The Phone Call

The next 9 months I think I was too busy to even think about how miserable I was.

Granted I was nauseous at least 6 of those months all day 

and 

hated all of the people who made pregnancy look glamorous.

There were days I couldn't stand the smell of my own make up.

It wasn't glorious exciting & fun.

I was overweight, sweaty, & I hated everything about the human race. 

How anyone breathed, smelled, or looked....they were all terrible beings.

I don't remember exactly what day but there was that first re-position that She made in my stomach that lil glimmer made me Cry INSTANTLY.

Her FIRST milestone.

The tiniest lil ripple in my belly made a HUGE difference.

Then I would sit waiting for more and MORE.
To the point where I made believe every time I passed gas she moved or maybe she did, they all kinda felt the same in the beginning.

It was exhausting.... 

once time got closer I cut down my work load and was just attending school...

Which made me stir crazy at the dumpy EXTENDED STAY HOTEL where we resided because I wasn't finished with school and I wanted to have her in Des Moines, where I had spent the last 9 months with MY doctors.

They say,
"you should get all this rest, cause you won't sleep once the baby is here."

I WISH I WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THIS AND TOOK IT SERIOUSLY.

I was sitting on balls bouncing and walking like it was my job all because, I wanted out of that dam crappy small studio dirt apartment.

She was in there for 42 weeks. 

The last 3 weeks SEEM & FELT like FOREVER!!!!!

& she still didn't want to exit.

She was just chilling,

Kicking my ribs EVERYTIME I ate Salt & Vinegar Chips

& waking me up EVERY morning at 4 a.m.

Finally are last appointment hit and she was STILL not ready.

So they made an appointment for her exit to be the next morning...

PERFECT 

We'll go home

have a FABULOUS supper

and sleep sleep sleep...

On the drive home we received a call....

"How would you feel if we started tonight?"

AT THAT POINT IT BECAME REAL...

as if the last 9 months never happened and i wasn't just getting fatter.

I WAS PREGNANT

I WAS GONNA HAVE A BABY

CUE THE FLOOD OF EMOTIONS!!

We raced to our Room PACKED UP EVERYTHING that we had accumulated over the past 2 months in less than 45 minutes and headed straight to the hospital.

SHE WAS COMING.

WE WERE READY TO MEET HER.

I was terrified 

.....hadn't a CLUE what to expect in the next few hours.
