I’M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW TO SHARE THIS STORY, I’M STILL TRYING TO SORT OUT MY FEELINGS ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. THERE WERE A LOT OF UPS AND DOWNS. I WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF EMOTIONS PROBABLY MORE THAN ONCE. HOWEVER, THE END RESULT IS WONDERFUL BECAUSE WE HAVE A HEALTHY LITTLE BABY GIRL AND SHE IS DEFINITELY WORTH ALL THE TURMOIL, THE WORK AND THE PAIN.
I THINK I SHOULD START MY STORY ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 9TH, THE DAY I TURNED 36 WEEKS. THAT WAS THE DAY THAT I LOST MY MUCUS PLUG.
