Reason #1754734 why this life isn’t for the faint of heart

I’m 37 weeks pregnant with my first baby, drowning in hormones, and I caught my husband sending SS10 photos of him as a baby (Google Photos likes to remind hubby of these things). It hit me harder than I expected.

If you don’t have kids yourself, let me just say this—when you’re carrying your first child, the last thing you want is your husband getting nostalgic about the baby he had with SOMEONE ELSE. I know he didn't do this to upset me, but it hurts knowing that's something he thinks about, especially as we have our own baby coming in a few weeks.

I say all of this to say: if you question whether or not this life is truly for you, RUN while you can.

Before anyone jumps in with "you need therapy" or "it’s just a photo," PLEEEEASE just save it. This is the only place I feel like I can vent without judgment. I’m feeling very pregnant, emotional, and overwhelmed as my due date gets closer.

Thanks for coming to my pity party—I'll try not to stay here too long.
