Those raging hormones

This last week has been a BEAST! I would love to say that it's all the hormones, but I would be lying.

I was not getting enough sleep. Pregnant women are supposed to sleep more than usual, and my schedule last week was not allowing for any extra sleep anywhere. I hardly went to bed before midnight any night. Not to mention me stressing out Friday and Saturday by having some weird, blood colored vaginal fluid. So you could only imagine how exhausted I was by today. I had asked Jason before church to have our Home Teacher come over after church to give me a blessing.

Jason kept reassuring me that I was going to be fine, that I wasn't miscarrying. I told him that I knew I would be fine in that aspect, but that I need a blessing to help me calm down. To keep me from stressing out and being a hot mess cause I was running on hardly any sleep. And, when I don't get much sleep, I get very cry baby-ish. But, I got to have tears of joy today.

I thought about how blessed I am to have the life I do. My husband is great. He is the perfect match for me. And, we have this wonderful blessing that we made together growing inside me. That right there could get most girls with a soul crying. However, I didn't stop there. I had to think about the ever supportive friends and family I have. I may not see them everyday or talk to all of them everyday, but sho nuff, I know they love me and would be at my beckon call if I needed them for anything.

Knowing how very blessed I am caused me to be an emotional wreck. I talked to my dad later today and while explaining how I'm doing he said, "well sis, if that's the only reason you're crying, it seems like a pretty good one."

If you are reading this, you are one of the people that I feel so blessed to have in my life. Thank you for being in my life.
