I can't believe I'm already three months pregnant. Time has gone by so fast and I find myself waking up in a panic about having everything I need to do, done! I'm sure this is a common feeling for most mothers to be and even more so for first time mom's. Considering I'll need double of a lot of things, I start seeing dollar $igns! Thoughts come rushing through my head of how am I ever going to get TWO babies ready in the morning for church or work? Everyone is so encouraging and says, You'll just do it! Wish I was so confident!
Had my first baby dream the other night. I was at the doctors office laying on the table while they were checking out the babies for any birth defects. (This test is next week and it's been on my mind a lot.) So there I am and one of the nurses takes out a baby from my tummy and says..."Looks really good, weight is great and Oh yep...it's a boy! But I need to put this baby back now." She proceeds to put the baby back in when I shout, "What about the other baby? Did you check it?" She says yes...it's a boy too! I started to cry! Then thoughts start flooding my head that I now have to sell ALL of those girl clothes in my closet on Ebay! If God gives me two boys...I'll be happy and just know that God has a sense of humor. I woke up grateful it was just a dream. Jorge and I had a laugh about the whole thing and can't wait till we find out what we are having.
Yesterday at work I needed a few minutes to myself so I went into Babies R Us. That place scares me and is so overwhelming. Where the heck do I start? I will need a serious list to follow and ask lots of advice as to what other mom's couldn't live without. We're on the right track and already have the nursery done minus one crib. Doc's tell me to get as much done as I can by week 25 because after that they don't want me doing anything. That's what I do now! Nothing! I am waiting for that second trimester energy to come around like everyone keeps telling me. Poor hubby is cooking dinner, doing laundry and taking great care of me. Last week I actually mustered up enough energy to make dinner without getting sick. It felt so great to take care of my family for a change.
I am still in awe of how much God has so richly blessed me. His love and grace cover me and I know I will never be worthy of it. He has given me two precious little ones to bring up in His ways and I will certainly honor Him by doing so.
