More baby!

Last week I recieved a few more baby gifts from my baby registry! You have no idea how happy it makes me that people are happy and excited for this baby and that they are so thoughtful. I bought some thank you cards (they’re in the mail!), but I think it’s only appropriate to thank them publicly as well.
Thank you Jenni and Markj. Me and my family appreciate the gifts and the well wishes from the bottom of our hearts!
My really hot friend, Michael, also sent me a package with some really great things. I wish I could show you all how hot he is, but he wouldn’t be happy if I posted the really hot pictures I have of him. Thank you again, Michael. I love you, and not just because you’re so hot. Really, I mean it.
It truly amazes me how happy my friends and family are for this baby. Yesterday, I saw a friend I hadn’t seen in a while. We gave each other a big hug and she asked what was new with me. I pointed to my tummy, she looked, she kept looking and then it hit her. She started to cry. “You’re having a baby!” She hugged me so tight. She kept saying how wonderful that was and how happy it made her. Of course, being the crybaby I am, I started crying with her. I get that reaction whenever I tell someone. It’s awesome.
I still remember when I found out I was pregnant. Standing there, completely shocked as the line turned purple. I remember screaming “Noooooo!”. I called Tony and I was hysterical. I called my mom screaming about how “I can’t have a baby, I’m crazy!” I cried and cried and cried and cried. I thought it was the worst news I could have recieved.
Now, it’s the best thing that’s happened to me. I can’t wait for this baby to get here. I can’t wait for the joy that is in store for me and my family. I am so happy.
Sure, I still have moments of doubt. Like when I see a couple at a restaurant trying to eat, while their baby is screaming and crying and pulling everything they can off the table. I think to myself, “I’ve already been there, done that!” But those moments are far less then they were at the beginning. I dwell on the positive now. I dwell on how beautiful it is to hold a baby in your arms. How exciting all of their “firsts” are. How amazing it is the first time you hear “I love you”.
I never imagined I’d be doing this all over again, but I thank God that I am. I think this is going to be an amazing time in our lives!
