Favorite Things About Being Pregnant So Far:
- I've been trained my whole life to "suck it in", obsessively make sure the number on the scale is not going up, and stress if the jeans I bought in high school are fitting a little too tight. Now I find myself "pushing it out" to prove to people I'm starting to show, I'm not excited when my weight goes up but I know it's a good thing, and the tighter my clothes get the happier I become because I'm actually seeing some results from all this hard work.
- Listening to the funny things Mark says when he's talking to the baby.
- Seeing the ultrasounds and hearing the heart beat.
- Hearing other people's stories from being pregnant and coming to the conclusion that I'm not so crazy after all.
Things To Look Forward To:
- March 25. This baby better be ready to put on a show so we finally know if we're having a boy or girl. I am prepared to give my first motherly lecture if the little one is unwilling to cooperate.
- Feeling the first little kicks. The thought of this really freaked me out at first, but I've had enough time come to terms with the fact that there is a little person inside of me that us currently the size of an avocado.
- Buying clothes and setting up the room. I can't really begin any of this until I know if it's a boy or girl!
- Choosing a name already. Mark is unwilling to participate in this activity until after March 25th. I am determined not to be one of those people that waits until they see the baby to name them. The more I can have planned before then the better, there will be enough to do!
