This week we move into WK 14 of this pregnancy and therefore into the second trimester. I thought this deserved some sort of party, but settled for a date night with Kevin over the weekend... He even opened my door - TWICE! Someone this week referenced me and said I can't believe you are three months pregnant and for some reason this sounded so much better to me than 13 weeks. Three months feels like some sort of accomplishment, so in my book we are three months in.
It is a strange time however because as I begin to look more and more pregnant, I actually feel really good and had a great week at the gym. I got personal records on two different lifts so maybe the baby is actually making me stronger. I am excited to be well into the pregnancy now and it is odd to talk about things like Christmas and New Years realizing that we will be bringing home sweet Baby O just a few weeks after the holidays in early February.
It was another long week at work as I settled in from being out of town, and actually gear up to head back to Denver in two weeks for our Holiday Meeting. The good thing is that when I get back from the meeting, I get another appointment with the Dr. and get further confirmation that Baby O is growing big and strong. I had to wait an extra week since I will be out of town so it is a little stressful going so long without reassurance, but Kevin keeps promising everything is fine so surely nothing could be wrong. :) Also this week we headed to visit my Aunt Marty and Uncle Wes. Both my brothers and my cousins were there so it was a really nice day spent in the pool catching up and joking around. It was one of those moment where I remember being the kid in the pool flipping off of the diving board, and next time we swim in their pool, I will probably be floating Baby O around the shallow end. The trip wouldn't have been complete without a gift, and this one is precious. My Aunt Marty gave us a stuffed bunny tor Baby O because when I was a little girl, I carried around a stuffed bunny for years. I can't wait to put it in the crib!
Now onto the questions... belly pictures ahead! You are welcome Morgan.
Are you feeling sick?: I think we are past that...
Are you sleeping?: Not so much. my pillow helps sometimes, but it may be time to bring our big bed from Springfield so I can stretch out.
What was the best moment this week?: Date night with Kevin was nice. He gifted me with a charm for my Pandora bracelet - the baby carriage charm. It was very sweet.
Do you miss anything?: I miss feeling like myself. I have been lucky to not be sick, but I am definitely a bit out of it.
Any cravings yet?: Doughnuts... then another doughnut.
Do you want to know if Baby O is a boy or a girl?: I CANNOT WAIT TO FIND OUT!
Any other symptoms?: Can't complain.
Mood lately?: Strange. Like I mentioned above, just not myself. Maybe this baby is just sucking the personality out of me.
What are you looking forward to?: Can't wait to work on a nursery. It is looking like home will be the apartment in Arkansas when Baby O first comes home until our lease is up and we can pick out a new house down here in the summer. Fingers crossed the house sells and we can make the move sooner rather than later.
Baby Bump?: Growing.
Need any maternity clothes?: While some pants have been retired, I am making it work in what I have.
Happy Olympics season everyone! Go USA!
