Soon, we will be 6 in the family. 3 kids, 1 dog and 2 adults (right now it's actually 2 kids with one on the way).
What is there to know about me?
- I'm a phys. ed teacher to elementary age girls.
- I have been married for a year and a half to Barry.
- We live in the suburbs of Montreal (which I love, by the way).
- Barry has two kids from a previous marriage, so that makes me a step-mom to Stew (17) and Jess (15). None of us use the word step-mom though, it just doesn't seems right. It's only with people we don't know that we use that word and it feels weird when it leaves any of our lips.
- We have a dog. We've had him for two and a half years. He is the love of my life. The kids joke that I would save Blue (the dog) over Barry if the chance came up. Sincerely, I'm not sure who I would save first.
- I am 35 weeks pregnant (can't wait for the darn thing to leave my body). I don't know if it's a boy or a girl and will only find out at birth. This is frustrating to everyone, especially Jess and my dad as they really want a girl.
Why the blog?
This whole pregnancy thing is getting me down. I am writing it in hopes that people in the same boat as me will be able to sympathize and offer support. I am an active person. I like to do anything and everything and since mid-October I haven't been able to do anything. This is leaving me frustrated and feeling like a lazy slob. It is no way has to do with the baby weight I've gained, I haven't gained that much. It's the fact that the body that could do anything before can't do anything now.
