Motherhood Throwback

****This blog was written on February 4, 2008, the day Kerrington was born. ********


This, my second and last pregnancy, has been a wild ride. First off, this pregnancy was a total surprise. I like to say I had Christmas in July. There were some complications, but none of them were related to my pregnancy. I have had more dental work done in the last 6 months than some people have had in their lives. I also had a really weird surg ery. I'd tell ya, but it's pretty gross! :) My skin went crazy like last time, only not as severe.

I have enjoyed the pleasantries and privileges that are often extended to preggers. (Much love to Mrs. Bilunka who took over my 6:45 a.m. cafeteria duty because I didn't need to be sweeping and because she loves to sweep. Girl please, nobody loves to sweep.) I have also been intrigued by coworkers and my students who didn't know I was pregnant until I wore a shirt that said, "It's a girl" during my 9th month.

I tried really hard not to use my pregnancy card too much, but towards the end I milked it. ( A special thanks to Woody, Kathy, Ruth and Montoyia for going above and beyond. I appreciate you being my shoulders to cry on, my favor doers, my lookouts and my sounding boards!!!)

By this time tomorrow I will be a mother of two. Me! The one the doctors predicted might not ever conceive!! I feel so blessed! Motherhood is not for the faint of heart, but it is for me. I can't wait to see how I do the girly girl thing. Stay tuned....

Signing off....
