When to tell everyone you’re growing a baby

by Andi Lutz

We decided to tell our family we were finally having a baby about two months in. We couldn't hold it in anymore, we were so filled with excitement. About that time is when the nausea kicked in so I didn't feel too great and all I wanted to do was lay in bed all the time, I was so
tired, and felt like I was getting a cold almost everyday.

Right before we told everyone my parents surprised my entire family, my three sisters, their husbands, and all their kids with a cruise. And so, when our surprise came next the family soon found out that we ruined their free trip because our precious miracle was due around the time we would all be sailing the ocean blue.

The cruise was canceled and there was talk whether we could take the baby on the ship after it was born. Or could our parents pay the doctor’s way on the cruise and I could just deliver the baby while we were drifting about at sea? With our surprise sunk I realized timing really is everything.

How would you describe yourself?

In ten words or less This question created a challenge. I don't like to think about myself much in a judging way. I try not to. I could take the easy way out and say I have brown hair and blue eyes, I am emotional and caring. However, I'm not going to do that. Really describing myself made me dig deep. At first, I thought I am a person who will help anyone who is in need, except that's not true.

Kill Rejection with Positive Motivation

Kill Rejection with Positive Motivation by Andi Lutz Rejection is everywhere. Every time someone unsubscribes from my website I feel it like a punch to my self-confidence. Am I really good enough for this writing thing. Why don’t they want to read what I have to say? Did I write something they didn’t like? But you can’t please everyone. It’s going to happen, you are going to get rejected a lot as a writer. The thing is, you can’t stop just because someone tells you no, or that you need to work on so and so, or you aren’t good enough. You need to keep going, you need to write more to get to the place you want to be. You need more positive motivation and not to dwell on the negative.

Please Invade My Privacy week 7

Please Invade My Privacy by Andi Lutz Week 7 Well people, I am getting very brave. I decided to do something huge. I started a mommy group that walks every day, in order to get out of the house and get some exercise and also make friends. Let me just, say that this was scary. In my head I’m outgoing and everyone wants to be my friend, I’m the life of the party. But really, when it comes down to it and I am allowed the time to anticipate the whole thing I’m a sweaty, bumbling idiot. But I must try, so let’s walk mommies! I found another mom in the area who agreed to meet me to walk. That’s good since I lost my best friend to a poop emergency a few weeks ago (read Week 2.) The days leading up to our walk were stressful, I bought pepper spray in case it was some crazy person pretending to be a nice innocent mommy. But in the end, it turned out to be a real mom, with kids and well, this is what happened.
