Week 5
I have signed up for several weekly newsletters and
installed two pregnancy apps on my phone. Half-Priced Books was my next stop. I
got Chris The Expectant Father and
bought a couple of books for myself. I gave this book to Chris for Valentine’s
Day along with a Smelly Bear children’s book. The What to Expect books stress me out a little bit and I don’t like to
ponder all of the things that could go wrong. Actually, it was quite fun to buy
the books. The lady at the checkout told me that she bought the same book for
her husband when they were pregnant. It felt good that somebody else knew we
were pregnant, but that our secret was safe. This was the best Valentine’s Day
ever. I also ordered Salerno’s pecan crusted chicken when Chris was out of town
this week. This is normal for me and I wouldn’t consider this a pregnancy
craving. I had to ask about their homemade
dressings, because you are not supposed to eat Caesar or dressings made with
raw eggs. I asked this question when I called the order in and it felt so
strange to say that I was pregnant and would opt for the vinaigrette instead. It
was even fun to pick up the order and know that they knew I was pregnant. We
can’t wait to tell the world, because we want to make sure that the baby and I
are healthy before we tell everyone. I don’t know how people can possibly wait
until the first trimester is over to share the news. I can’t believe we have
made it this far without telling anyone (I guess I cheated a little with these
two examples). I also had a baby shower this weekend for our friends Brent and
Kristin. It was so great to see her joy and she had the most beautiful nursery
for her little girl. I know that time will fly and before you know it, we will
be having your shower. Our friends Christy and Tres also announced that they
are having another baby in August. We were both avoiding the sandwich meat and
soft cheeses, but I don’t think either of us really noticed. ;) I did not spill the beans. Pregnancy is
amazing already and I can’t believe that major organs are developing at the
speed they are. There are times that I still can’t believe that we are
pregnant. We are getting more and more excited and scared every day. We love
you so much already and I wonder if you are a boy or a girl. Will you have your
daddy’s curls or my huge feet? Your daddy and I do not have a lot of creativity
to pass down, but who knows, you could be very artistic and an abstract
thinker. No matter what, we will love you always. Thank you Lord, for our
incredible blessing…
Cravings- I have wanted Italian food and carbs.
Symptoms- Still very tired, but no sickness yet. I have felt
a little off and not like myself. I am having really vivid dreams and I am
having a hard time sleeping. I want to make sure I am laying just right for
this sweet baby. Bathroom trips are more frequent, but I am drinking a lot of
water.
