After our update at the doctor's office telling us we are measuring ahead, and a week long work trip to Denver working double shifts I have forgotten my name let alone what week we are in for this pregnancy. After a quick review of last week's post I was reminded that we are now in WK 12, moving into WK 13 on Wednesday! That means we are almost out of the first trimester. We are slowly but surely knocking out weeks, and my belly is slowly but surely getting round.
After visiting Denver to set a store this week, Kevin and I headed to the lake with my Mom and Dad to relax. We did miss the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, but were able to get in some good rest and lots of sun! One thing I have decided is that it is just not fair to our baby to be born during an Olympic year. As we have watched the qualifying events and now the 2012 games, Kevin is trying to decide what our child is going to do to get to the games. Should we get them into a pool as soon as they enter the world, or do we start gymnastic lessons as soon as they can walk? Should we focus on a sport that seems like it may be easier to qualify for or do we go for the glory in one of the big shows? So many decisions to make... and let me remind you, we have yet to pick out a single piece of baby furniture, but we have mapped out our child's Olympic experience. What else are we supposed to do with our free time? I can't drink for crying out loud. :)
One sport he or she may be involved in if they inherit their father's pitching ability is baseball. Not only does Baby O already have a rookie Cardinals onesie, but now, thanks to my Dad, the baby has a commemorative teddy bear from the 2012 MLB All Star Game. He included the beads so that Baby O would know what day Grandpa White picked up this little souvenir. Thanks Dad!
I don't know if Baby O will ever realize how much he/she was thought of so many months before they were even born, but I am sure that he/she will always feel the love from all of our friends and family who have already began showering Baby O with gifts and prayers for healthy development... by the way... keep those coming!
To the questions!
Are you feeling sick?: Thankfully NO.
Are you sleeping?: Better now that I have my pea pod pillow. Kevin says it looks like I am sleeping with a bean, but hey, it makes my back feel better!
What was the best moment this week?: This week was a blur. I have enough belly to rub now so I am kind of enjoying that at the moment.
Do you miss anything?: Being able to eat a sandwich without heating up my lunch meat.
Any cravings yet?: This week it was fruit snacks. Every time I saw a bag I bought them... and I may or may not have eaten an entire box by myself in the last 24 hours.
Do you want to know if Baby O is a boy or a girl?: Of course. We are already planning a dinner with family to make the big announcement after our WK 20 appointment.
Any other symptoms?: Still feeling good... trying not to get cocky at this point. :)
Mood lately?: Too tired to be moody this week.
What are you looking forward to?: Shopping. I can't justify buying anything at this point without knowing gender so we are just holding our breath.
Baby Bump?: I don't know if it is as obvious as it feels, but when I was in a bikini at the lake this weekend, it was unmistakable!
Need any maternity clothes?: Still no, but it is only a matter of time.
I hope everyone enjoys their week!
