This weekend we were paid a visit by Baby O's other set of grandparents! We ate, Lynn swam, the boys watched the Yankees and then we ate some more. It was great to catch up and to have them here during this exciting time. We got our first gift from the Ools as well. He/She will enjoy bath time with this adorable hooded towel and some finger puppets. A big thank you to the Ools for making time to visit and taking such good care of us while you were here. I will be taking you up on that offer to overnight NYC bagels when I have a craving, Lynn.
In other news, it is appointment week! I am going back and forth between being overwhelmingly excited to being scared to death of the remote chance that the Dr. finds something wrong. I am focusing on the positives... I have had no signs of trouble and have had nothing but positive reviews from the nurses I have seen up to this point. My growing belly indicates that either there is a baby getting big and strong in there, or I need to cut back on the carbs. Wish us luck on Wednesday when we get to hear our sweet baby's heartbeat for the very first time.
The other exciting thing about the appointment this week is that once we hear the heartbeat, and get a good report from the Dr. we get to announce the arrival of our family's newest addition to the world. I can't wait to share the amazing pictures we had taken and finally tell all of our friends and family who have yet to hear the good news how excited we are.
Finally... I know... can there be any more excitement you ask... I am going to pursue a new opportunity at work. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about my position at work being elevated after our job analysis. another result was that a new position was opened up that would be another promotion. I was able to apply this week and am hoping for an interview soon. This would be an exciting new challenge, a great opportunity, and just in time for Baby O, a nice little pay raise. Please send good vibes my way as I prep for the interview. Onto the FAQ!
Are you feeling sick?: What little nausea I have had has passed. As long as I keep food on my stomach, I am good to go!
Are you sleeping?: Not great, but I have ordered a new pillow I am hoping helps this situation improve. If I have to be sick, or uncomfortable, I will take a little discomfort any day.
What was the best moment this week?: I was glad Lynn and Eric got to be here to share in our excitement this week.
Do you miss anything?: I would have really enjoyed having a cocktail at one of the many dinners we had out this week. Ok, I would have liked three or four cocktails.
Any cravings yet?: Not this week. Nothing really sounds good lately, but I guess that is better than stuffing my face all day.
Do you want to know if Baby O is a boy or a girl?: Duh!
Any other symptoms?: Still a bit tired, but nothing too bad.
Mood lately?: Pretty good... I think. :)
What are you looking forward to?: I have a feeling hearing the heartbeat this week will be life changing. I cannot wait!
Baby Bump?: Slowly but surely rounding out. It is pretty obvious at the gym in tight tank tops, less so at work in flowy tops. We will see how many people admit noticing a bit of a belly after we make the announcement.
Need any maternity clothes?: It may be time to invest in some Bella Bands.
