The real kicker is that you are fully responsible for another human life for the rest of your life. <BR/>when my brother was three he asked how babies were made. my mom who was huge on being honest (a great lesson i've learned from her) told him that when a husband and wife loved each other very much and hugged in a very special way their love created a new life. <BR/>so my theory is that if we as people carry that love through and teach our children to be better ppl then we are with love - then you can't go wrong. we'll all make mistakes...and our children will learn from those too.<BR/>and being pregnant is not so bad - even with three months of projectile puke. lol! the thing is that everything that happens to your body is so amazing - the little parasite we call an embryo starts from one cell and turns into a whole human! i must confess that i often refer to my baby as an alien - afterall it did have a tail, and now that i can watch him move through my belly i can't help but laugh and think of the last scene in space balls. <BR/>the truth is that nature in its great wisdom releases all sorts of chemicals and hormones in your body to help you with the pregnancy. the less you think about all the medical bullshit and the more you trust nature to take its course as it has for millions of years the easier everything becomes. <BR/>I'm telling you guys - if i can do this and be this calm about it - anyone can. afterall millions of women have been doing this forever!<BR/>and bar-hoping does get old after a while! though the baby has gone to rallies before his birth and will surely go to more afterwards - and surely we'll take him to artsy things and what not- and i'm sure his dad will find a family friendly irish pub we can hang out at... so actually life isn't soooo drastically different if you don't want it to be. or at least life isn't over, it's just a new chapter.<BR/>and frankly think it's good to be a litle scared - that means you'll take your responsablity seriously. <BR/>ok - so now i hope you all go have babies - b/c it really is a great thing to be pregnant (minus strangers touching your belly)! and i just can't wait to see his face and look into his eyes for the first time!<BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16785398.post-1131975964156261252005-11-14T08:46:00.000-05:002005-11-14T08:46:00.000-05:00I was utterly terrified when I found out I was pre...I was utterly terrified when I found out I was pregnant. Elated too, but scared beyond belief. And Brdn was planned, mind you, not an opps, so I shouldn't have been scared, right? But nothing can prepare you for the shock of seeing that second blue line show up. You doubt ALL of your abilities, you suddenly incredibly feel overwhelmed, but over time you adjust. You learn to live on less sleep. And later on you find yourself wondering how you ever lived without him/her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16785398.post-1131939173124394982005-11-13T22:32:00.000-05:002005-11-13T22:32:00.000-05:00I'm glad you have friends you can do "family" thin...I'm glad you have friends you can do "family" things with... because I'm sure not going to be fulfilling that role anytime soon! I have yet to have a friend my age go through a pregnancy-- it must be weird to see someone you knew as a young 'un doing such a grownup thing! I for one am waiting for you to go first... if it's not too bad, then I'll think about it.FunnyGal KAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827578909140878399noreply@blogger.com
