Well....first of all I never wanted to blog because I never thought I had anything relevant to say. But, that has all changed in the past 2 months. I am going to be a mom, and it is truly a miracle. I was going to get a journal to document everything, but I know me and I wouldn't write in it. So here goes blogging. As long as I could remember, the only thing I ever wanted to be is a mom. I never had great aspirations as a career woman, but not to say that I don't like work. I love to make my own money and feel that I contribute to our income. But, I never found that career that I really love.
I have had a really crazy year. I decided to have surgery on my feet to fix my hammer toes. I knew that it would be painful and that the recovery would be long, but it was so much worse than I ever could have imagined. I could not take a shower or walk for 3 months. Then I had to go through physical therapy to learn how to walk again. Kevin was so incredible during this time. He cleaned, cooked, and drove me to work everyday. I knew after this experience that he would be a terrifc father. I finally was through the recovery period, but my left foot still hurt. It felt like I was walking on a softball. My podiatrist said that I must be feeling the screws, and that they must come out. So, that means another surgery....my third in a year! I was extremely upset, but I knew I had to finish this thing so that I could get pregnant and carry this baby for 9 months.
We went on vacation to Naples in early July and decided that we would not "try" this month since I knew I was going through surgery in early August. We had a great time! About 2 weeks before my surgery, I realized my period was late. I decided to take a pregnancy test while Kevin was golfing, never thinking that it would be positive. Well...it was and I freaked out. I went back to Walgreens and bought 4 more tests. They all came out positive right away. I was shaking uncontrollably and somewhat sobbing out of happiness and fear. What about my feet? I know this is selfish, but they hurt so bad just carrying my weight. I called Kevin and told him to come home, but he was playing in a tournament, so I told him I was coming up there. He asked what was wrong, and I told him that I could not tell him over the phone. He called back 5 minutes later and asked if I was pregnant and I hung up on him. When I met him up there, I had all the positive tests in a bag. He was so excited and we hugged for a while. I told him I had to call my mom and he said ok. I called her sobbing and sounded so excited. We talked on the phone all day about the future. Everything was so exciting.
