LJ Idol Week 0 - Introduction
Introductions used to be hard. I used to have to think about what I wanted to say about myself and what I didn't. I used to agonize over every sentence of every paragraph, making sure every detail was perfect and that each turn of phrase revealed exactly what I meant it to. I approached this entry, this introduction with the same apprehension. I put it off right until the very last minute. I will, in fact, likely (edit: definitely, mostly because I was trying to decide which pictures to use ^_^ but also because my laptop is broken and I'm not digging the mobile app >.<) be late. I wondered what I would say. Now, sitting down to write it, I realize how silly I was being. I realize how easy this is.
Matthew Trinity, four months old today, is laying next to me in bed. And from the day I found out I was pregnant (one year ago today, during Idol exhibit B - seriously, don't drink the water! ^_~), he has been my whole world. He is and will always be the best and most perfect thing I have ever done. It's like everything I've done in my life has led me here. Has prepared me for this. So while there are a million different things that make up who I am (I like hot chocolate in my coffee; sometimes, there is nothing better than a trashy romance novel; I am a firm believer that if sisters and ice cream can't fix it, it's not worth fixing; I am one of those people that confuses boredom and hunger; I think that pregnant women are the most beautiful women, especially now that I know how that exhausted smile feels, and that every stretch mark is hard earned and well won and nothing to be hidden or ashamed of; I can waste hours - I kid you not, hours - on Pinterest; I am a karaoke junky and a sucker for dark beer and ice cream, together if I can swing it), I am, most importantly, his mother.
