In just four short days, I will be going back to the OB for another check-in. I will hear the heartbeat and hopefully see our baby moving around in the gelatinous good that my abdomen has become. For now, I will simply celebrate the 12 week mark.
Assuming that all goes well during my check-in on Friday, we will celebrate this coming weekend. Pregnancy has its immediate rewards, you just have to look for them. In the mid-term, I'm keeping a list. . . a list that I hope to share with our child in the future.
I call it the "SHIT YOU DID WHILE YOU WERE IN THE WOMB" I plan to add to it as we go.
1. Shot trap with friends in March. It was cold and you were so little that you could have rivaled the size of a BB.
2. Helped celebrate my 35th birthday at a hoosier bar. You imbibed plenty of fake drinks and shots through the night.
3. Hiked the saturated hills of Castlewood Park so that we could survey the swollen Meramec River that surged over its banks and on the lower parking lots and trails.
4. Gutted and replaced an entire bathroom. You did none of the work and neither did I - but we endured while the potty was bare bones.
5. Accompanied your cousin, Rose, on a trip to Chicago to see the sights and over indulge with the shopping on Michigan Avenue. I was too paranoid about the pregnancy to buy any maternity clothes. You inhaled everything from Portillo's to Gino's East. Amazing appetite for someone so tiny.
This list will keep going. As will this pregnancy.
