After feeling like I had a bad flu, I pleaded with Dr Pip to give me something for the nausea. Before she did, she completed a quick pregnancy test and it came back positive! We did another one just to make sure. Surprise, surprise! I quickly raced home to tell Fred before my dentist appointment because I knew I’d have to tell the dentist if I had needed anesthetic! I couldn’t possibly tell the dentist before my husband, right? After my appointment I drove out to the farm to tell Mum and Dad….. who were jumping up and down with excitement! A memorable start to the big adventure!
Motherhood is about raising - and celebrating - the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that she is exactly the person she is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, she just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be.
