I have received so many wonderful & touching e-mails asking why am I not diving. If you have read any of my posts, you know me to share from my heart and generally do not hold back...
so I guess it is time to come clean I found out a few weeks ago that I am pregnant. :wacko: I am a little over 9 weeks and doing well. I didnt announce it immediately because I wanted to give us time to come to grips with the news & tell our families.
For those of you who dont know much about me, I had been told for the last 10+ years that the chances of ever getting pregnant much less carrying full term were slim & none. So to find out that I am in fact pregnant (and have gone this far into the pregnancy) is a gift and blessing. This is the most incredible and scary not to mention emotional time of my life. At first, I was a bit scared to tell people because of my situation. But as each day passes I am reminded of how blessed I am and that I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. I may not have the picture perfect situation, but everyday I thank God for what I do have. The father of my child is someone who I love, respect and who is my best friend! Both my family and his are not only supportive but almost estatic about the news. My friends and co-workers have been incredible so who could ask for more?
We go for the first ultrasound on Thursday and have been told we should be able to at least see our babys heartbeat! To say that I am excited is an understatement!
So again, I thank all of you who have been concerned about my disappearance and my sabbatical from diving. My due date is currently December 18th and since I will be having a C-section, I figure it will be at least March 2004 before I can start blowing bubbles again. I do plan on getting some snorkeling in, and at least I can live vicariously through all of the experiences posted on the Board to help keep my craving for diving somewhat manageable!
Thank you again for all of your wonderful e-mails!
