…what labor will be like…
…how I’ll actually know I’m in labor…
…if I’ll really be able to do it without medication…
…what hearing his first cries will feel like…
…if breastfeeding will work out (Lord knows I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure it does)…
…what seeing my husband hold our baby will feel like…
…what it’s going to be like to look into our little guy’s eyes for the first time…
…if he’ll have my husband’s dimples…
…if I’ll just fall into holding and changing and feeding him naturally…
…what it will feel like to no longer be pregnant…
…how the dogs will react to their new human brother…
…how our world will change, how much sleep we’ll miss, and how much fun we’ll have…
What I don’t wonder is how much we love this little man and how much our lives will be enriched and filled with happiness because of his little breath, his little fingers and toes, his smile, and the fact that we were chosen and blessed to be his parents. I can’t wait to be a mommy to him, to struggle through all the new things we have to figure out, and to see what God has in store for us!
I had pretty much the same questions when I was pregnant. My girl is now 4 months old and I can share one thing with you: a lot of the answers will come naturally. I would not worry too much, your body knows what to do especially during labour. Keep dreaming about the future because it will be a happy one 🙂
