The Beginning of A Long Journey (Part 2)

As I walked out into the waiting room to where my boyfriend was, I couldn't help but giggle. I saw him watching a cartoon and trying to figure one of the toys out!

I thought to myself, "I can do this. I am just going to march right up to him and tell him the news."... well I did march right up to him and then I chickened out, stating that I was done and it was time to go.

We got into the car and he started driving out of the parking lot...then the waterworks began. I told him the news I had received and he got this silly little grin on his face. Surely he didn't hear me right... right?

"I just knew it!" he stated.

Let me tell you something, when you are pregnant you're emotions are haywire! I mean crazy!!! I thought I was going to "punch his lights out". I am not even exactly sure why, I just felt like I was a trainwreck and here he was smiling!

He said five simple words after that, "It's all gonna work out." It was then I knew I wouldn't be facing this journey alone.

The Beginning of A Long Journey

I remember the day I walked into KSAT not realizing my life was about to change forever.

At the time I was dating my now husband and I had complained of being sick for about two weeks. I had stomach pains and was nauseous constantly (not just in the morning!!!)

One of the first questions the nurse asked me was a general question that is normally asked for women visiting the doctor..."Are you pregnant?"

I replied with a simple no as I had done everytime I visited the doctor.

I WAS mistaken!

I remenber hearing before that if one nurse leaves and two come back you are in for a shock! (something that happened many times over this journey)

...You guessed it! Two nurses came back in. I thought for sure I was dying of some disease. (I can become quite dramatic=))

One of the nurses (she was defnitely pregnant) relayed the news that I too was pregnant. Her face had shown so bright with a beautiful smile I couldn't help but smile back....
...and then came the tears.

This was not a joyous occasion for me because at the time I thought this is NOT what I wanted to hear, my life was over.

I was mistaken yet again! Little did I know how much I would come to love and cherish my beautiful daughter.

MY life was just beginning!
