So I’m having a baby…

When I became pregnant with Della, this was pretty much my first thought, quickly followed by “… and NOW what??” Well, after a couple rounds of “OH MY GOD, I’M PREGNANT!!!!”, that is.

The first time around I’d heard and read so many “don’t do this”s and “don’t do that”s, that it was hard to keep everything straight in those first few weeks.
