So, today I found a blog that had all of these birth stories, which I think are always fun to read. I just like hearing all the different experiences women have and all of the different perspectives. However, in a few of the stories I read today, I found myself getting a little jealous. No, not of the pregnancies themselves (though- yes, I DO want to get pregnant eventually), but of the “surprise!” pregnancies.
You see, I doubt that there will ever come a day, where I’m casually thinking “My! I don’t feel well, and haven’t for a couple of weeks! Oh! And whaddya know! I’ve missed my period!” Cut to me in the drugstore, and then taking a test, and calling Ian saying “You’ll never believe it! I’m pregnant! I didn’t see this coming at all!”
Don’t get me wrong, I know that I’ll be super excited when I finally do get pregnant, but I do sort of wish that someday there could be an actual “surprise” baby. I kind of feel like it’s sort of like knowing a marriage proposal is coming before it does. Yes, you’re happy that you’re getting engaged, but you already knew it was coming!
Anyway; I’m not trying to say that one way is better than the other. Just sometimes I wish I didn’t have to be so aware and deliberate about it all.
I do know though, that in the end, it won’t matter how it happened. I’ll just be thrilled to have my little one in my arms.
