first few months

So after finding out we were pregnant, I of course wanted to find out everything and go shopping already. We visited the midwife at the hospital once a month. All was well. Until about 3 months along, I was at work and didn't drink enough water. I got faint and almost passed out. My husband had to take me to the Triage center of the maternity ward where they were going to insert an IV, but I decided to rather down a gallon of water in an hour. Pretty hard and a lot of peeing happening, but much better then an iv. After that day, I always made sure to drink over a gallon of water a day. So my little baby was growing like crazy. I was still wearing regular clothes and very happy for that.
Every month I was thinking more about our future as a family. About the babies nursery, about the baby shower, about everything we needed to be prepared, and about everything I needed to know in order to make sure I was giving the baby everything while inside me.
While I was pregnant I felt so sure of myself. It has always been my goal to be a mother, and it was finally coming true. So this was my calling in life, to bring this soal to the Earth and raise him as best as I could. My ultimate wish is to have a big family and be a stay at home mom. Home schooling the kids, baking and cooking, and being a good mom and wife. I still think about this every day, and can't wait for the day when I can quit my job and be home with my baby everyday.
So yes this is what I had always wanted. I was so happy to have this life inside of me. Anyways, four months in I had an ultrasound, which is seen in the blog previous to this. Found out it was a boy. And started making more plans. 2nd trimester is to come in the next blog...
