Alex's Grandparents have been spoiling me with maternity clothes and a new stroller! It's not here yet but I am so excited to have it. It will be the first thing that makes this seem real-I mean the sonogram is great but my "baby bump" is more like just some extra weight I am putting on...so it doesn't really seem real yet. But I'm sure having a stroller in the house and putting the car seat in the car will help me grasp this whole "mommy" thing I'm about to embrace-forever. Oh gosh.
In all my research about future doctor visits, healthy foods, good exercises, baby needs, mommy needs, etc. I've been reaching out to some very helpful friends (with super adorable babies). And they have been such a big help! My friend, Carissa, has been so wonderful at calming me down and reassuring me about little Peach's health. Who knew pregnancy would be so stressful?? Thank goodness for friends that have ventured into motherhood before me-and recently-so I am comforted. Hopefully they never get tired of answering my questions and concerns!
Since I figured nothing else has really been happening (expect my lack of documenting this pregnancy and overwhelming amounts of rain and thunderstorms here in Georgia) and in light of my constant asking of questions to friends, I'd do this pregnancy questionnaire I found. Here goes:
How big is baby? I've read the size of an apple or an orange-but since we've already dubbed the name "Baby Peach", I like to say the size of a peach.
Total weight gain/loss: meh, almost 10
Maternity clothes? Yep! A few days ago when I got some in the mail, but that's only when I go out. I hate clothes to begin with so you can imagine what I "wear" most days...
Sleep: Pretty good, some tossing and turning, but naps during the day make up for it!
Best moment this week: We went to the store and I convinced Alex to buy us some chocolate snack packs. Oh yeah!
Movement: Nothing yet, at least I think...does movement feel like gas? TMI? Oh well.
Food cravings: Salt! A few days ago I was literally packing the salt dispenser in my purse. Not ok.
Food Aversions: anything that smells too strong
Gender: No idea and it's killing me!
Labor Signs: I don't think it would be a good thing for me to be having any this early...right?
Pregnancy Symptoms: Weight gain, a few headaches lately, nausea and emotions!
Belly Button in or out? In!
What I miss: Laying on my belly with ease, my friends, Texas and all things in it-but that's unrelated to pregnancy.
What I am looking forward to: Knowing the gender and my family's visit this month-to the beach! Christmas-AKA the baby's arrival :)
Upcoming appointments/events: 4th of July celebrations (long weekend with Alex!!)
Weekly Wisdom: What does this even mean? I'm pregnant, I don't know what I'm saying or wanting half the time-pregnancy brain is real.
Milestones: Baby Peach is the size of a peach! He/She did it-what an awesome baby we have.
