Pregnancy: What you don't think about!

When you think about starting a family you don't usually visualize the in between. Most people think about the process to make it happen and the end result of holding that precious child in your arms. For me I was one of those people who just visualized myself holding my precious bundle of joy in my arms and cuddling him/her while they giggle and laugh at mommy. I completely blanked out on the whole 10 month ordeal that is actually being pregnant. Now that I am 4 months pregnant my friends and families make jokes of how they can just tell I am loving pregnancy, sarcastically speaking of course. The process of making a child is always an experience. For some its and easy 1 month try or for people like me it took 2 years. After two years of unsuccessful tries of course I was overjoyed to finally receive a positive result on a pregnancy test. The first two weeks of knowing were happy weeks because me and the expecting father were both in shock at a miracle we thought would never occur. However the weeks that followed after became very miserable for me. Everything was uncomfortable. Sleep seemed like it was not going to happen, not to mention we had a 2 month old puppy keeping us up through the night. The bathroom was my new living space since I was constantly sick. No food tasted right and the items I ate most refused to stay in my stomach. Work was a nightmare because I didn't feel well. Suddenly I found myself wishing you could skip the 9 months and just deliver the baby already. At 4 months Im even more anxious because the further along your little miracle grows the more you find yourself not sleeping and having to wake up to pee. 9:30 seems to be late at night because you are already tired. A child is definitely a blessing especially considering all the work put in to making my own but as a person whose never been pregnant you don't count on what comes in the middle. I can't wait to meet my bundle but mommy will definitely have a few stories for them once they're old enough to comprehend.
