How to have a child
How I did it: We did not plan this. My daughter was a surprise gift. The pregnancy itself was not so great. I was really sick the first 5 months. On top of that, I had some family issues because my fiance and I were not married. In fact, my parents had never really been introduced to him. After 10 months, or so, our beautiful baby girl came into our lives. She is everything I could ever want and then some.
Lessons & tips: Expect for people to touch your tummy without asking. and expect people to ask stupid questions; ex. "What are you expecting?" (The correct answer to that is "Well, we were hoping for a vampire, but I think we could settle for a human.")
Resources: Your doctor.
