I will be a mommy around February 14th!
I know that I waited a long time to announce this big news. I found out that I was pregnant in the middle of June. There were so many feelings involved when I first found out! I didn't know what to do. But after a short hour I only felt nervous. I had to tell my parents. I knew that they weren't going to be excited at first. My mom wasn't happy at all. She thought about my future and I understood. I had thought about my future also. 'Was I still going to be able to finish college?', 'Would this all work out?', 'Can I really give my child the best?',...
You can never predict the future because you never know what the future will bring. That's why I live from day to day. I enjoy the little things in life. Life is so precious!
My future will definitely change, because I'm going to be a mommy. Continuing my education will be challenging. It is my dream to become a midwife, but even if I have to go to school a year longer, I'll still make sure to get that degree. I want to focus on school for the next couple of months, while I enjoy my pregnancy of course. After my baby is born, I'm staying home a couple of months to take care of my little one. I will continue college in September 2015.
I waited long enough to share this beautiful news. Of course I told my family and friends a while ago. But after 25 weeks, I feel that this is the right moment. The most insecure period of my pregnancy is already behind and everything is going great. My baby is healthy and growing really well. Time is flying by so fast... Before I know it, I'm in the hospital giving birth to my beautiful child!

Being a single mom doesn't scare me. I'd rather want my child to grow up with a mom who goes for it for one hundred percent, than also having a dad who doesn't go for it at all. This guy wasn't ready for it, and that's his choice. I am ready and I really want to take my responsibility to take care of this new life. The guy isn't in the picture anymore and I hope that people will respect that. Everyone has his own opinion, which is normal, but it was his choice to repudiate all responsibility. Staying focused on that, isn't fair. Not for my child, and not for me. I know that I can give my child all the love that he or she needs. And in the end, I'm not alone. I still have my family and friends who got my back and who support me.
I'm very happy with my little munchkin! A child is a gift, sadly enough not that easy for everyone. It's so special to be pregnant! I see pregnant women all the time on my internships, but being pregnant myself is even more fun! It is really strange to have a little "human" growing inside of me, who is going to call me mommy. But it is also beautiful to look at him or her during the ultrasounds, knowing that he or she is being really cozy inside of my uterus. I can't describe the feeling! Feeling all the kicks, which was really weird in the beginning, is so comforting! Knowing that the baby is moving and letting me know that everything is alright, is just one of the most amazing things! Even putting my hands on my belly... My baby will almost always kick or just move really gently. It is really special!
Big kiss,

It is all going to be a big adjustment, but I'm excited! My training to become a midwife is actually a really good preparation on motherhood. Usually I am the person who helps new moms and dads with their newborn. That's what I love to do! Giving babies a good first start into this new world. The love you can give to and receive from children, that's what you do it for. Of course I don't know what it really feels like to become a mom, but I've seen this many times in the hospital during my internships. It is something amazing and I can not wait to look into the little eyes of my own baby for the first time!
I'm going to try to write a blog every couple of days or weeks to give you all an update about my pregnancy. This is a way to make sure that everyone knows how we're doing. And it's also a nice "souvenir" for in the future. Maybe my child wants to read all of these blogs when he or she is older, you never know!
Big kiss,
Meike
