… here he comes!
Have you ever experienced a time when you have wished so much for something, maybe waited (for what seems like) an eternity to get it – and when you finally got what you’d wanted for so long, you had no idea what to do with it?
Oh man, am I ever living that now!
For several weeks, I have been trying to think up some clever way to write all of this down … but my brain – or, rather, my wit – just can’t think of anything, well, witty.
Perhaps that’s because sometimes there really is no better way to say something than just saying it. So, what I guess that means is … what I’m trying to say is …
I’m pregnant!
16 weeks pregnant, in fact! And we’re having a boy!
Now what do I do??
Besides sleep!
Perhaps I should consider myself lucky as that really is the only ‘symptom’ I’ve had to try and combat over the last several weeks. Which, Aaron can attest to, I have failed miserably at! There have been many days when I’ve packed a pillow and blanket in the car just so I could have a noon-time nap at work! So pitiful … but so worth it!
We’ve seen the doctor a few times now and he’s happy with how everything is looking. I haven’t had any morning sickness, nor have I experienced any real nausea. I do get light-headed if I stand for too long without leaning on something and I don’t have much of an appetite, which has sometimes lead to not feeling well simply because I haven’t always eaten when my body has wanted me to – seeing how nothing has sounded good! Oh the irony.
But, as each day passes, I’m able to spend more time awake and food is starting to sound more appealing. I haven’t gained any weight yet – which, the doctor is not worried about as he has assured us the pounds will start packing on soon enough! – and my belly is starting to pop out a little bit. Or maybe it just looks that way since I no longer feel the need to suck in my tummy!
Oh – and I have no shame at all in admitting – I have already gone maternity clothes shopping. My first trip was several weeks ago, in fact. And I’ll tell you what, maternity pants have got to be some of the greatest things ever made. They are just so fabulously comfortable!
So, there you have it. The two of us will become the three of us in just 5 1/2 short months! And oh man are we excited! … and scared … and happy … and unprepared … and proud … and worried …
If anything, I’m hoping the next 5 1/2 months will allow us to get all of our emotions in check!
