10 weeks and counting...10 weeks TOO LONG!
I've hit the "I'm antsy stage and want to see this baby...NOW" - Beau is also antsy and we bothjust want him to be here...of course not prematurely so we really don't want me going into labor right now, but still, we're being impatient and are just so anxious!! To make things worse
the main thing I crave right now is to NEST and I can't really do much until we move into our new house...To help my nesting cravings, I have been folding and re-folding baby clothes and organizing them by months into these bins we picked up. The other day I put all the clothes we've been passed down or given onto the floor and folded them all over again. Yes, I know, I'm crazy. I just can't get this baby off my mind, I'm either thinking about him or googling some idea I have for the nursery or if I'm asleep then I'm usually dreaming about him. Can you say Obsessed!!!!
Anyways, my belly is getting bigger but for some reason the past four weeks I haven't gained any weight. Maybe I gained enough weight at the beginning to last me awhile. haha. I am starting to not be able to eat as much at once because my stomach is getting more squished but I still manage to get in my mint chocolate chip ice cream! I'd say that's my main craving, along with berries and yogurt and cereal. My back is still feeling pretty good and I'm still managing to exercise every morning by walking Mayzie for 30 minutes and then doing weights a few times a week. Pilates is getting more difficult but I'm still going to my classes. I think it'll help with labor and also not getting too uncomfortable if I keep my back strong. I wish it helped with not having to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes! I swear I stand up and even if I just went I have to pee again. GRRR!!
We've been going to baby classes and learning about the stages of labor and relaxation techniques. I swear these classes do more to scare me than teach me anything! Kidding...but really, the way I picture this whole experience is very scary...and I guess I need to keep in perspective this is NATURAL and I CAN do this. YIKES!
The cake Emily had made for us was adorable- and VERY TASTY!! and although we forgot to pass out the party favors, I will cherish mine forever - thank you Em!! Our friends are so generous and this little guy is one lucky baby - we received so many gifts and are all set to decorate the house we'll be moving into in about a month.
Currently all the goodies are stashed in the crib and overflowing onto the dining room floor! My mother also passed down my favorite baby books, a blanket my Grandma Stewart knit, and so many other goodies for her grandson. This little guy is going to have the best grandparents and extended family anyone could ask for!!
Liz also gave us some of his baby clothes and framed some pictures of when he wore them as a child. The gifts were priceless and memorable and make me teary eyed every time I look over them.
