How I Got Pregnant

My Getting Pregnant Story

It’s not what you think.. Not sharing kinky positions, just a funny story! Although I’m sure some of you wouldn’t mind the kink. LOL. We all know HOW it happened.

short pixie hair

 

I’ve never been very child minded, you won’t see me going up to babies saying how cute they are or ask to pick them up, but I knew one day I wanted to be a mother. As the years passed I kept on saying maybe a little later and so on. The thought of becoming a mother eluded me. I just thought I was never ready, it’s a lot of responsibility that I didn’t think I had the ability to handle yet.

This all started back when I decided to cut my hair pixie style (see picture). I’ve always had thin straight hair and mostly long (see picture) but I’ve never cut it this short, I mean the hair stylist used a razor on the back of my hair. I really liked it but I always go back to my long hair. Well as the time passed the area where the razor was used in my hair started coming in wavy, I mean super wavy.
 
I spoke to my doctor and all she could say is she’s never seen that happen, hair texture may change with time but I’ve never seen it in a patch, she also added that maybe something traumatic happened to me which caused an imbalance and suggested I see someone in the eastern medicine field that western medicine had nothing to add. (I didn’t visit anyone else, maybe I should have tried)
 

So now I have long hair, straight in the front and underneath the straight hair there’s a wavy patch growing. I don’t “do” my hair, I don’t use blow dryers or straighteners or curling irons, I’m not used to doing anything other than letting it air dry.

 
So I bought all of the items above and for a period of maybe 3 weeks I tried to fix my hair, but that didn’t last very long. I don’t know what I’m doing, can’t see what I’m doing and it just didn’t stick with me.
 
This still bothered me. Why is my hair like this??
 

Fast forward to March 2013, I had a the brilliant idea of stopping my birth control. I had been taking it for a while and I had switched to a new around the time my hair was chopped off. I figured, I would stay off it for a month to see if maybe the pill was the culprit. I also figured I would be safe from pregnancy since I’ve been on it for so long, I thought it would last at least a month.

Well ladies, not even a week. TA-DA I was pregnant.  Within a month I found out I was pregnant, I didn’t have symptoms other than I was feeling bloated, and that’s not something normal for me. I decided to take a test just be sure pregnancy wasn’t the issue. I cried. I panicked. I wasn’t ready. But are we ever ready? You only realize what being a mother really is once you’re knee deep in it.

But I have to say I was made to be Nicolas’ mother.  There’s no greater joy than to see his smiling face in the morning yapping away words that don’t make sense.  It really has given my life new purpose and in some ways I am thankful for my mess of a hair. 

Without it I wouldn’t have become a mother, not by choice. I don’t think I would have ever had the courage to actually say LET’S HAVE A BABY.  God had his plans and it happened when He wanted it, not when I saw fit.

What about you? Was it a conscious decision or was it an OOPS like my story was? I would love to hear your story in the comments below.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Both my little girls were planned but it took 5 years of trying. 8 years later and I'm torn between trying again for a third or enjoying my two little blessings.

    Great story! I planned both of mine but surprises can be wonderful too. After having kids, my hair has gotten so much wavier.

    I have four kids and literally only one of them has happened when I was trying to get pregnant. The rest of them were totally God – totally His plan and not mine. I can't help but think that's the way it's supposed to be. Your hair is beautiful by the way! 🙂

    Thanks for stopping it. Honestly I should have posted a photo of my hair now.. Maybe I'll update it with a picture. It really is hilarious at how different the texture within my own head is.

Have been diving into tutorials online, art specifically drawing fundamentals, signed up for a couple of domestika courses and acquired some professional supplies to begin. (I really mostly used my kids watercolor pallets before 😅) 
Excited to see if I can actually learn all of the basics and become a “real” 👩🏻‍🎨
