Life is back to routine
and I am a happy camper. While all
my travels were fun, I was ready to slow down and get back to a routine.
This week I am regaining
confidence in giving birth to you.
My most recent prenatal check-up was very positive. I was able to enjoy a comfortable visit
with our midwife and share good conversation about some questions I’d been
pondering. In addition to having
had an extremely positive pregnancy and prenatal experience, I have been
reading a few books, talking with other moms, and trusting my personal
strength. I am having fun
imagining how your birthday will play out. I know it will be an experience I remember for my lifetime.
Dad has been getting
quite excited for your birth, too.
It’s intriguing for this Momma to imagine how different a father’s
“pregnancy” experience is from a mother’s. Dads-to-be must learn and adapt to many new scenarios, too. You are a very lucky little munchkin to
have such a caring and involved Daddy.
It’s crazy to think that
we’re getting close to meeting each other. Our nurse suspects that you’ll probably be a wee little
thing. This is a just her guess
based on the size of Mom’s belly.
I’m curious to see how little or big of a peanut you actually are.
Today, your Grandma Jo
hosted a baby shower for us.
Attending the shower were many wonderful women who have posed as role
models throughout my life. Since I
was a little girl these women have taught me much. It is comforting to know that as I approach motherhood I
will continue to have their support. I can’t wait for you to meet all of them.
Having the encouragement
from these women gets me thinking about how important it is to surround
yourself with people who bring out the best in you! I am confident you already have many talents yet to be discovered.
Spend time with those who will help you find these talents and support you in
reaching your goals and chasing your dreams.
While we wait for your
arrival, I will continue to draw on my support system. Dad and I can’t wait to start life with
you!
