Planning our "Babymoon"
I can't believe we are only a few short weeks from being halfway there!! I am 15 weeks now, our next appointment is April 23, next Wednesday. We will get to hear the baby's heatbeat then!! We saw it on the ultrasound monitor last time but did not get to hear it.
I am due 10 days after our 4th wedding anniversary so we will not be able to take our annual anniversary trip to Gatlinburg this year. We always rent an awesome cabin and take Sophie (our four legged child- a spunky and way too cute Boston Terrier) and stay for a few days of relaxation. I keep hearing that we need to cherish this time of it being "just us" so we are planning to go at the end of May and are looking for cabins and have a few prospects. I will be 21-22 weeks then. No hiking or hot tubs this year I guess! Actually, you can adjust the temperature in the hot tub so I'm going to ask my OB about that next week........I bet it would be sooo relaxing!!! It is so weird to think these next few months are really our LAST EVER in our lives for it to be JUST US!!! I am sooo glad we have had 10 years of it being JUST US though!! We've had some GREAT times, the best, most fulfilling times in my life in fact and to embark on this next step is going to be wonderful!
I think I'm feeling the baby move more and more...It feels like bumping from the inside and sometimes it feels like the baby is curled up in a ball or something-it's a very strange feeling!! But I love to feel it!! LOL! I have felt pretty decent overall, still a bit tired and this morning I felt so light headed that I could not finish drying my hair-I had to lie down for a minute!! I was light headed on and off all day.....not sure what that was about.....but it has subsided. I am eating right and have still been working out....and staying hydrated.........so I'm doing all I can to make sure I'm healthy. I am off work tomorrow (Praise the Lord) and hope to get some rest and stuff done around the house....Until next time! |
. The girls at work went in together and bought me 3 shirts from Ann Taylor Loft on Friday!! They are soo nice!! They are still a bit too big but soon enough I'll grow into them.....I bought 2 pairs of maternity pants Friday too!! One pair of jeans and one black pais of dress pants for work! My friend in Charlotte is sending me her Bella Band in the mail too!! She just had her baby in March and only used it a couple times! It should be here tomorrow! I have been feeling fine.....a little more hungry here and there....I'm still loving my weekend naps!! I think this pretty much does it for my update... 
) and then it blouses out. One of our residents actually noticed I was pregnant today and I'm sure the shirt had everything to do with it! I am still having round ligament pains so I am rubbing my tummy a good bit too so that was another "clue". I have been getting nauseated again too-UGH!! Only in the evenings though....It was pretty bad last night......I also had a BAD dream about the baby and I should not have even told anyone about it-I don't want to speak it into existence!! Let's just say it dealt with my having given birth with no recollection of it, I ws sooo confused in my dream about how I had the baby and did not remember the birth process and then I was not allowed to see the baby, who in the dream I named Claire, becuase she was having some health issues. I rebuke it in the name of Jesus!! Other than the nausea and the dream, I am great!! Looking forward to the second trimester....only 3 more days to go!!
