Decisions in Life

I probably have talked about this subject before, but today and recently my mind has been wandering back to an old topic that my mind often thinks about.

As silly as it sounds, I have gotten sucked back into an old soap opera that I watched like 20 years ago called "Days of Our Lives." I wasn't really paying attention to today's episode as I prepared my veggie chicken sandwich for lunch...but it made me realize that the whole theme of soap operas are basically good versus evil. Then it made me think about life and how little choices shape the way to our whole lives. The littlest decision can have the biggest impact on your whole life, although you may not realize it at the time.

I often wonder if I had chosen a different career, where would my life be now? Would I have stayed in Indiana? And if I hadn't, where would I have lived? And who would my friends be and would I even have a husband? I am a true and firm believer that things turn out the way that they're supposed to (as I type this, I'm sure this is somewhat of a previous post). I often question my decisions in life and wonder if I made the best choice for myself since it's difficult for me to make decisions.

Our decision to start a family is a frightening one. Our whole lives are about to change. I wonder how the baby is going to change me, change my husband, and change our relationship together. I know that we have been able to have a good relationship together just the two of us, but what about when it becomes three of us? Will our relationship continue to be as strong as it is now? These are all thoughts that cross my mind.

On a side note, I watched this show called "A Baby Story" and saw a woman with a line down her stomach (she was getting a henna tattoo)! As strange as it is, just last week I noticed a line going down my stomach-a perfectly straight line and although the woman's on television was much darker and thicker, as soon as I saw her line on television I did a google search and found out that this is common during the second trimester amongst pregnant women and should disappear after the baby arrives. There are so many strange things that people never talk about and the strangest things that happen to your body when there is a baby inside.
