I have been very hesitant in writing this post, so many of my other posts became a sad reminder of what might have been. I also had so many people saying to me, "don't buy anything untill... don't tell anyone until....
Some of those until dates were at the 12 week mark fo gestation, some felt this was a good time to acknowledge a pregnancy. Others said wait until 20 weeks, and even some said wait till the 22nd week. Well here I am at 24 weeks this Tuesday and it is official, I am having a child. The due date is going to be May 31st, 2011.
I can't believe it is really happening this time, it's been nearly four years since I signed a contract and began this process. Six attempts, two miscarriages and ten's of thousands of dollars (money well spent). So it is OFFICIAL, I am going to be a father. I marked the occasion of the 22nd week to go out and by a few things, first it was just a teddy bear. Then it was some sheets, a onesie, then a comforter. And today the room is nearly complete, with crib, lighting, art, a theme and a toy chest. I will post pics soon, of the room and of the current babies room (an ultrasound. I have had a few ultrasounds sent to me, however it is very difficult to distinguish the little person. In the next couple of days I will receive my first 4D scan, I am very excited for this.
The image above is the baby at 19 weeks, I can't believe it's really mine. I will post next the names of the little one, a fitting tribute to my Mother.
Speak soon, so much to talk about.
