Becoming a Mom

This is me, Shirley.

I am a very healthy woman because I go outside a lot.

I exercise a lot, and I enjoy it a lot because it makes me feel really good.

But today, my nose is running. It’s weird because I don’t get sick often.

And I am really tired. I am not sure what is happening to me. Maybe I should go to the doctor.

I am a little bit worried. I think I know one thing that this might be.

I take a pregnancy test, and right now I am waiting for the results.

And it is positive! I am pregnant! I am going to be a mom! There is a baby inside of me!

My belly is getting bigger all the time. Pregancy is very difficult!

They take a picture of the baby inside of me with a machine called a “ultrasound.”

I try to work, but I get so tired. Pregnancy takes the energy out of me!

My husband, Paul, is very excited to be a dad. Our baby is going to be a girl! We spend a lot of time thinking about our future daughter.

I buy girl clothes for my baby because I am so excited. The baby clothes look so cute!

Paul loves our little baby. We watch as the baby moves inside of me. She is coming soon!

It is very painful to have a baby. It takes a lot of patience to get ready for the baby to come out.

So they give me medication. It helps me feel better, and I am now ready for the baby to come.

Then, the baby comes. She is so beautiful, and I love to sit and look at her.

I am so happy to be a mom, and I have such a strong connection with my daughter.
