[mama..me??]

my username?? i chose it the day i got my positive test and i was like what???? me? a mom??!! so thats why i made it that but now im so used to it i feel like im acting like a mom already!

yes for a girl: mia (meeah) hodiya (hodeeya) which means thanks to g-d
and for a boy: Yitzchak and i havent thought of a middle name
.. prob cos i think im having a girl... althugh my parents are putting pressure on me to call my girl baby esther cos it was my grandmas name, but to be honest i didnt like her and im not a huge fan of the name.

im giving birth in a hospital but i havent decided on how.. im absolutely petrified of giving birth where there arent sufficient amount of beeping machines and doctors esp cos its my first and i really am not clued up on what to expect.. but my amazing sister in law is training as a doula so she is a pool of knowlege and amazing so im very lucky there.. shes gonna help me decide what i want

yes i am working now, i work in a school with special needs children and i LOVE it!! they are my babies and i have to say it is amazing how my life has worked out, im such a worrier and the only thing i am not worried about in this pregnancy is the baby having needs when it is born because i know how beautiful and what a blessing special needs children are.

I LOVE BEING ASKED QUESTIONS!

By the way my name is Sarah

[mosesface]

hi sarah!!

do you have any pets?
where do you live and do you like it there?
what has been the most unexpected part of pregnancy so far (good or bad)?

[mama..me??]

hi!!

nope i dont have any pets
i live in London, i like it, but its mental expensive to just get by so i find that hard but i have my whole support system here, my husband is from manchester and i think he finds it a bit lonely down here at times. it can be quite a cold city.

um, the most unexpected part? EVERYTHING! its so not how i imagined it would be, i always imagined it would be this amazing time were i just felt fantastic and was so excited, but really although it is amazing, im finding it quite difficult, i feel completely out of control, i barely recognise my body and i dont know myself, my hormones have completely taken over so i am now incredibly feisty which i never was before i feel like a crazy woman, storming around all the time... and i dont want to shout it from the rooftops cos im so scared that the more ppl that know the more ppl would know if g-d forbid something were to happen i feel like this is the biggest step i have ever taken in my life and now everything is out of my hands..

g-d that sounds depressing!

i work in an integrated nursery (mainstream and special needs) its half day and the kids are about 3-4 i really love my job and to be honest apart from needing to work in a school/nursery to be able to finish my teaching degree it was just luck that led me there.. the yr i started teaching there my nephew was starting there as a mainstream child so that kind of pushed me, but actually i really belived that it was all from g-d.. as i was so lost in my life before i started at this nursery i wasnt sure what i wanted to with my life, (apart from get married and be a mother) and i had never found something i was particuarly good at but here i really felt like i had found my calling and i felt like i was really good at it and i came home every day proud that i was ding something to help people that i was GOOD at.. me!! good at something,it was really great!
I would like to have 4 or 5 kids and then when im abut older and my kids are grown up i would like to adopt or foster, maybe even a special needs child..

i like most music, soft rock, maroon 5, that type.
what do i do for fun?? hmmm i used to sing in choirs and stuff but now i just like to go out with my friends when i find time!
thanks for asking!

which name do you like? for my kids or my username?
i was trying for 5 months before i got my bfp it felt like so much longer at the time, but in retrospect i was very lucky.

[Jezzy]

I like both, your user name and the kids names!!

Are there some special things you want to do before the baby is born? (i.e. go away for the weekend with your dp, etc.)

Do you plan to co-sleep or cloth diaper?

What are you most looking forward to about being a mom?
