The rest of September was okay but I was starting to show so I spent less time with my mom because I didn’t want her to notice my stomach, I still saw Ashley almost every day and we still spoke on the phone every day.
I can’t believe it’s already October and I still haven’t told anyone, it’s still only Ashley and I who know about the pregnancy. Today I’m going for my 4-month check-up and Ashley is taking me there even though it’s during the week and I’m supposed to be at school, I told Tumi that I’m not coming to school because I’m not feeling well. Ashley got here at 9am and we left for the doctor’s appointment
Me: Babe I look fat and disgusting
Ashley: You are not fat, you are pregnant
Me: The darker circle around my nipple is getting bigger and darker and my boobs are getting bigger and feel kinder heavier, this is just awful
Ashley: You will be fine my love, hasn’t your mom noticed anything?
Me: I’m not sure hey, but she has been commenting a lot on my weight gain, she says we should slow down on eating at restaurants
Ashley: Babe I think you should tell her today
Me: Not today
Ashley: If not today when?
Me: Why are you being so damn pushy!?
Ashley: I just think the sooner you tell her the better it will get for us
Me: Then tell her
Ashley: Maybe I should
Me: I will tell her when the time is right
Ashley: Nosi you better do it today
Me: Fine, I will tell her today
Ashley: Good
Me: Whatever
We arrived at the doctor’s office and already my mood was spoiled by Ashley, we got in and the doctor asked me to lie down on a bed next to an ultrasonography and then he drizzled gel on my stomach and checked the baby, Ashley was right by my side holding my hand
Doctor: There’s your baby right there, he/she is now about the size of your hand, growing and developing all his/her senses. By the look of things, you and the baby are coming along just fine
Ashley: Wow thanks doctor, so when will we know the gender?
Doctor: On her 5-month appointment
Me: Oh
Doctor: I will give you a prescription for all the pills you need at the pharmacy
Ashley: Okay, thank you doc
I got up and wiped the gel off my stomach, after the doctor gave us the prescription we went to the pharmacy and bought all the pills needed, after that we went to eat
Me: You know… todays appointment got me excited about the baby
Ashley: I got excited the minute we found out that you are pregnant, I just can’t wait to start buying tiny baby clothes
Me: And I can’t wait to find out what we are having
Ashley: I know right
Me: This gave me all the courage I need to tell my mom
Ashley: Do you need me there?
Me: No, I will handle this on my own
Ashley: Have you told Tumi?
Me: No I haven’t told anyone, you?
Ashley: I haven’t told anyone either
Me: I think I should write a letter to my mom, I don’t think I can tell her face to face, I’m scared
