Newness

Since my dearest friend told me she was pregnant, I have been anxious about seeing the result of what God will do once again. My pregnancy was so fun but lonely that I am glad hers has been surrounded with people who love her and her husband. Moreso, I am glad they are enjoying it together.

When you first find out it seems like 9 months is a long time, but as you go to dr apptmt after dr apptmt, bathroom trip after bathroom trip, the time comes quick. I loved being pregnant- talking to my daughter, putting the music to my belly, talking to her at night, listening to her hiccups, and singing to her even though I cannot sing very well. I would have loved for someone to rub my feet or comfort me at night when I was crying for no reason but maybe that is why my daughter is as tough as she is. She was making it through nights with me and never gave me hard kicks or nausea.

Just thinking about all the stories we will share going forward makes me anxious also. Our philosophies are very similar yet our backgrounds are extremely different. Regardless, I love her baby as if I am having the child myself so I cannot wait until we meet.
