It feels soooo weird saying mother. It is such a big title to live up to. Who do athletes, actors, and us everyday commoners accredit their tremendous life and success to? Mostly moms. I hope that she will love me one day. I have so many ideas and things I want to implement in her, but I hope she wants to go along with it. It really has started to go by fast the last month and a half. BUT that first month was sooooooo slow. There was not much to prepare for how the next few weeks would go.
To start off...I gained somewhere between 69 and 71 lbs. I'll let you do the math. I had a WONDERFUL time! I resorted back to my old lifestyle of fast food and more whataburger. I would get food to eat on the way home WITH the food I was gonna eat AT home. It was a party everyday! I told people that Jesse would have whataburger withdrawals when she was born! I was put on a moderate bed rest at in the beginning which meant no heavy lifting, no driving outside the immediate area, or doing much of anything, except eating.
I had a fairly easy pregnancy. The worst part was my feet swelling and I would get pain in my wrists and my hands would go numb when I slept. I also couldn't help but feel a little guilt when I would complain because there are women who can't get pregnant after years of trying and here I am..... having a baby by surprise. NOBODY is comfortable when you are getting to the final months but I had a feeling it would be a lot less sleep when she got here, so I was just fine with her staying in.
At that point....everything still seemed like a dream. I wonder if it was because I wasn't trying or even THINKING about having a baby, that I could not really grasp this concept that has been going around since Adam & Eve.
