10W 4D First Ultrasound!
From the day we found out we were expecting, I have been toeing the line of deciding if I even wanted to be a mom. My uncertainty of whether or not I would cut it as a mom, coupled with the up close and personal relationship I have made with every toilet I have been with arms reach of, has made the first 10 weeks very difficult. I've found myself crying in my husbands arms telling him I've changed my mind and I don't want to do this after violently vomiting for a half hour on my hands and knees in the shower because I ate red meat the night before. I can't be around food, or cook delicious meals for the people I love because the sight of it repulses me. I sleep through all of my alarms, I snap at people at work, and my poor husband has been deprived of my love because I have a serious case of the farts and I won't let him near me.
But today. Today everything changed.
The screen on the ultrasound machine started all dark as the midwife searched for the little nugget that has been making my life miserable. A few flickers of white on the screen and there it was. Our prefect little wiggling gummy bear. It didn't make sense at first. We are so desensitized from TV and apps and book that it takes a few extra seconds for it to actually kick in. That is our baby. We made that. My husband was in tears gazing lovingly at the screen while the midwife took screen shots for us and I just laughed. Big hot tears rolled out of the corners of my eyes, but I smiled and laughed in disbelief and joy. Nothing could have prepared me for the love that I would feel for a little tiny being that I haven't even met yet.
Needless to say I'm not toeing the line anymore. I'm fully on board. I'm overjoyed and I know that I will do everything in my power to make this babies life a good one. I'm in love. And I can deal with the lingering taste of bile in my mouth for this little miracle.
Hang in there, Mamas! It's all worth it I promise!
