As a first time mom you can say that I'm already a nervous wreck...mind you that I'm only 25 weeks pregnant! Ok, maybe nervous wreck is a little strong, but I feel like I'm walking into a party where I don't know anyone and it feels like everyone is expecting me to do something really embarassing or brilliant.
We found out on May 29 that we were having a little boy. For some reason I felt like I knew that it was a boy - don't ask me why. For someone who's never had an inkling of mother's intuition before in her life, I just knew it was a boy. I don't know if the thought delighted me, scared me, or both. I come from a family with one older brother and two younger sisters. I've never been around baby boys, much less taken care of one. I know how to be a girl - act like a girl, dress like a girl, sit like a girl, pee like a girl...but a boy?!?
Needless to say, we are thrilled. Overwhelmed and nervous, but thrilled. I know we'll do ok, and I know we'll have our mistakes. I think this little boy is going to be loved no matter if his mom knows how to pee standing up or not!
