I left my son playing with hubby this morning & he has such an infectious laugh - you can't help but to smile when you hear him laugh.
He is a wonderful present to us. Was perfectly content with my 2 lovely girls & life was going along fine. I was actually contemplating getting my tubes tied - take away all the hassles of contraception - but had delayed acting on it as it was a busy time at the office.
Was feeling tired, kept thinking it was because of the work & my late nights, either working or having drinks with friends.
Found myself falling asleep at the traffic lights while driving home one evening when I remembered the last time I felt this kind of tiredness was when I was pregnant. Hmmm, could it be? Didnt think so but I did have a pregnancy test kit at home from the last time.
So, when I got home, i tested, but definitely not prepared for the positive result.
Started hyperventilating! Called hubs but he didnt pick up. So, called my younger sis, crying over the phone, I didnt want to get all fat & ugly again
The pregnancy went pretty smoothly, the usual morning sickness ...nothing major! Then during the ultrasound at the 4th month, I found out it was a boy - a teapot as the radiographer called it :-)
There's something magical about having a child grow inside of you. Its hard to define, but you automatically fall in love with this group of cells, multiplying inside you. And you keep falling in love, each day, everyday for the rest of your life.
I remember details of each of all my pregnancies, including the one I lost - little Judith Anne - yes I named her. Was sure it was a pretty little girl & she was very real to me.
Funny when i recall, as a young adult, I didnt want kids, was afraid I'd screw up as a mom & ruin a child's life. Now, I have 3!
