You could have at least used the word Change 10 times in that paragraph. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy status on FB earlier this week was that it is ok to change your mind :-)
Good luck with your decision making. :-)
I really loled when I read your comment.
DeleteOh, and a friend of mine who never wanted kids but has sense softend on that position now has an if it happens I'm ok with it, if it dosen't I'm ok with it, approach.
ReplyDeleteI am almost where your friend is but now I need to talk The BF into the same attitude.
