Mommy in waiting- Expectations vs Reality
- Blog
- Posted: April 20th, 2020
Nine months is a very long wait for you to meet someone and I swear every day seems like a lifetime. The anticipation and curiosity grow stronger the closer you get to your due date.
With every kick, you will find yourself wondering if they took your eyes, his nose, your lips and then you will get to the part where you decide that your baby will be a better person if they had your personality or if they took their fathers.
During the pregnancy wait, you become a Picasso of note painting an image of how your precious gift will turn out. Dare I say you play a puzzle of putting together the pieces of the character, structure and just their mannerism.

My AriBear is 17 months and has dimples on both cheeks (just like
grandpa) and she has Mommy’s complexion, but she remains her daddy’s
girl through and through. What we hope for and imagine during pregnancy
is far from what we get when they finally arrive. It knocks your breath
away and is and will remain the most perfect moment in time.
The image you had created in your head will just disappear and
that puzzle you built will fall away when you come face to face with the
little person. They suddenly become someone you know but just met. You
know that feeling you get when you click with someone and you just feel
in sync with them when you cannot imagine a life without them because
they fit so well into the life you have.
After I gave birth I was numb, anxious, shocked and just in a haze. I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that Hubby and I could have done something so beautiful and when all those feelings subsided I was hit by a wave of love and a need to protect my new found love.
Keep building that puzzle and being Picasso, it will keep the pregnancy moving and you will have something to look forward to. You can share with Daddy or anyone close to you in your building and painting expedition it’s fun and feeds the curiosity very well.Ari’s Mommy…
