Happy Emotions

I haven't really documented my emotional state of being throughout my pregnant just yet, but I felt like today was a good time to do so. I happened upon the video below and I did nothing but bawl while watching it. This is something I'm very excited for my little baby boy to know about me because I think it's one of the things that makes me unique. I cry....A LOT. And I don't cry because I'm sad...in fact, most of the time I cry because I'm deeply touched and happy about whatever it is I'm seeing.

This video for example:

It is so cute and creative! And while I'm not really sad I didn't do a time lapse video such as this, the reason that it made me cry was because it truly shows what a miracle bringing life into this world is. You get to see it all from start to finish in a short period of time and that has a powerful effect. I think when you're in the midst of pregnancy you can tend to forget about all of the progress that's been made and to me, the journey is well worth remembering, especially the outcome at the end :)

I also want to ensure that I document some pop culture items that have had an impact on my pregnancy. One of the most popular movies of my pregnancy has been Disney's Frozen. My friend Jenn went to see it before I did and told me how awesome it was. She wanted to see it again with her daughter and so I went with them. I bawled throughout that entire movie too (including the dang previews). This song below "Let it Go" is a very poignant piece of the story and I cried throughout the entire song....for various reasons. It was sung so beautifully by Idina Menzel, the graphics were amazing and the meaning behind the lyrics all contributed to my emotional response. For some reason that I cannot pinpoint I feel like it was special to me because of my fertility journey. I could sit and analyze each section of lyrics, however I won't. Just know that whenever I hear this song I'm glad I finally got to "let it go" and finally achieved the dream that I'd been wanting for so long.

Anyway....there are days where I'm super emotional - not in a weird psychotic way - but more of an overwhelming happy way and I can't help but cry because I'm so thankful for where I'm at right now. I have absolutely no doubt that when baby Gilbert finally arrives I'm going to have a total meltdown from the immense joy that I feel....crying is my way of releasing all of the intense emotion that I feel. Don't be surprised if our first pictures of us together show me as a sobbing mess! :P
