fears and joys about parenthood
Tomorrow will be week 13 and the first day of my second trimester. I think my first trimester was pretty easy compared to most. I got sick only four times and had five bad headaches. That seems like a great 12 weeks. Now lets hope the next two trimesters are as smooth.
Im at leifs weekly basketball "game". I say "game" because its mostly giggling and groping. I swear they spend more time bent over in laughter than they do playing basketball. Either way im out here walking next to the court so I can get exercise and it just starts pouring. Apparently they are use to this because it happens every week but im now watching from the car so I stay dry. Its like they dont even feel the rain. I know leif loves playing basketball every week. I think its helping keep him young and happy. So whatever works right
Week 11. Im trying not to laugh. Leif is the worst picture taker. The last two weeks he has taken pictures of my head, the dog, my boobs and then says its my fault the pictures are bad. So today im just letting him do his thing because the first two times I got upset with all the confusion. And what do I get, three pictures. One is the picture he told me to hide my turkey neck in and I look at him and laugh and the other two he couldn't hold still for. So you get the laughing one. Maybe by week 40 he will get the hang of it.
So buckeye knows something is up.I think he can tell im pregnant. He is so loving right now. He sleeps right next to me or on my head. He lays on me all day and he gives me sweet kisses the whole time. He can tell when I dont feel well. I had a headache all morning and do you know where buckeye was. Laying with his head on my hip. He is the best dog in the world and I hope that he loves our baby as much as he loves us. He is going to be the best big brother and I can't wait for his to meet his sibling.
I've got buckeye at the bottom of the shot, he wanted to be involved. He is such a funny dog. We got some baby stuff from leifs brother and his wife and buckeye made me open every box so he could smell everything. He knows something is up. He is going to be a great big brother. That being said we are going to order a fake baby that moves and cries so he can get used to it.
I have been trying to be the happiest pregnant woman ever. Haha. Im going to settle for a pleasant pregnant woman. Being nice seems so hard so im just going to stay quiet and choose my words carefully. I dont want mood swings and nausea to make me cranky. I put leif in charge of making sure im nice. I've been doing good so far. Im at ten weeks today and I haven't made anyone cry yet. Thats looking on the bright side.
We are pregnant. It happened so fast. We started trying in july and we got pregnant in July. We couldn't be more excited. We are already nine weeks along. It's going to fly by. Baby ready now instead of maybe.
