So much has happened during the time I wasn’t blogging and now, lo and behold, yours truly is waiting around 30 more weeks before I give birth to “it”.
Exciting! Yes, it is!
The first time was when I visited my doctor several weeks ago for a random check-up and told her I “might” have had my period but I wasn’t sure. I just saw a spot and that seems to be odd since I normally have more than that on a monthly basis. And the revelation was inevitable: there on the ultrasound screen is tiny little “shrimp-like” thing that the doctor refered to as my little one!
Oh my….I wasn’t expecting that….I couldn’t wait to tell my other half the news and he just thought I was joking. Yet after my joyous outburst over the phone took more than a minute, he cried– convinced and laughing with me as we face this new reality of somebody joining us in the near future…I’ll be a mom for the first time and it felt great! Like a gift given to you that you haven’t known of until that special day when you’re about to open it…Cliche or not, I feel like a woman 100% for the first time. And I used to do everything and anything as long as I can even if it means killing myself to it, but now it’s a totally different ball game. I cannot be selfish thinking only of myself in that half-hearted way but I really have to take care of myself for that little “shrimp” inside of me…
