I'm starting this new, exciting, amazing, scary, wonderful journey. I'm going to be a mother! My husband and I are expecting in March. I haven't had the energy do to anything for the last 3 months or so but now that I'm feeling more energized I thought my poor blog needed some love. I am 17 weeks today. I tell you the crazy things you hear about pregnancy are all true! I used to think that "Pregnancy Brain" was an exaggeration. It is definitely not! People told me I would forget things and lose things but I had no clue how much. One day I forgot my phone number. I barely remember things my husband tells me a few day earlier. I have forgot where I put my keys just about every morning and have to go on a hunt for them. The simplest tasks I have forgotten how to do. I feel like I am loosing my mind. Hehe! The mood swings are crazy. One minute I'm fine the next I'm mad and then crying. This morning I cried because my husband had to go help his friend do some roofing but I didn't want him to leave. Lol! I have to laugh because it sounds so ridiculous. I tear up every time I see a pregnant woman or someone holding a baby (which I see a lot, seeing I work with kids). One minute I feel happy and love my baby bump. The next I feel fat, like I'll never be skinny again. I sound like a mad woman. I'm happy to be out of the nauseous stage. I felt sick everyday all day. It was horrible. I had a week or two of feeling pretty good and then the acid reflux and indigestion started. YAY! I can't handle anything. Even water gives me indigestion.
My 20 week ultra sound is scheduled for October 18th and I'm very excited. Now all I have to do is convince my hubby to find out the sex with me. If he stands his ground I have to somehow keep it from him the rest of my pregnancy. Yikes! Hehe! He has given me free rein to pick whatever I want for the baby though. I'm very excited to find the perfect baby stuff and to hopefully enjoy every minute of my pregnancy (even the crazies).
