I have gotten so much support from my high school( Ashley) and college ( Denesia) besties. These 2 women have helped me through my years in school are now able to be my mentors during pregnancy. They are first time mothers as well , but were both 8 weeks ahead of me in gestation. It has been exciting to hear about their experiences and brace myself for what's ahead of me. So far, they have both been encouraging and motivating. I'm so lucky to have them in my life.
Yesterday, was soooo exciting. I woke up to text messages that my homegirl, Denesia, was having contractions. I can't explain the excitement. I was glued to my phone all day for updates. Later in the day, she informed me that she was sent back home because it wasn't quite time. I was still excited and optimistic that her child was coming. I even got to witness a contraction over the phone. That probably wasn't the highlight of her day, but I was so honored to share in this special time. Later in the day I got more messages that she was progressing and that her baby girl was on her way. This morning, I woke up to baby pictures. God is amazing and so great. That baby just captivated me. The whole premise of giving birth is intriguing to me despite delivering babies in med-school and being pregnant myself. I just admire my friend for being so strong and so amazing to give birth to such a darling baby. I will never forget this experience. Now, I am just counting the days until Ashley gives birth, Ahhhhhh!!!!! this is such a blessed and joyous time. It makes me excited to want to see my own baby girl, but I can wait because I know beauty takes time; I want her to be as healthy as possible. I'm 31 weeks today and those next 6 weeks to term just seem like a dream.
