I can hardly believe that I am now 15 weeks into my 40 week journey. Oh how time has flown by, yet September cannot get here quick enough. This weekend I found myself day dreaming about the nursery and what color it would be or what theme it would be... The sheer anticipation of the baby's arrival is just killing me. I even felt tempted to cuise the internet for some baby clothes. Luckily I havent bought any yet although my sister bought us some this weekend.
During the past few days I have felt more and more "flutters." Often these flutters can be mistaken for gas but I could tell that what I was feeling was NOT gas but the baby instead. I can't wait until these flutters turn into kicks and jabs so that I can share the experience with Todd & Stella.
We had a bit of a pregnancy scare this past week. Sunday night/early Monday morning I felt 4 contractions. I went to the doctor and had an ultrasound. The good news is that the ultrasound revealed the sex of the baby! Stay tuned to find out if its a girl or boy! The bad news is that I have to do less and rely on more people. If you know anything about me, you know that this will be a huge feat for me as I am typically a "doer" and a constant busy body. I guess I will have to learn to like doing nothing and planting my bottom on the couch more!
So with 15 weeks down there is only 25 more to go.....
I'm glad you are going to be taking it easy. That will be hard for you but I know you'll make it a priority -- this baby has an amazing mama! I'm guessing you're having a girl, but I can't wait to find out for certain!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be happier for you and it makes me smile whenever I see you've updated your blog -- I do think your news has made my year!
