Knowing you're half Asian, you should already be good at Math. Knowing you're good at Math, you've probably figured out and calculated that I've started this blog 10 weeks into having you. So here's catch-up on all the funny and not-so-funny things:
1) I first found out I had you when we were at Auntie Susmitha's wedding in New Jersey. It happened the night before her big day and I wanted to go out drinking and partying with everyone but things were a bit off so I took a pee test. First test was a mess, I pissed over the whole damn stick. Sure enough it was positive and your dad said, with how I did it I would've made any test positive. So we did another cleaner one. Immediately, the positive sign came up and we were so surprised. It was unreal because I never thought I would be able to ever come to this point in my life. We called Meemaw and Gramma, Po-po and Auntie Julie, then we broke the news to everyone at the wedding. We tried to do it with tact, but sometimes we just can't help show our excitement. Little did I know that the next few weeks would be absolutely agonizing ....
2) The nausea set in really fast. I have tried to exercise as strong of a will-power as I can get to not hurl. (The image of starving you of your nutrition and food was enough to keep me strong) But it didn't always work.... last week your dad farted and I lost my dinner ...violently. If you're old enough to read this, you're old enough to know how bad your dad smells sometimes.
3) Work was tough. Suddenly I had the skills of a bloodhound and was able to pinpoint with precise accuracy how long a person has gone without a shower. And my churning stomach was quick to point that out. This made some of my encounters with patients absolutely unbearable.
4) We saw you on the ultrasound! You were a small jellybean with a small beating heart. Unfortunately our midwife had a machine from the 1940's and you were surrounded with what looks to be a couch, TV, coffee table next to you in my uterus. The midwife said they were pieces of placenta forming. Looking at the picture, I bed to differ. Hope you have DVR.
5) One night I had a dream that you got hold of a laser pointer. You were trying to shine it through my belly for fun until you found my vag. I looked down in betwixt my legs and was amused to find a full-blown laser show reminiscent of Jenner Lopez's music video "Waiting for Tonight" complete with planets and stars. I woke up laughing.
6) I had a scarey dream this weekend of losing you. Your dad was there and I was just waking up in my dream only to find myself lying in a pool of blood. I woke up from this dream crying and wailing. I promised myself not to b*tch anymore about feeling nauseous or at how horrible being pregnant is (sorry that promise didn't last long). Truth is, it could still very well happen. I've accepted this. Although I wish for it not to happen, I want you to know that I will always love you, no matter what, and you will forever be my baby.
