It was July 9, 2007, a very typical summer day, almost breathtakingly hot. That evening was the evening that I learned my life would be changing forever. The results of one test were enough to raise my heart rate and to send an extreme rush of excitement through my body. It was the strangest yet best feeling of my life. It was and is a mind, body, and life changing event.
First I got morning sickness. Morning sickness is awful. It is almost like having a stomach virus every day. It can hit at any time of the day. Then my waistline started to expand, partly because of an increased appetite, and partly because of the changes taking place in my abdomen. As soon as the waistline started to expand I could feel it. It was almost like someone was trying to pull me apart at my waist.
While all of these things are happening, so are a lot more. Because of the pregnancy hormone, and all of the other changes in my body during pregnancy, I am emotionally unstable. I sometimes feel like I cannot control myself. My emotions while being pregnant are like a rollercoaster with peaks and valleys. Some of the feelings I experience are being excited, scared, happy, sad, nervous, and confident. Sometimes I may experience these emotions all at once, separately, or just a few at a time. All of these emotions are normal, but one wouldn’t think so.
Finally, approximately halfway through ones pregnancy, as she is resting quietly, she may feel a faint gentle fluttering in her abdomen that feels like butterflies.I can't wait till I reach this stage in my pregnancy. To feel a life growing inside my stomach is going to be the most unexplainable feeling. This may not be felt again for a few days, but will become more distinct with time. Each day this feeling will grow stronger and more vigorous. Women will sometimes be able to see these movements as the fetus’ limbs poke against the walls of one’s abdomen. This is like the baby is rolling around inside her abdomen.
That hot day in July will always be remembered as a wonderful and glorious day. As the time passes into the spring the birth of my child grows near. Yet again to feel the strangest, yet best feeling of my life.
