While on our trip on the farm there was a goat. I don't know if you can tell, but we sure could in person. There is something unusual about this goat.
We didn't think the wide hips were just some extra weight. And so I use this goat expecting some kids to make an official cyberspace announcement of what many/most of anyone reading this already knows.
We are expecting a new baby. Baby is due January 13th, 2011, so I am just over 16 weeks along. We do not know gender yet, but we do want to find out and hope to in two weeks at my next doctor's appointment.
Now for me just a word about being pregnant. I believe it is the worst thing ever. I miss liking food, I'm tired of my body ruling my life. I can't ever ignore it, even just for a little while, because it will rebel and make me wish I hadn't. Pregnancy has not been kind to me in any sense. One of people's issues is the weight gain, and I will be very excited for that. Right now I feel like I'll be lucky to get to my pre-pregnancy weight before I have the baby. I've lost somewhere between 10-20 lbs, depending on how you measure it. I do not like that Sam-I-am. It gives you an idea of how I've felt. But I am grateful for drugs, which allow me to keep any food down at all. I'm also grateful that finally I think that second trimester promise is starting to kick in. Although just when things seemed to be getting better, I had to go and get the stomach flu. Luckily when the flu went away so did morning sickness. I've actually felt completely human for most of this week.
Alright - enough complaining. Things I sort of like. I have already felt baby move. Its sort of early on a first pregnancy, but I'm pretty darn sure. And its nice to have that reassurance that baby is healthy. Its a slightly uncomfortable feeling, but sort of fun.
Baby is cute. The following pictures are from my first appointment, so I was only about 10 weeks at the time, but they are pretty good.
So there. I'm very excited to be a mom. I'm excited for this journey. And I'm already looking forward to January when this whole prego thing can be done with!
Yay!!! Congrats! Hope you get feeling well soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! We are super excited for you! You are about 8 weeks behind me! hopefully your little cooperates better during the gender ultrasound then mine did.
ReplyDeleteYea! I'm so happy for you! And I"m so sorry you've been sick. I can sympathize with you! If you need any sickness ideas, I tried a lot of things!! I didn't loose that much weight, in fact I gained the weight I should with both pregnancies-how? I don't know? I got well aquatinted with the toilet too. But, I started feeling much much better around 16-18 weeks. Then the next few months were great....but the end=not so fun again. But the outcome is well worth it! Yea, you'll be a great mommy!
