Nerves and learning the art of patience

Tomorrow is the big day, our first OB/Gyn where there is more involved than a pap smear and plumbing check up.  It is the first time where I have to be concious of another being being "cooked" as my girlfriend Lynne said today.

I've been wanting this day to come for so long so I can know for real that I'm pregnant.  I'm a basket of nerves and am hoping that everything is ok.  I read all about what to expect in the book "What to expect when you are expecting" and "pregnancy and over 35."  I shouldn't be this nervous, I'm familiar with the sturrops and cold "salad spoons" as well as an ultrasound.  I know what that is, I certainly had a few of those in my life.  I guess my friend Frank put it in the best way "tomorrow will cement it that you are going to be a mommy and we all will be here for you."

I am glad my in-laws are driving because I wouldn't be any good to the traffic gods.  I just want to know what I am allowed to do and not allowed to do because this house is a dusty disasters, do they make condoms for dust bunnies <G>.

I am eating the best I can, nauseausness is making eating hard.  I crave Apple Juice and Gatorade Fruit Punch.  I am learning to be patient and to let stress go.  I don't want to hurt the baby and if I'm tired, I take a nap.  I am trying to look in the mirror and not see a fat person but a pregnant person.  I lean on my friends as I can always count on them to be there for me.

I would like to feel something, emotionally.  I want to let go and be excited, I wish I had the nerve to let go and be excited.  Maybe tomorrow.  Tomorrow will be here soon enough.
