I don’t like to admit it now, but when I found out that I was having a baby, I thought adventure, spontaneity, modesty and my lean physique were a thing of the past. I actually thought to myself… well- I guess I’m reduced to a future of daytime television and minivans…(no offense to the minivan lovers out there! I admit: they’re super functional!) I wanted to be excited more than anything…but all I could think about was how soon my toes would look like small sausages and my abdomen would lie beside me in the bed. For me, that was a depressing thought.
I actually shared the news of my pregnancy with my husband by giving him a card with a drawing of this photo on it:
Inside the card I wrote: “This will be me in 9 months.”
How little I knew! Becoming a mother is wonderful in every way. AND– the adventure has just begun!
Here I am with Zac in the final hippo stage of pregnancy:
It really wasn’t so bad! I’ve actually grown to really love the pregnant figure.:)
What’s your story about expecting your baby? Were you glowing with happiness or filled with terror!?
