That's exciting! Congrats to your friend!

I didn't really think I wanted kids either...until we had an "oops" pregnancy while I was taking birth control last year. I ended up miscarrying very early (around 7-8 weeks)...it was a heartbreaking experience and even in the short time before the miscarriage I completely fell in love with the idea of being a mom. It was really hard to see all these people at work and just around out and about who were pregnant...and it was hard even seeing my boyfriend's nieces and nephew without thinking about how much I now wanted to be a mom now.

I'm so very happy and excited about this pregnancy and how well things are going so far. I don't kid myself and think it's going to be easy...I know it will be VERY hard taking care of a little one with all my own health issues...but we will make it through. This little one will be very loved...and that's the most important thing.
