Double Digits!


I noticed my pregnancy ticker today. We are in the double digits as far as how many more days pregnant we have. That 99 days gives me so many different emotions. So far I've mostly enjoyed being pregnant. I told Dan last night that I go back and forth between being so excited to meet her to wanting this pregnancy to go super slow so I can enjoy every minute. Then a third thought will creep in and that's the one where I realize how this little girl is going to GET HERE! Wow, that's a scary thought to get ready for. You've got a healthy baby on the way, but FIRST you will need to go through an unspecified amount of hours of the worst pain you've ever felt in your life. For any normal first time mom I'm sure this is scary to think about, but coming from a first time mom who has the world's lowest pain tolerance and faints from it, it tends to have me on the brink of a panic attack anytime it creeps into my thoughts. With all of these thoughts and emotions she's coming in 99 or more so days. What it really makes me feel is blessed, overjoyed, incredibly happy, and thankful. Dan said we'd get through it together so I'll just have to trust him that he'll be my advocate for pain meds:)
