Thinking about baby personality

I had a great week last week, but I’ve had very restless sleep this past week. Not sleeping is such a pain to my brain. I’ve been thinking about this and why I’ve had restless sleep this past week and I realize I’ve been having dreams this week every night. I’m not sleeping because my brain isn’t getting any rest. So, what is my brain thinking about? My dreams are non-coherent.

But, I’ve been thinking while I’m awake in the day about it the last couple days. I still don’t know what my brain is thinking about, but I know what I think about while I’m awake.

I’ve been thinking what the baby that’s growing inside of me is going to look like. Hoping that the baby will resemble me in some way and yet at the same time not. Hoping that the baby will have what good qualities I might have and none of my bad. Hoping that the baby will have his father’s personality and all his qualities. His qualities that draw people to like him without effort. That the baby will learn how to love and be supportive like his father. Hope that our baby will be a good person, surround him/herself with good people and walk on the right path like his father.

I’ve been thinking about family also. About how my family is similar but opposite to my husband’s family. We’re both fortunate enough to have loving families who are supportive in every way. Who are all very excited about the coming baby. Probably more excited than I feel.

Thru my husband’s family, the baby will learn the importance of having a large support system there for them because of the blood that flows thru them and connects them. Thru my family, the baby will learn the importance that blood is not what determines what makes our family. Because my family… although many of us are not biologically connected, we grew up as a family and we love each other just as any other family would. And thru this, I hope that our baby will understand that family… it’s what we make of it. Some family members are here to stay and then there are the ones that we choose to surround ourselves with day in and day out. Together I hope these two groups will build a strong foundation for our baby when it comes into this world.
