Knowing Changes Everything

It’s the most perfect day. The sun is shining and there is nothing more than a very gentle sway in the wind. There are cherry blossom trees blooming here already and the sky is one perfect shade of Spring. We are going to meet our baby today. Some say that the first meeting is when you give birth, but I say that it’s when you can see a face. It’s just on the ultrasound’s computer monitor, but it’s a face. And it’s ours. We made a little human. It’s still kind of crazy to think about. I really wasn’t prepared to see such a clear picture of our baby’s face but technology has come a long way and we can actually see it. I can finally say “he”. It feels good. Our little prince is growing and moving just as he should and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m thrown into a whirlwind of emotions: relief, love, joy, gratitude are the few that describe how I feel now. I feel like I have met him now and knowing changes everything…

This week has definitely felt like “woah, I could have this baby at any moment.” Mainly, because my doctor said that I’m 1 cm dilated which, I know, doesn’t really mean much but to me it does mean that things are progressing. Especially since there was absolutely nothing last week. After I realized that, I... Continue reading

    Hey!
    I know you have been quite some time ago in this situation, but I am now!! And have been amazed to read your statements on the nausea, because I also find the same general information that you have found, e.g. morning sickness and diziness, but never as what I experience – a whole day long comings and goings..
    Excuse me so much, I did not present myself! My name is Veselina Pekala! I would love to contact you, as I am a mother-to-be in abroad and I actually know noone here, since we moved 3 months ago! I find great deal of similarities between you and me and I am so happy I found you! Looking at your videos and pictures, not only about pregnancy, but all the essence of your simple and gorgeous website, makes me experience some kind of calmness, so.. I know it is late for my nausea-compation, but you have it and I also wanted to add thank you! Just for this thiny web-space of calmness, colour and sunlight :)))))
    Saludos!
