I waited three minutes for the pregnancy test results, the longest three minutes ever. I cannot express how I felt, I had so many mixed emotions. I felt Nervous, Excited, Love and Happiness. For a day or two it did not even feel real.
The first twenty weeks were not easy. There were times when I was not sure if I could make it through, I was diagnosed with Hypermesis gravidarum. I was sick all the time and I am certain I would not have been able to go through with James supporting me. He took care of me like never before and he was always there for me. He truly is my best friend.
On our twenty week ultrasound we found the sex of our baby. We were thrilled to know that we were having a boy, what a pretty sight he was. I could not get enough of him. It was pretty clear that we were having a boy from the ultrasound. James always told me we are having a boy.Our family's have been thrilled and they have been there for us. We can see how excited they are and they are all waiting for Aavan's arrival. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people.
As the weeks pass by, I feel it is another day closer to holding my son. However, I still don't feel prepared. I am nervous and I am not sure how will I take care of someone so tiny. I love talking to my little one and singing to him. I had never imagined that you could fall in love with someone you've never met, here I am today insanely in love with this little guy whom I am yet to meet.
