It's official... I have cooked half of a baby. Since I am not sure which half it is, I will allow him/her to stay cozy in my belly until baby is fully cooked. I am generous that way. Kevin and I decided that... Ok, I decided that it should be a national holiday. Kevin thought it was just another week, but I was sure there would be a medal of some sort. Instead, we settled for a bottle of sparkling grape juice and a good nights sleep.
Now that we are halfway, everyone wants to know if we are having a boy or a girl. Finally, the week has come where we will have an answer. This Thursday we get to go visit with the Doctor and find out if we are going to be buying bows or bowties. Saying we are excited would not even begin to describe how we are feeling as I am currently counting down the minutes until we get the word.
This weekend though my focus was turned to another big event, the bachelorette party of Miss Morgan Becker. She decided she wanted to celebrate her big celebration Eureka Springs style which meant whistles and straws that resembled the male anatomy, a great dinner at Emelios, lots of walking down stairs and a few drag queens. It was an epic night and Morgan is pretty sure that judging by the pictures she had a blast so I am going to call the evening a success! The countdown is on to the wedding in December and the hope that we can zip Baby O into the bridesmaids dress.
Other than that, no major developments. Baby O continues to grow and his/her movements are becoming more and more prominent. I told Kevin that his prediction that the baby will be an Olympic swimmer may be right because sometimes it feels like the baby is swimming laps in there. Also, I am getting excited about my baby shower that we are trying to squeeze in before the holidays this November and want to send out a pre thank you to my amazing sister in laws who are planning the fete for Baby O.
Onto the FAQ.
Are you feeling sick?: I only got 3 hours of sleep after the bachelorette before I had to get up and head back to Bentonville to get set up for a meeting so right now, I wouldn't say that I feel sick... but I do feel like a zombie.
Are you sleeping?: Now that I have dealt with the fact that I will have to give up a little space in the bed to make room for my giant belly pillow, I am actually sleeping much better.
What was the best moment this week?: Celebrating Morgan was great because she is not only excited about her wedding, but she is pumped about Baby O and being able to spend time with my friends was awesome.
Do you miss anything?: 5 hour energy. I have started enjoying a small cup of coffee every once in a while so caffeine is making an appearance on the scene, but I miss being able to do the major energy shots when I need a jolt.
Any cravings yet?: Nothing lately
Do you want to know if Baby O is a boy or a girl?: 4 MORE DAYS UNTIL WE KNOW!!!!!!!
Any other symptoms?: Feeling good.
Mood lately?: Well... I can't figure out why this baby feels the need to not only take over my body, but has also decided to drive my mood off a cliff like we are Thelma and Louise! I texted Kevin this week that I had an overwhelming urge to eat an entire cake... and then cry. When he asked me why, I told him that I really had no idea, but both things sounded like the right thing to do. I thank the good Lord everyday that Kevin just keeps smiling through this whole thing. :)
What are you looking forward to?: Gender reveal day... have I mentioned that it is this week?
Baby Bump?: Round. My belly has gone from this pudgy mess between by bust and my waist to a nice round bump overnight.
Need any maternity clothes?: Needing them more and more. My regular clothes don't exactly fit in a way that makes me feel super awesome, so I am thinking it may be time to be a little more accommodating to my new body.
Have a great week!
