Vow Renewal in Japan ππΈ very emotional π
So my husband and I renew our vows every year for our wedding anniversary . (When I say renew vows , I mean us going to a different country , dressing up , saying vows and taking pictures .. just us)
So this year we went to Japan . This is our 2nd year being married and I am 16 weeks pregnant with our first child together . For the first trimester of my pregnancy , I was so scared, and always felt sick and blamed the baby and pregnancy for feeling so depressed and sick . Now that I've gotten into my second trimester , there is a calm that has overtaken my mind . Although round ligament pains are killing me , I have no real other symptoms . I have grown to feel quite excited and ready for this baby . We had TTC for 10 months and got pregnant and I guess I never thought it would happen so it took time to let it sink in .
For years , I always said I never wanted children . But then I married my husband and I found myself having the strong urge to start a family .
So this morning , we went to Yoyogi Park in Shinjuku and renewed our vows . I didnt write vows and neither did he . We just went with what felt natural . (Last year we wrote vows ) .
Well after he said his vows , I started talking and I said "I am so thankful for you because you have given me the chance to become a mother.." at that point I just broke down into tears . I am not naturally an emotional person and this pregnancy has got me more moody / irritable opposed to emotional , so crying caught me off guard . I didn't realize until that moment how much I have changed , even just since becoming pregnant . I didn't realize how truly happy I was to be a "mom to be".
My husband was also surprised that I started crying , but it meant so much to him to hear those words and see how true they were and how much I felt them in my heart .
Just thought I'd share that moment with you ladies .πΈ
