Changing table of destiny
I’m sorry to say, if you have a pierced belly button, you’re going to regret it if you get pregnant because a red scar starts stretching out above your belly button. (No stretch marks yet though, keep my fingers crossed.) It was something I did spontaneously in Wales with a friend. She pierced her eyebrow and the giant needle sticking out of her face is one image I get to have the rest of my life.
A while back, before I knew whether I was having a girl or a boy but kinda thought it would be a boy, I went to a get together and a woman came in with the cutest little two year old girl. I watched her play and had a strong feeling of wow…maybe what I really want is a girl.
I went to pick up a changing table from craigslist and it turned out to be the woman from the get together. She recognized me before I could place how and where I knew her. The two year old helped by carrying the changing pad to the truck. I told Steve about it and said maybe it was a sign.
“Of what?” he asked.
“Uh… that we’ll have a cute girl?…and umm..that we were meant to have a changing table!”
“Yeah,” he said “the changing table of destiny.”
I’ve discovered Tums! Yum! I was starting to get this uncomfortable, tight feeling between the base of my throat and my stomach. It was just uncomfortable and kind of interfered with sleeping. I wasn’t sure what it was but eventually decided it might be heartburn even though the sensation didn’t feel like a burning one. So I popped a Tums last night and slept great. Like you care!
Wow…25 weeks. Just a little over three months left. Three months! There has been all this waiting and not knowing that it is still hard to imagine that for the rest of my life I will know. I will know what color hair and eyes she has and what her personality is like. I will barely even be able to remember or imagine what life was like without her. And hopefully, hopefully, we will be connected for as long as we both draw breath.
