Wednesday Walkout

Happy Hump Day! I quit riding MARTA so I had to find another time that I am not at my desk or relaxing after work. I figure why not type on my phone while I walk in a huge circle at the office? That is safe, right? Pregnant woman walking while not really looking where she is going... I played Candy Crush last time I walked at work so it can't be that different. We shall see.

Anyway, I will be 18 weeks tomorrow. It is crazy to think that in 2 weeks I will be half way through this pregnancy and be 20 weeks away from holding my baby. I am still too overwhelmed to buy a ton of stuff. There are just too many options! For everything! I am blessed to have 2 brothers who married generous wonderful women who are giving or letting us borrow furniture and clothes and other necessities. I could not imagine having to decide on that stuff too.

I still haven't really felt Baby move. I am getting anxious and trying to keep myself from worrying.

That is about all I have for now.

Almost 17 weeks

Well, I realized that I am no good at turning on the computer at night on a weekly basis. I am, however, good at playing on my phone on my commute to work (on a train not in the car). Blogger app, thankyou for your existence. 

I will be 17 weeks tomorrow. We found out last Friday that the doctor is 80% sure Baby is Sophia. We will confirm in a little over 3 weeks. So for now Baby is still Baby.

My symptoms have reduced greatly, thank goodness! Last week was brutal. Nausea came back full force and I had a constant headache. This week I have only had mild headaches in the morning (I relate them to knowing I have to wake up and go to work-which has gotten very stressful). But a little caffeine and 2 tylenol take care of the problem. I have "popped" and have a full fledged BabyBump (or SophieBump). I am completely embracing this bump and enjoy seeing it take shape week to week.  I am anxiously waiting to feel Baby kick. I have felt little fluttery things here and there that I like to think are Baby saying "Hello" but I want to feel full on, unmistakable movements.

We traded in the Honda Fit for a Honda CR-V over the weekend. When I kept some of our friends' little boy a few weeks back we realized that while we crammed a lot of stuff into that tiny car, someone so small as a baby and their car seat simply do not fit very well. No way the car seat would fit in the middle. It had to go behind the passenger seat with said passenger seat up as far as it would go. So we looked around, forced the dealership to abide by our demands and got what we wanted for $4 more a month than what we were paying on the Fit. I am pleased and love the new car!

That is really all that has gone on in our little world the last week or so.

"Hey, Mike. Do you know what day it is? Hump daaay." Love that commercial!
