Becoming a Mom
This is me, Shirley.
I am a very healthy woman because I go outside a lot.
I exercise a lot, and I enjoy it a lot because it makes me feel really good.
But today, my nose is running. It’s weird because I don’t get sick often.
And I am really tired. I am not sure what is happening to me. Maybe I should go to the doctor.
I am a little bit worried. I think I know one thing that this might be.
I take a pregnancy test, and right now I am waiting for the results.
And it is positive! I am pregnant! I am going to be a mom! There is a baby inside of me!
My belly is getting bigger all the time. Pregancy is very difficult!
They take a picture of the baby inside of me with a machine called a “ultrasound.”
I try to work, but I get so tired. Pregnancy takes the energy out of me!
My husband, Paul, is very excited to be a dad. Our baby is going to be a girl! We spend a lot of time thinking about our future daughter.
I buy girl clothes for my baby because I am so excited. The baby clothes look so cute!
Paul loves our little baby. We watch as the baby moves inside of me. She is coming soon!
It is very painful to have a baby. It takes a lot of patience to get ready for the baby to come out.
So they give me medication. It helps me feel better, and I am now ready for the baby to come.
Then, the baby comes. She is so beautiful, and I love to sit and look at her.
I am so happy to be a mom, and I have such a strong connection with my daughter.
