I've been having troubles with a nasty neighbour and a Strata council that continues to say they are going to do something about it, yet they haven't done one darn thing. I've also gotten a few doses of concerning news from my doctor concerning myself and my baby boy, who by the way is only ten weeks away from arriving into this world!!
A few weeks ago I was informed that because I have a negative blood type, there's a chance that if the baby has his dad's blood type my body could try rejecting him. Sounds pretty crazy but fortunately they have a handy shot called a Rogam injection (not sure if that's the correct spelling) which tricks your blood into thinking that it's neutral so when the two types mix there is no problem. I've had the first one, now I don't need another until the time of delivery, so that's dealt with. Then just last week I was told that my blood tests showed I was positive for Gestational Diabetes which I've been told can be quite common in pregnancy, but didn't make me feel much relief. I've since taken more tests to confirm and am waiting on the results. Waiting seems to be taking up a whole lot of my schedule lately. I'm excited to get the results so the stress can subside and I can make the necessary changes.
Other than all that things are going really well. The excitement is really building for us to meet the little guy that is going to forever change our lives. It's really starting to sink in that once he arrives things will change in a big way and for the better. Jordan and I are taking advantage of our alone time while we have it. We've made a few road trips, one to Grande Prairie to visit the family and also one to Edmonton to have a few date nights and have our maternity photos taken :D I've also been practising saying "My son" and"I'm a mom", it sounds silly but when I say it it seems so surreal haha.
When I look into the future I see one that is way different than I saw a year ago. Before I found out I was lucky enough to be having a son, I thought by this time I would be looking forward to getting a business license and getting my self out there to pursue my love/passion/obsession into a career. But now, all I want to do is be the best mom I can possibly be. I know that there are tons of kick butt working moms out there, but because this is my first child I can't imagine not spending every single moment with him as possible. I of course will pursue my dream of making my favourite past time into a full time career eventually, but for the time being my career of choice is #1 mom :D That being said for all of you who have been so nice as to compliment me by asking if I would do photos for you, if the timing is right of course I will! I would be so happy and grateful to be apart of your memories. I will never stop taking photos, I plan on continuing my Project 52 along with posting any other photos I take in the meantime. I also plan on re-vamping my website so all my prints will still be available for purchase.
Everybody in my life including family, friends and my wonderful Facebook "fans" have been so supportive of me so far and I'm so grateful to have the absolute best people in my life to share all these wonderful changes with. I hope each and every one of you is as fortunate as I to have such a great support system. I'm happy to continue sharing my life through the lens with each and every one of you and hope you stick around to see what's still to come.
Thanks again, till next time, Britt xo
(I promise I won't let it go this long again)
