It is that time of year again!
Today I had an appointment with Dr. Hamrang for my annual exam. Joy, I know! This was the first appointment I have had with Dr. Hamrang since my check up after Vance was born. As silly as it sounds, I was looking forward to being in that waiting room again, to see the kind nurses that helped Web & I through our pregnancy, to show off pictures of our sweet boy, and to be around pregnant women again!!!
When I walked through those doors it was like walking through a time capsule! All of the memories and emotions from our pregnancy came rushing over me like a tidal wave. It was so bittersweet! The nurses were just as kind as I remembered and the waiting room, although crowded, had a warm familiarness to it. *If you can't tell, I LOVED being pregnant!* Did all of these emotions make me want to have another baby...ABSOLUTELY. Am I rushing home tonight to "color" (sex and the city)with Web in hopes of getting pregnant...the time is not right ;)!
And as I sat in the exam room with my "napkin" on, I heard something so beautiful through the walls...
A young woman was hearing her baby's heartbeat for the first time! I began to tear up as I thought about hearing Vance's for the first time, how sweet Kelly felt as she too experience that joy she long awaited for, and for all of the heartbeats not yet heard!
I AM TELLING YOU LADIES, THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN BEING A MOTHER!

That is so true! I loved being pregnant, too! I was never sick and just enjoyed every minute. Hopefully, you'll get to do it again before too long! :)
You are an amazing mother. And all of the best advice and "true" stories came from you while I was pregnant. That was truly the best gift you could've given me. I know you and Web will be blessed to have another baby. In the meantime, have fun COLORING!!!
First of all, I have to say again that the text you sent me yesterday from your exam room about made me wreck the car because I was laughing so hard! Secondly, I love you prego too... you were pregnant when me, you, and La began to get close - who knew you'd have a baby and two sisters too! ;-) I can't wait for you to be pregnant again and welcome another little Hutchings! In the mean time, enjoy coloring... and you'll know when the time is right for another one!
Oh, you are too cute!! I loved being pregnant too. Well, at least after the first trimester was over ;) W. will be 11 next month. Yikes!! Sometimes I wish we would have had another child, but now I just live vicariously through others!
Thank you for the reminder! We've had a busy day of being almost 3 and very strong willed today. Plus, we didn't get to run around this morning outside because of the rain. We're all a little cramped and grumpy today, it seems. But I need to pause and remember how precious my little two girls are and how I wouldn't trade having them in my life for anything.
So far, my pregnancy hasn't been too fun...but it is so worth it after everything we went through! I will NEVER forget hearing my baby's heartbeat for the first time...or the second!
I know what you mean. When I go in the doctor's office, those sights and sounds definitely take me back. However, I ALWAYS think about the time I fell OFF the examining table after my exam. Oh, yes I did! I wasn't pregnant at the time, thank goodness. But, I guess if I had been then I could have used the excuse that my balance was off because of the baby belly, but no, it was pure Leigh Ann-ness plain and simple! So, if you ever need a laugh while you are at the doctor, just think about me totally busting my rear as I fall of the table! Oh gosh, I'm red just talking about it! Vance is such a lucky boy to have you as a mom and I'm so glad you had a great prego experience (me not so much). I can't wait to hear when there is another little Hutchings on the way! :)
I thought this was a cute and funny post! Some of your "expressions" made me smile!! :)
You are so right. Nothing better than being a Mother. I have 2 boys and would not trade it for anything. I also LOVED being pregnant. I will never have that feeling again, but I LOVE to spoil Dawson!
