As I stated in my first post, I have started this blog to help me gather information about how to have a positive pregnancy. I want to start by getting as many people as possible to answer a weekly question about their pregnancy. Please tell your friends and pass on this blog to as many mommies as possible, the more answers I can get the better. Also, I will share my answer to the question. Here goes....
This week's question is: How did you know when you were ready to be a mommy?
My answer: I have always wanted to be a mommy. I was very into dolls and babysitting as a kid. But I really knew I was ready when I married my husband. He was my high-school sweetheart and I have known him since I was 16. After high school we went our separate ways and reconnected a few years ago. The day that we said "I do" we knew that we wanted to start a family right away. It just seemed as if all our little ducks were in a row and that there was no time like the present to begin the next phase of our lives. I started wandering the baby aisles of Target and Wal-Mart, I could spot a baby bump from a mile away! Knowing I had a hormonal imbalance that I had yet been able to control, we began meeting with the fertility doctor. Turns out we didn't need it - 6 months after our wedding, and 2 weeks before our first big appointment, we found out we were pregnant (without complicated medical interventions) and were on cloud nine!
There! Now that was easy. I look forward to hearing from many many mommies. Thanks for your participation.

I really didn't ever have that strong urge to be a mother. In fact my news of expecting was a total surprise. However I think that was the only way I was going to become a mother was to have it be unplanned, and I'm so looking forward to it.
I'm one of those "realistic" people and everything has to be perfect to move onto the next step... well life would never have been perfect enough to knowingly enter motherhood, at least for me.
As my husband puts it, that's why pregnancy lasts 9-10 months because God wants to give you time to digest and adore the idea. :)
I always wanted to be a mommy, too. My mom made it look like so much fun. I agree with Yoga Mama, though- 9 months is plenty of time to get ready. I might also add that no matter what kind of row your ducks are in, you're never really prepared, are you? Enjoy the moment; and be open to the changes that motherhood brings into your life; each one is a blessing.
