Confessions of a First-Time-Momma-To-Be

Let me start by saying this is not a solicitation for advice.  Those of you close to me know that I have absolutely no interest in unsolicited advice so please, kindly, take this for what it is - a simple blog to share emotions, laughter, fears and entertainment.  Should I need advice, and trust me you, I will, I'll reach out. Until then... mums the word, got it?


Confessions of the first trimester:

1. Kid, you scare the bejeezus out of me.  When that little test said 'Pregnant 3+ Weeks'... oh... my... I've never known a human can feel both absolute terror and pure joy at the same time.

2. Again, you scare me, a lot. You are made up of little pieces of me and little pieces of your daddy.  That's it.  Which means you are going to be stubborn, strong-willed, spontaneous, fierce, loving, caring, emotional, bold, temperamental, intelligent and so much more.

3. I don't know you yet and most days I can't even tell you're in there but your daddy does and he gives you a kiss every single night <3

4. You've already managed to bring out the crazy in me.  The hormone train is here and it's not going anywhere!

5.  You are the luckiest 14-week-old fetus ever.  Your uncles have been tirelessly helping us get the house in order just for your arrival!

6. You've made me realize just how thankful I am to have insurance, whether it's the best insurance or not.  One ultrasound cost $1,656.  $0 of that was billed to me.

7. You have so many friends already! Gutschmidt's little one is due any day, Emily shortly thereafter and Erin just two months before you! How exciting to be able to share a time like this with friends and family?

8. The first trimester went way too fast.  Granted, we didn't find out about you until 6 weeks in but still! And guess what? In about 5.5 weeks, we'll be half way through this amazing journey we're on together.

Here's too many many many more amazing journeys we'll share...

Welcome to my life, baby Zbug. Welcome. to. my life.
