March 14, 2000

Well, I'm 12 weeks now. Two more and I'm out of the first trimester. My emotions have been as scattered as scattered can be these past few weeks. One minute I'm thanking all the Gods ever thought up for this wonderful gift and the next I'm wondering what ever possesed me to want a baby! I mostly feel good about the whole thing but sometimes I wonder if I'll be a good mom at all. I know I will be but it's so scary. This little person will depend on me for every thing it'll need. If I'm not there, it can't even eat! I guess I feel sort of, well, trapped. But only sometimes. :) Mostly I'm excited and I can't wait for September to get here. I'm going to be the best mom I know how to be. Me and my Bug can learn together. Every mom has to start somewhere, right? :)

Oooh, and here's the 11-week ultrasound piccies!! See the li'l eyes and hands? :) So adorable. My little alien. :) Until next week!
