Family Values

Almost 18 weeks and the bump has sprouted out of no where in the last week. My aunts love to make fun of me, because unlike them I have no idea what it is like to be really big so I am complaining, being lazy, and using pregnancy as an excuse. I think it is a perfect excuse :)  They say I have no idea. I told them I was going to try to be as natural as I can, but they said "Don't try to be brave for anyone. Take the epidural". My grandmother, on the other hand, wants me to suffer and go through the pain. Not out of spite, but so I can see what it feels like and maybe not want another one. My aunts said that didn't stop my mother after me. lol. They are crazy. :)

My youngest aunt and uncle have told me they would adopt my child if I am not ready and my grandmother and other uncle have said the same thing. It won't happen, but to know had I been younger in a more stressful situation that they would do that for me and the baby makes me happy. I love them. Despite their sarcastic remarks they love me and are there for me. AND now, they will be there for the baby too. This baby will have nothing to worry about. My baby will feel so much love and I am so grateful of that.

I know I will be very happy with my little family. Ram has shown me so much and continues to prove to me how much my worth is. I can't describe how happy he makes me. And in the past couple of months, I have been very confident in knowing he is going to be a great daddy. I can't wait to start the next chapter in our lives.
