It's a ..... Gummi Bear!!

So ultrasound number two occurred a few weeks back and beyond confirming once again that yes, this is indeed happening, it was nice to see that our baby has grown from a piece of fuzz into a gummi bear. I will add the picture in if I can get it to scan but our little one has a Ginormous gummi head with two little gummi stub arms and gummi stub legs. The size of the head is really a little bit frightening at this point but the baby books have assured us that things will even out at some point down the line (although Kevin does have to have hats specially made... just saying...). Anyway, the whole experience thus far has been a huge lesson in vulnerability. I always expected that having a little one would teach me that it's not all about me or what kind of crazy unrealistic pace I can tackle life with. However, being hit with that fact like a ton of bricks requires a little bit of absorbing and getting used to. I am the first to admit that I probably needed something like this to ground me and between Gummi and his father, they are doing a great job. It's hard to put up a fight against two beings that I love more than anything and thus, I am TRYING to learn what it means to take it easy. I am not saying I like it and quite frankly, I feel at a little bit of loss (as in, if I am not the girl that runs around a mile a minute and tries to accomplish everything than who the heck am I) but I hope I will find peace in the fact that I am someone's partner (with the HUGE privilege of carrying his child) and soon to be someone's Mommy. Everything else (in the famous words of Kathy Griffin) will just have to suck it.
