Wednesday was a big day for NBC anchor Jenna Wolfe. The Today Show weekend host came out as gay with her girlfriend, NBC correspondent Stephanie Gosk, and announced her pregnancy in a special appearance on Today. Due with a baby girl on August 27, Wolfe called parenthood “the adventure of a lifetime.”
Wolfe will be blogging about her pregnancy. She posted her first entry on Wednesday. “Of all the jaw-dropping, head-turning and eye-popping things I've ever told my friends and family ("I swam with killer sharks," "I jet-packed 30 feet out of the water," "I scaled the tallest building in Canada"), nothing garnered more shock and awe (and, yes, some tears) than when I told people I was pregnant,” she wrote.
“Just writing those words -- "I'm pregnant" -- is surreal to me. After all, I was never the kid that ran around playing house,” Wolfe continued. “I never had daydreams about being a mom and raising a family. I was the kid who jumped out of trees and skinned my knees and taunted bees. As a kid, I would have chosen raising my adrenaline over raising children any day of the week.”
“Two years into a great relationship and we felt like we wanted to share our adventures with a wide-eyed, little person. The more we talked about it, the better the idea seemed. And so in December, we embarked on Operation Baby. And might I just add that despite the morning sickness, it's been the best decision we've ever made,” she wrote.
“This blog isn't about stating the obvious to swarms of amazing women who've had children. It's instead about documenting my fears, funnies and follies that come with doing this for the first time,”added Wolfe. “I've never changed a diaper. I don't know how to decorate a nursery. I don't really understand what a breast pump is. And don't get me started on the feeding schedule.”
