Have you ever been part of a conversation where someone asks you where you were when...? It usually occurs when something negative happens, but for me I try to remember where I was when good things happen too.
19 years ago I was working for a nature based gift store and I was feeling really run down. I was on my break and laid my head down and fell asleep. Being so out of character for me I knew something wasn't right. My coworker joked that I was acting pregnant. I was amused because there was no way I could be pregnant.... or could I be? The thought planted in my head I decided to buy a pregnancy test. That night I took it and sure enough the lines were there indicating I was indeed pregnant. I was terrified.
How was I going to tell my mom? I was a single woman and just shy of my 19th birthday. My firsts thoughts were "Oh great, I'm a statistic". It sounds harsh but if I said I felt any other way, I would be dishonest. My mom and my family were excited, though. I struggled being pregnant. I had morning sickness the entire time, being unable to sleep I would sleep in an arm chair because it was the only way I would get any sleep. I didn't like being pregnant. I knew from the moment I found out my life would be forever changed. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing but it would surely change.
My life changed for the better. I would put headphones on my tummy so E could listen to music that would calm him, I read stories from a fairy tale book I purchased and to this day it still sits on his shelf. His first song he knew all the words to was the song I played on my tummy. This baby was going to be my entire world and nothing would change that.
I have watched him grow into the most respectful and thoughtful young man, I have ever met. My job of being his mom will be a permanent one. I am so grateful for him every day. Despite my fear in the beginning, I was made for this. I found my best job. It is the one job that fulfills my heart and my life in ways any other job I have had could never.
Where were you when you found out you were pregnant?

I was married and it was just a few day before our 5 year anniversary when we found out. I was TERRIFIED! Like close to passing out terrified.
ReplyDeleteAfter trying very many writing services and freelance writers, I came to their essay writing service very skeptical. I'm very keen on details and I'm happy to say that Expert-writers service has proven to be very keen as well. Updates have been provided frequently as per requirement, and the final submission is very well done/written. I've already recommended them to my two college-going sisters.
