Four Months Later
I'm now nine months pregnant and it's a very nice fall day in Colorado, 70 degree weather, beautiful clear day, and my baby's scheduled to come next week! I'm excited but terrified, I'm excited because the adventure of Motherhood starts, and I'm terrified because I don't know if I can handle it. I feel like since I'm still young I don't have a lot of wisdom about even being a mother.
I started reading baby books up in Scarlett's room to practice for when I can start reading to her. As I'm reading I hear the phone ring, and of course it's Courtney. When I answer she sounds extremely stressed, "What's up Court?" I ask, "I can't believe this... I can't believe this! My... my mom she... got in an accident..." Courtney says, her voice cracking, about to cry. "Oh... god, is she going to be ok?" I ask. "I-I think so... she's in the hospital right now, the hospital didn't call me yet to tell me how she is." She's crying through her words. "I-it's ok... it's going to be ok, she might not even be in that bad of condition." I say trying to calm her down. "I... I guess you're right. *sigh* I'm going to hang up and wait for the hospital to call me. Bye." Courtney says then hanging up the phone. "Shit, I hope she's ok." I think to myself.
Later as I'm sitting on the couch downstairs watching T.V... I all of a sudden feel a sharp pain in my lower stomache, "OW! Shit!" I say loudly. Oh no...! Is this what I think it is?! Is the baby coming a week early?! I think to myself. I start to freak out and call my mom, good thing she's home so she answered pretty quickly. "Hey Theresa." She says in her normal energetic sounding tone. "Mom... OW! I think the baby's coming! I feel a really REALLY bad pain in my lower stomache!" I say loudly and in pain. "When's the baby supposed to be do?" My mom says surprisingly calm. "Uhh... ooow... next week." I say. "Oh... don't worry the baby's not coming yet. It's normal to feel this pain when the baby's so close to being ready to be born." She says. "Yeah you'll be in a real whirlwhind of hell until then." She adds. "Ouch!... well that's great." I say.
I can tell this is going to SUCK!
