What I like least (I always like the bad first):
- breaking out (hormones)
- craving all sorts of sour, fatty, and sweet things
- lacking energy to work out
- getting bigger and not having as many choices for things to wear
- maternity clothes being SO expensive
- feeling breathless so quickly
- people I don't really know touching my belly
- getting my blood drawn a lot
What I <3
- everything not listed above
- feeling the baby move
- seeing the ultrasound
- being consistently amazed that I have a BABY in me
- looking at maternity items
- looking at nursery/baby items
- anticipating the next day, week, month, and year - where I will have the chance to experience all sorts of firsts :) (first movement, first kick, first contraction...etc)
- the love and support from Jeff, family, and friends
- thinking about my FAMILY - because it's going to be real!
- people I love rubbing my belly/talking to the baby
- continually challenging myself to be the best mom (making sure to stay on top of everything - even if it means sleeping on my left side or doing crossword and sudoku to keep my brain sharp)
I have been looking at TONS of maternity things and things for the baby and I am just so excited. I want some ridiculous things - like a Kate Spade or Burberry Diaper bag...and I've also seen a juicy couture stroller/lacoste stroller... but as cute as those things are, I am being realistic about what I can afford and what we need. :)
There are all sorts of questions for when the baby comes...at times it is overwhelming but I know that everything will be okay in the end. I feel the baby move all the time now..little flutters and bubbles in my tummy all day long. It is so exciting, but I am obviously exhausted.
Until next time.
