It is Sunday and last night was the best night of sleep I've gotten in the last 4 or 5 days! Thank goodness! Sleeping has become difficult and I really have no idea why. I feel pretty good, I go to bed at 9 or 10 but I am waking up around 2 or 3 AM when Tom comes to bed and then I just can't fall back asleep. Not fun! A few nights I have ended up on the couch (not comfortable) or in the recliner (doable, but I thought I'd be sleeping in the recliner much later in pregnancy! Oh well!) Hopefully this will improve soon! I am also losing feeling in my legs when I lay or recline on my back which my doctor said was normal....
I am into maternity clothes....it was that or buy my favorite jeans in a larger size...not flattering at all. The maternity jeans stay up pretty well but some days it seems as though I've lost weight and I am tugging on them....I have a couple things I use to keep them up; a belly band (very handy) or a sweatshirt that is tighter along the bottom. I also have moved on to a couple of shirts because my regular shirts aren't all long enough to cover the panel on the pants....I am having a hard time finding clothes in my size in stores so I ordered some online last night, hopefully they will work!
Last Tuesday we heard the baby's heartbeat for the 1st time! That was really exciting! I have no idea why but I think we are having a girl. Everyone else thinks its a boy. Either way I will be thrilled!!!
In 5 weeks (November 17) we get an Ultrasound and the doctor thinks we will get to find out what the baby is (and if my instincts are correct?!)! We can't wait!
Mom, Rachel and I went to the Bentonville, AR area Friday night and stayed over until Saturday. We had a great time and I bought a couple of Christmas gifts and a cute little cow for the baby's room. Next weekend is Rachel's fall party!!! Yeah! I love sitting around the fire and eating smores.....speaking of eating.....I haven't gained any weight (in fact I've lost 5lbs) and my doctor said that this is great for me. I think my food aversions and my stinky garage have helped with this! LOL!
Tom is already a great Daddy....he gets me snacks and drinks when I ask ("Tom, it's for the baby!") and when he can he helps to keep from having to go in the stinky garage....it makes me gag! I got him a cute bib (for the baby of course) that says, "My Dad is Cooler Than Your Dad." I think he liked it.
In a few weeks, I should start feeling the baby, I can't wait for this and I can't wait until Tom can feel it kick and move around! We are really looking forward to this adventure!
