As we put the church shopping on the back burner. We decided we are going to do everything right with this kid (I know what in the heck were we thinking). We went to classes and researched the pros and cons of everything from circumcisions to plastic or glass bottles. The 9 months I was pregnant I was the happiest I have ever been.
Yes I was exhausted all the time. My back hurt....my feet hurt....I had a migraine for almost 2 whole weeks. I had to sleep in a recliner at the end. Physically I was pushed to my limit. But the mentality part of it kept me going. I walked walked and walked. Even as we got down to the date, I walked the mall almost daily. I could not wait to meet this little life form that is growing in my belly.
Not trying to take away from any other mother or rub in that I can or can't...remember I didnt think I could either.
However it is a wonderfully blessed feeling to know you are creating this perfect little being. When we heard the heart beat we both cried. When we saw him for the first time moving and jumping, we laughed that we are never going to keep up with him. When we found out it was a boy we were excited - we were not ready for the girl drama. Every mile stone was perfect....just perfect. Yes it had it ups and down, but I tried to brave through it with a smile.
I almost passed out on my second diabetes test. My arms fell asleep so I had to sleep with them up. Yes it had it downers, but this is what I wanted. This is what I wanted so bad for the last 8 years I was not going to cry about it. I loved it when I felt him for the first time, even if it was him kicking my diaphragm. I just giggled and laughed. Loving it!
