It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that there is a HUMAN inside of me, first off--and secondly, get used to the fact that I'm going to get BIGGER.
Like a lot of ladies, I've always had to watch my weight. I try to eat healthy and work out, but even with that, sometimes my pants start to get tighter and tighter until they're no longer comfortable. Typically at that point, I'd start being more intense at the gym until my weight was back where I considered it "acceptable."
Now, getting bigger is part of the program. I'm not complaining, just saying it's going to take some getting used to.
Here's our little nugget!!! |
On top of that, the season of giving thanks is rapidly approaching, so I wanted to take a second to ask you to partner with me in either Walking for St. Jude's and/or contributing financially. If you've kept up with my blog for very long, you're more than likely aware of Isaac and I's journey through cancer and although I don't worry about it now, I still like to remind myself that there are other people who are just experiencing the freshness of a diagnosis, the nausea of their first chemotherapy treatment, or mourning the death of a friend or family member who passed during their treatment.
I'm planning on offering my hair cutting services for the month of November in exchange for donations toward St. Jude's. I would love to raise $1500, but was actually going to only write $500 as my goal because I dislike "failing" so much. However, I'd hate for someone to decide to give less because my goal was so small, so I put the true amount on there. Now I'm nervous I won't make it, but... we'll see!
