AND THEN THIS HAPPENED

Sooo if the road to get here wasn't already challenging, the world wants to throw in a pandemic on ya girl. Trying to grow two humans while avoiding people who can breath on you and give you a deadly virus is absolutely nuts. I had this vision of this cute pregnancy but noooooo I'm on bed rest and quarantined so I'm double stuck. You know what that means? No maternity shoot, no baby shower, no visitors no nothing. I'm literally in the same spot all day everyday. It's not cute and glamours at all. With the shut downs there's no services being offered...hair, nails or wax! Get into it and settle in cause this is it for the next 7 weeks.

Not to mention we sold our house so we're living with my dad and his lady....all one big happy family. We went from a house to a room...my childhood room. As crazy as all this sounds, I'm still so very grateful that we have a place to land during this transition between having babies and moving out of town. It looks like armageddon outside. People with masks on going to stores buying up all the toilet paper and fruit snacks. Ok maybe not the fruit snacks but you get the point. Everything is on lockdown and people are scared. I can't imagine waking up one day and just not having a way to pay bills with no support. This isn't a political blog, but the little finger man they have playing dress up as the president is the epitome of narcissism which is a mental illness. I need him to snap into having some sense and stop being selfish long enough to do right by people....ok I'm done. Anyway...I'm 28 week tomorrow on Easter and I thank God for this testimony and keeping me this long.
Random rant: why is creating a registry so difficult. Us FTM (first time moms) have no idea what to do. I think my registry looks lost and confused and I'm hoping our friends and family with kids just get what they know we need. All of these contraptions and on top of that I need two of a lot of things. I'm two seconds away from wrapping them up in bolas t-shirts and calling it a done!
The part about your calmness and your mom gave me chills. What a beautiful, faithful heart she raised. She must be so proud.
