Pink or Blue and all the Stress in Between.

We are a little over two days away from finding out whether Baby AJ is a boy or a girl and I wish that is where my focus was. Instead, I am focused on stress at work and the stress of finding a home to raise our family in.

Every once in a while, at the height of whatever stressor has my attention, AJ will start turning flips and kicking. Perhaps AJ is trying to remind me what is really important and shift my attention away from the negative. Or, at least that is what I like to think in those tiny moments where I, and I alone, get to feel him or her kick to life. The husband can’t quite feel movements from the outside yet, but hopefully soon. It really is an amazing thing and I hope to share it with him soon.

So, here I am, blogging at 5:30 am because I was up all night, my mind racing over the 101 possibilities for the way things may turn out – where will we live? when will things calm down? did I remember to do this or that? – when I should be resting. Little AJ is fluttering away, trying his or her best to distract me.
