Yay, I finally got a baby widget. Of course I was dieing to get one asap but I just couldn't bring myself to do it before now because the babies looked too weird and freaked me out. Now that I am 13 weeks the baby looks pretty normal so I can handle it.
I have been very blessed and have not been sick at all which I am so grateful for. Working in people's mouths and throwing up doesn't seem like it would go well together. I am a little nauseous here and there and tired ALL the time but I have always been a good sleeper so that hasn't been a problem for me :). I also don't like chocolate anymore which is super weird because it used to be about 50% of my daily diet. So, I have been eating fairly healthy (minus the weird corn dog craving) which has been a nice change for me.
Like I said, I am 13 weeks today so my estimated due date is July 27th. Last summer I was a water park with Nick and there was a hugely pregnant mom there with her toddler and I thought how miserable it would be to be that pregnant when it's so hot. Well that's what I get for thinking that.
Right now I am beginning the "fat looking" stage. I have heard all my friends talk about this point and think that's where I am now. I don't have a baby belly at all but I always feel bloated and my clothes are getting pretty tight which I can't stand, I have never been the skin tight jeans girl, and when I put on a shirt and check out my profile it looks like I just got done at an all you can eat buffet! The weirdest part is that I feel so bloated but I have only gained like 2 pounds. I used to weigh ten pounds more than this in high school, why does this feel so big?
I have waited a long time to finally decide to have children and yet it all seems to be happening so fast. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and think I should have waited a few more years. But we felt like it was time so I know everything will work out (like who my baby is going to stay with when I go back to work?!?) and I just have to keep telling myself to have faith.
I REALLY want a girl and have the perfect name all picked out and everything. Matt wants a boy and I have to admit that I kind of feel like that's what it's going to be. I feel so bad for wanting one sex so much more than the other and am trying to get myself pumped up so I won't be disappointed if it is a boy. If it is a boy Matt has a name all picked out, I didn't like it at first because it's not as unique as I would like it to be but maybe it will grow on me.
Anyways, we had a really nice Thanksgiving and Christmas at home this year which I am so grateful for. Honestly I have been an absolute lazy bum the past few months and hope that this exhaustion eases up soon. Matt and I decided not to do Christmas for each other this year and do Sub For Santa instead. We still did a good Christmas for Nick (nothing too special, just a bunch of toys). It was a really hard year. I don't know what it was but I have never felt so out of the Christmas Spirit. I usually LOVE Christmas time and even with all the service we did it still just didn't feel like Christmas. So next year we decided that no matter what finances were like we were going do something thoughtful for each other for Christmas and hopefully I won't spend the entire holiday season hibernating!

ReplyDeleteOh Chanci.......don't worry, you will feel fat and bloated for like the next year, but it sure is worth it! I can't wait to see you w a cute belly and just try to enjoy these moments, they fly by and everything will work out in the end.

ReplyDeleteAnd Wendi, between the two of us we HAVE to have at least one girl!
We are the same! I'm due Aug 1st. And the corn dog thing made me laugh because I totally craved them when I was pregnant with Jack. Congrats, and I'm hoping for a girl too.
