I’m expecting a baby, but I’m not pregnant. I don’t suffer from morning sickness. I won’t ever feel my baby kick me from inside. I will never give birth to a baby. I don't know who will hold my baby first or who will hear the first cry. And that’s okay.
I have so many friends who are expecting, except unlike me, they have the cute pregnant belly. And by being pregnant you have a general idea of when your baby will come. I have NO idea. It could be significantly less than 9 months (that would be awesome!) or it could be years (ugh).
When you’re pregnant, you have the choice to find out gender. If I was pregnant, I would find out for sure. I’m a planner and not big on surprises of that short. We might get to find out if the birth mom wants to know and then again it could be a suprise if she doesn't want to know. And that’s okay too.
While there are definitely some differences between being pregnant and waiting for a baby via adoption, there’s a lot in common too. No matter how we’re expecting, we’re excited. We have hopes & dreams for those babies we’re all waiting for. We love those babies before we even meet them. We wonder what they will look like, what their personalities will be like and we all pray for good sleepers.
Even though I don’t have a pregnant belly and I don’t know when my baby is coming, you can still treat me like any other expecting mom. We’re excited, happy and we want to talk about it! Just don’t touch my belly.
