Mommy To Be: Counting Sheep

Bun in the Oven

I am pregnant for the first time with a healthy baby and it has been such a joy. I can't believe how much you can love someone that you haven't even met yet. The excitment of seeing our boy's little face for the very first time is something we can't wait to see. There will be first smiles, first laughs and a few other firsts that will be on that lists that might be not as pleasant but definetly worth it. I think being a mommy is something that every woman should experience at least once in her lifetime. I love watching my belly grow and there is never a day that passes that I don't talk (or sing) to our unborn baby boy. My husband and I have been together for years and we are very excited to have a new addition in our lives. Three peas in a pod. What a cozy pod it will be.

I would like to share some of my experiences through my pregnancy to my family and friends because you all mean so much to me. And I would love to hear about all of your own experiences as well because so far I am just fasinated by what the female body is capable of. I want to hear the good, bad and even the embarressing. It's too bad that men never get to experience all the beauty of carrying a baby in their belly. I am so happy that I have had the chance to know what it is like to be pregnant. I think sometimes woman forget what a blessing it is. And each pregnancy is unique and beautiful. So please share your thoughts. I am an open book so don't be shy.

Counting Sheep

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four...... You get the idea. It is something I've become very good at. Too bad it doesn't actually help me sleep. I can't believe I actually have Insomnia. Me. The one who would fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow and stay asleep till it was time to get up. I've had this for months now but I kept thinking that it would change. Who was I kidding? I know they say that it helps to prepare you for the baby but I could of waited till the last month or so. Well, at least when I have the baby I will be prepared I guess. Or am I kidding myself again? :)
