We had tried for almost a year to have a baby. And every month when the bleeding has come, I have felt grief. Of course we have shared a lot of love when trying, but still, I have felt bad. But things changed. One day, I threw up without any apparent reason. I had been feeling sick all day. At first, I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me, but I went and did a test anyway. It went blue, which meant that it was positive! I started to shake. I felt so warm inside, this was a miracle. I fell down on my knees and thanked the mighty lord. I was so happy, I hope You felt it too. My breast changed shape, by now they are really big (not though they were small before). They are aching, but from the moment I knew You were coming, I welcomed the pain. I did threw up a lot. It was not nice, and I would lie if I said that liked it. But it showed that something was happening inside of me. But I worried about a lot of things. Like, that my body did not keep enough food for You to grow properly. But they say that it is no problem, and that I will forget this and all other bad and hard times. I hope so. I cannot say that I have loved You from the very minute I began to sense your presence. There were a lot of times when I were running from the sofa to the bathroom to be sick, and really wondered what I were up to. Not that I have regret anything though. I have NEVER regret anything about You, your creation, your existence. Oh no, I look forward to your entrance. Sure, sometimes I am kind of frightened. I know that You are going to change everything in my life. But as times were then, I was only aware of the physical reactions. But I knew that there would be more. Now, however, I have started to gain weight again. It feels good. I promise You that food taste a lot better if You have not been able to eat for a couple of months. This has naturally led to that my tummy has started to grow. I think I like this - even though I'm sure I'm going to be dead sick and tired of it in the end. Speaking of my tummy, people in my surroundings have started to poke on 'You'. I guess You would like to know that You are responsible for a lot of hugs and 'pokes'. They say You'll get tired of all this poking after a while. I guess I will too. A few days ago, your father and I saw the first picture of You. Well, it wasn't all that exciting that I thought it would be. The staff that developed the picture were quite stressed. But, of course, it felt good to know You are okay. They told us You were waving to us and your father said he saw it. I didn't see that, however, but I could see your little heart and head. And that You had two arms and two legs. They said You were kicking to. I'm longing to feel it. It was quite a relief to know that You are 'alive and kicking'. From time to time, I have been worried. You seem a lot closer to us now, when we have actually seen You. It's just a few months left until You will be here. I hope we will be enough prepared. Even though there is a lot of time left before You will show up, an hour won't pass without You being on my mind. I have started to notice how You move around inside of me. It is great. Your father is trying to feel and to hear You too. He puts his ear to my belly, even though I tell him it's a bit early. I'm not sure if he longs as much as I do. Perhaps it's different for fathers. I read a lot. Now mostly about how babies grow. And about what is going to happen when the time comes for You to enter 'the outside world'. People ask me if I'm scared, but I'm not - yet. Right now I'm only so happy You are on your way. I have started to knit You a sweater. I hope You are going to like it. And grandma is buying You a lot of stuff. There are a lot of things You need, even though You will be pretty small in the beginning. Today, I listened to your heartbeats now. WOW, that was amazing! It felt like the sound absorbed me. Now I know, once again, that You are okay. I cannot help it, but I'm still worried that something will go wrong. But I guess that is normal. Sometimes, I lie awake at night, just enjoying the feeling of your movements. You kick a lot in the early morning hours. I usually get very pissed if someone wakes me up at four AM, but for You, my soon-to-be firstborn, it's okay. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #403 Underground eXperts United 1997 uXu #403 Call KASTLEROCK -> +1-412-527-374 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
