Just thought I would give a little update on my pregnancy...I read a friend's blog and she had this fun little survey. It's a good update for people and also for myself to be able to look back on someday since I don't keep a journal.
So, THANKS Kellie for posting this survey.
How Far Along: 32 weeks exactly!!
Size of baby: Not sure! I'm a little disappointed that the clinic I go to only does ONE ultrasound during an entire pregnancy. After working in 3 different OB clinics, that's a little foreign to me. So I just keep hoping he's not Giant!!
Maternity Clothes: Sore subject. I'm still wearing my regular jeans however I haven't been able to button them for quit some time. I only have 8 weeks left so i'm trying REALLY hard to not have to buy ugly expensive maternity pants but I have a feeling I won't make it :( I can still wear a FEW of my normal shirts but I don't think that will last much longer either.
I guess it looks like I need to go shopping soon, grrrrrrrrrr!
Gender: A very active baby Boy!!!
Name: I never thought picking the name would be the hardest part!!! There is one name I really like but neither of us are sold on it yet. So as of now his name is still Baby!!
Fetal movement: He is VERY VERY active!!! Eric is getting prepared to be chasing him all over!! ;)
Sleep: I sleep Great so far! Besides the CraZy dreams, nothing has really changed in the sleep department. Although I know that will coming to an end Real soon!!!!
Cravings: I HATED anything sweet and craved vinegar and mustard in the beginning but now my eating habits are normal and I don't really crave anything anymore. It just seems like i'm Always hungry!
Symptoms: As I mentioned earlier, I have worked in a few different OB clinics and have seen some HORRIBLE pregnancies. So, I can't complain at all!! I have had a SUPER easy pregnancy so far...knock on wood! BUT...I have now entered the "wonderful" world of swelling. It's the worst thing ever and it seems like just over night, I've decided I'm over being pregnant and I hope the next 8 weeks Fly by!!!!
Weird Things: I still think it's so weird that there is a little human being inside of me. :)
Worries: I think I have the same worries as most first time moms. Of course I worry about the rest of the pregnancy and hope he is born living and healthy. I also hope that I will know what to do when he gets here. My life will forever change and I hope I'm ready to be the Best mom to my sweet son!
Best Moment of the Week(s): The Best moment of Every Week is feeling our little boy move. He is extremely active and I could sit there all day with my hand on my stomach and feel him kick, roll, cartwheel, hiccup, and whatever else he does in there.
Appointments This Week: No appts this week. Our last one was Friday. We are right on schedule and got to hear his little heart just beating away!
What I'm looking forward to: Being DONE!!! I can't wait to hold him and kiss him and love him!!!!
Learned/Realized: I have learned that pregnancy really is a miracle. It's AMAZING to me what the human body can do. Grow another little human being from a sperm and an egg! WOW!!!!
I've also realized that I really do have the most AMAZING husband in the Entire World!! He has taken care of me and has been by my side through all the ups and downs!! I couldn't ask for a better person to be the father of my child!!
