So, I’m not pregnant.
WHAT?!
Okay, I am not trying to get pregnant, nor did I really think I was pregnant. But I did pee on a stick yesterday.
You see, a post-pregnant body goes through some major changes. And sometimes, these changes are confusing and I, for one, am sometimes confused as to what they mean. So, I had to check. Just to be sure.
Peeing on a stick this time felt so much different than all the previous times I have peed on a stick. Before I was pregnant with Cameron, I had taken a few pregnancy tests. Every one of them was full of so many extreme feelings. There was the Oh my gosh, I really would love to have a baby! mixed with the Holy monkey brains, now is NOT the right time to have a baby! We are not ready to be parents!
Now, the feeling is different. I am much more calm and confident. I know it is way too soon for us to be getting pregnant again. But, if we were to, there would be so much less fear and anxiety. First of all, I know that we can do it. We are good parents and I think that Cameron has a great life. Secondly, even though having a baby is a lot of work, it is so worth it! I can’t even express how wonderful it is to be Cameron’s Mom and how I look forward to adding joy and love to our family by having another baby.
Eventually we’ll try for another baby. And even if another baby comes before planned, we will joyfully accept that baby with open arms.
But for now, I am happily a Mommy of One.
