The Fictional Barista enters Mommyhood

Yet another disgustingly long hiatus, which I do apologize for immensely.  I guess domestication got the best of me and my time. But school is done. After much deliberation,  my final choice of studies actually landed in of all places the medical field and yours truly is almost a certified medical assistant. Just gotta take the state exam.  But based on my title, I've had a few distractions come my way this past year.

So, for starters, my lovely man-friend, Thomas,  by the way, decided to make our situation a little more official and finally put a ring on it last August! So exciting. It was truly a beautiful sight too. My love, who is not a very emotional guy, really nothing like me at all, recreated our first date, and with both of our families blessings amd presence, got down on one knee on the dugout. Our first date was a baseball game. Truly caught me off guard in one of the most beautiful moments of my life.

That is until May 26, 2014 when I heard the most precious sound I had ever heard. The sound of my son on the day of his birth. Turns out even when you're fictional, you can still procreate. Just a few short weeks into planning the biggest day of my life, I got the biggest surprise of my life. I was unexpectedly with child. Boy was I freaked! I couldn't even get the words out to tell tom. I just stood there blubbering like a baby (those beautiful hormones kick in early) and he jokingly guessed it. Needless to say, we were definitely taken aback. But my mommy-mode kicked right in. Even though this baby was unexpected, he definitely was not unwanted.

And then came memorial day. What a great day to celebrate.  Although things did not go according to plan, like they ever do really, all that mattered in the end was that one moment. I heard that baby cry and everything changed. My whole life suddenly had this incredible meaning to it that I've never understood before. And now everything almost feels turned upside down. But really, I think its turned exactly the way it was meant to be. I just didnt know it yet.
