For most of my life I was pretty....cowardly. There, I said it. I hated confrontation and would always back down and try to remove myself from a situation that was getting heated (as opposed to standing up for myself and fighting back).

Well, I'm changing big time in that aspect. This started a bit before pregnancy, and thanks to a lot of therapy I am much better at standing up for myself. But, getting pregnant has unleashed something new. I feel fiercely protective of myself, my baby, and my new little family. And for the first time I have absolutely no qualms about standing up and defending myself, no matter what.

It feels GREAT, to be honest. I've wished I could be this way for a long time.
