I Really Am...


I'm happy to finally report that I have a doctor. I've been so confused about what I should do and way too busy to figure it out. But I'm so happy for friends and family who can come to my aid and help me see through the madness. I've been given some great advice but the biggest break through was when my dear friend Brandi texted me on a Thursday and asked me if I had a doctor yet. I texted back and said no and how terrible I felt for already being a bad mother. Well Brandi didn't text back, she has recently had a baby of her own and I figured she got busy. Well the next day she texted me again with news that she had found me a doctor. Her friend from work has had 2 grandchildren delivered from the same doctor and the mother just loves the doctor. She said that I should go to her. So I finally went. On March 11th I had my first appointment. It was very odd but so wonderful. I got to hear the baby's heart beat. I didn't hear it for at least a good minute or so. I was sure the baby was dead in my belly. I'm such a worrie wart. But then I hear it and I could hardly believe that something was growing inside me. I finally feel pregnant. I'm also starting to look it. I have a bit of a belly, although anyone who sees me will just say that I look fat. Oh well, I know what my big belly really is and it is so satisfying.

yeah! You found a dr. That is so good. I hope you like him/her. I wish I could see your cute little belly. You were always one to have a perfectly flat stomach, so now you will be making the rest of us feel much better about ourselves. :) Anyway, I love your attitude, sure it may stink to get fat, but the reason is worth it!

Honey, don't think about it as getting fat. Think about it as growing love.

It's nice that you found a good doctor. They are harder to find that you would think. You are going to LOVE being a mom. And believe it or not, there's a good chance you will miss being pregnant. I always do.
