The happiest times

I know that my first two posts show I am a little angry and frustrated while dealing with my pregnancy. But I need to set things right:
1. True, I am angry and frustrated. My life has changed completely, I am afraid of what is coming including the birth itself and managing the relationship with my husband. I am afraid of so many things.
2. I am also aware of this happy time. Don't think I can't see it. This is the best time. Now my baby is with me all the time, I can protect and care for it in ways only a mother can understand. Both myself and her are healthy (I feel it's a girl so from time to time I will refer to it as "her" because this is the first pronoun that comes to mind when I think of my baby). After giving birth I know everything will be more stressful. So now I am also enjoying this moment. The moment when nothing bad has happened, the moment when people smile at me with no reason (some people even say that I glow, but I find it extremely hard to believe that), the moment when I can allow myself to eat some delicious sweets that I normally refrain from (that moment is not here yet, but I heard it's coming immediately after the morning sickness goes away). So yes, I am also enjoying myself and my pregnancy. This is happiness. But it comes with some hormonal changes that sometimes make me see only the empty half of the glass. And I am training myself to ignore these times and to focus on the full half. I am working on it.
So if you went through it and if you understand this roller coaster that is the emotional part of pregnancy, I hope you can relate.
I wish you all the best and for all the mommies out there: good luck and be confident, we can do this!
