The beginning of the week brought some changes and realizations in the Smith household. Do you realize that in 4 months, we'll have a baby? HOLY COW! I know I'm pregnant, but that means A BABY! You'd think we'd realize this, and maybe T has. But there have been so many other things on my mind for the first 5 months, like say keeping food down or the horrible pains in my side.
So on Monday, we went to visit a daycare option. When I found out I was pregnant, I called and stopped in a couple of places and got on lists right away but really didn't do a lot of research. I was just happy to be on a list and frankly, overwhelmed by being pregnant.
But while checking out a daycare option, it's not just about the facility. I'm supposed to ask questions. Really? Questions? What kind of questions? I know there are Mom's reading this and just laughing at me. And that's ok.
I've been reading since Monday - lots of reading. And honestly, experiences like the tornadoes yesterday are put in a new perspective while considering a baby. What is the emergency storm policy? Tucking your head between your legs and kissing your ass goodbye just isn't an option with my kid. I'd like it to be a little more thought out than that.
I'll admit that I have not done a lot of reading about being pregnant cause frankly those books freak me out. It's 10,000 pages of all the stuff that goes wrong and a paragraph intro about good stuff. If I am uncomfortable or worried about an odd feeling, I ask someone.
But I guess it's time to start reading about parenting....
