My thoughts on pregnancy

March 9, 2006
Aunt Courtney just posted about things that make her happy about being a mom even when it is really hard. Tonight I am feeling that pregnancy is hard so I thought I would create one of these posts on pregnancy. (On a side note, I know I shouldn't complain. I feel so incredibly lucky that having a baby is an easy process for me. I have watched Aunt Courtney and way too many friends go through way too much to try and have a baby. My heart hurts for them. It hurt a lot the day I found out I was pregnant for those friends because I felt a lot of guilt about my latest surprise. I wish lots and lots of babies on them very soon.)

So even though I having sleep issues and very bad indigestion and gas, I am thrilled to be pregnant because

I love to think about the little person growing inside of me.

I love to wonder who you will be like.

I love to learn what new things are happening to you and get so very excited that you are an entire inch long!

I love to think about the day in a few months when I will get to feel you move. I also get excited to hear your heartbeat and see your body in an ultrasound.

I love to try and tell your sister Laney about. I hope you both understand the enormous amount of love I have for both of you. We sing "I love Laney she loves me. We love daddy, yes sirree. And our new baby and so you see, we are a happy family."

I know that the bad parts of pregnancy will pass but luckily you will always be mine.
