As David and I embarked on this journey to become parents, each month seemed like an eternity. Sometimes I wanted life to stop still, and not start again until we could reach our dream. I also felt immense frustration that life was continuing as normal and yet something we longed for was beyond our reach.
Tomorrow as I start week 15 of pregnancy, I'm still impatient, I still can't wait. This time I can't wait for a healthy child. I don't mind the passing of each weekend as Monday's have never felt so great. It signifies another major milestone in our baby's life.
I can't wait till the day our baby is born. I can't wait for the first touch, that first kiss and to smell that undeniable baby smell. I look forward to that first nappy/diaper change. And I know I will be beside myself, thinking I'm dreaming when I wake up that first morning and I'm no longer just wife of David, I'll be mom of someone...
Many people tell me, these months will fly by. Well you know what; I don't believe a word you say.
Aw, Emma! So cute!
I don't think this time will fly by but I think you should enjoy these months. Pregnancy is nothing short of a miracle, something to revel in and if you're thinking about the baby, you'll find you missed it entirely.
For example, you think there will ever be an easier time for you to get a foot massage from your husband?
