Today I found out that I am pregnant.
I am writing it on the day, but won’t post it for several weeks, if not months, as Simon and I are only telling family and close friends right now.
I am anxious, excited, scared, happy, worried, overjoyed.
Right now, based on my calculations, I am due June 26, 2009. Which happens to be my mother and step-father’s wedding anniversary!
It is times like this that I hate how far away I live from my family. We have spoken to Simon’s parents and his sister. I have to wait another 3 hours or so before I can call mine. Not to mention that I am not exactly sure where my mother is. I think she’s still in California, but I am not positive.
When I didn’t get my period yesterday, I was cautiously optimistic. And dreamt all night long that I was taking home pregnancy tests. In half the dreams it was positive and in half it was negative. Then I got up at 6:45. And it was positive. And I woke up Simon to tell him. “Um, honey, this stick says pregnant!!” “TEST AGAIN!!” Which I couldn’t do because that was my last stick.
We bought more today and I tested again. Still pregnant.
Ran right out and purchased ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” Very helpful.
Also nosed around Mothercare. I think I want a Moses Basket. And the clothes, OMG cute!
I will be 40 when the baby is born. And 58 when it goes to University. God Help Me. I’m gonna need it!
be careful with “what to expect when you’re expecting”…it goes into a lot of worst case scenario stuff, and seriously made me cry. (then again, you could just not read the whole thing!)
this book is a hoot, esp. for geeks:
http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Owners-Manual-Instructions-Trouble-Shooting/dp/1931686238/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226516627&sr=8-2
and this one was really useful (for baby time, anyway):
http://www.amazon.com/Your-Baby-Child-Birth-Revised/dp/0375700005/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226516667&sr=1-1
I actually really like what to expect when you’re expecting, because it does go into worse case scenarios, but it says they are worst case scenarios, at least the UK one does!
