My husband and I recently discovered that we were expecting our first child. Like most couples, this has been a very exciting time for the both of us। As we have announced the news to our family and friends we have recieved the customary congratulatory reactions and enthusiasm that one would expect from news such as ours। Nothing was so interesting;however, as was my recent induction into the unrecorded secret society of those women who have experienced the joy of motherhood.
They say there's a glow in your eye, the pregnant woman's dead give away which opens the door to magical remedies of how to tell what sex your child is, how many children you'll have, and so on. Indeed you hear the tales of gruesome first trimesters and labor pains, such things they would never dream of telling you till it was too late. In fact, these unscientific, unapproved by americas surgeon general, and definitely not chicken soup for the mother's soul pieces of advice actually are quite helpful, insightful, and interesting.
I'd like to share them with you....but you must be inducted yourself. So rest assured ladies when you see that double line, like a scene out of the hulk or spiderman or xmen or something you'll have entered that society. And don't be surprised if, as you've seen in one of those crazy horror films, you hear a knock at the door or the phone ring...it has begun.
