Butterflies

Finally It's December. The month in which I expect to see my baby for the first time. After my long wait to see the gynecologist, last week I finally had my appointment. I had to go to town by ferry at 8. I walked to the hospital and was there by 8:45. And then, I waited and waited and waited, and waited. Of course I was not alone. Another 30 or so pregnant women were also waiting. And I can say you don't want all those hormones in one room. First they eat, then They drink, then they have to pee,.. ALL at once. And there are only 2 bathrooms on that floor. Then there babies start to kick, and they get restless. And then the complaints start. The backstabbing comments, and people trying to get in before someone else. My turn came finally at 1:30. I went in to see the doctor. And to my surprise she told me that I was at high risk for Pre-Eclampsia. She told me she was worried and that I might have complications. I was shocked and just stunned. She recommended that I rest. This was going to be hard , because due to the fact that I had to wait so long, I had already missed my boat home, Which meant I had to wait Longer for a boat and I would only be sitting on a chair for another few hours. Next week I see the doctor again. I've been having some light cramps, and I feel like the baby is descending. THANK GOD. I just want to feel the first contractions and know that I will have the baby.
