Journal 29 - Stories

Why does it seem that when you get pregnant, you start to hear all of the horror stories? Just this weekend, there was a couple who told their story of not hearing a heartbeat at their first ultrasound. This morning, there was a tub-drowning story in my email inbox. Ace stopped breathing during labor but I tend to share that story with mothers who have healthy babies not ones in the WOMB! Maybe I just notice the stories more, being pregnant.

So, on to some good news! I haven't been sick - only those two naseous nights before I took the pregnancy tests. I have been super tired but it may just be the daylight savings time adjustment. This morning my mind was wandering while I laid in bed and I was thinking of what it will be like once this new baby is here. The first few weeks, until my stomach heals, will be tough because I can't pick up Ace or hold him. I think I will start praying for that time now.

I keep looking sideways in the mirror, convinced that I am showing. Deep down, I know that it's just the McDonalds I ate on Friday. I hope that you are doing ok in there baby. Time to feed you. I have noticed that skipping a meal is not an option right now.
