Yesterday was hubby's 25th birthday! This year brings a lot of excitement with his career, and our family! The big anticipated event is the birth of our first baby and we both get more and more excited as the forty week countdown continues.
At fifteen weeks pregnant, our baby is "the size of an apple." That's crazy to me! Little one is getting so big! Not too long ago it's size was compared to a blueberry.
Into my second trimester, the fatigue has greatly subsided although naps are still appreciated. Yesterday after cleaning out the car, Kyle asked if I would vaccuum it. I headed toward the closet to retrieve the vaccuum cleaner but made a turn to the stairs and up to our room and took a quick cat nap. My body said I was tired and I listened. :)
I'm learning to listen to my body whether it's saying that I need water, sleep, or a second Popsicle. I'm hoping that being attuned to the little voice will benefit me in labor!
For those curious about my baby bump: it's here! I've folded and put away all pre-pregnancy jeans and started to break in my maternity pants. I will say, I pick stretchy yoga pants over the maternity jeans. I can't wait for the weather to warm up enough to wear stretchy jersey skirts and dresses. (Thank you Lord for our July baby!!)
Baby Daddy Milestones:
He came home from work one night this week and tipped his head down to my belly and said, "hi baby!" That night when we were going to sleep, he rested his hand on my belly and after saying "I love you" to me, he said, "I love you too, baby!" All together: "Aww!!"
He's been shopping for a family vehicle online. Our little Ford Focus barely suits our large Labradoodle, and after we add a car seat, things are going to be too cramped! After researching several options, him and I have narrowed it down to the Ford Escape. It gets reasonable gas mileage, has a great trunk space for Mac, comfortable seating for baby and two other passengers, and overall offers comforting specs for the price! We're excited...and nervous. Going from car to SUV is an adjustment in overall maintenance. But we'll appreciate the space especially when we get orders to move back to the east coast. (Boo coast-to-coast road trips with a giant husband, giant dog, and all the suitcases in a car!)
Hoping not to let so much time go by before my next post like I did for this post!
