So it's really official...We have made the phone calls and posted on Facebook (which really makes it official these days). Tor and Drea are having a baby! It is the start of week 14 and I have made it through the somewhat uncomfortable and often lonely first trimester. Tor and I had a great doctor's visit this Thursday, where we saw the baby literally bouncing all around and turning flips in my belly. Tor is determined that the baby was practicing basketball skills (see edited sonogram photo below)
I was just beginning to really celebrate the lack of morning sickness and extreme exhaustion, when I came down with both a cold and a UTI. So now I am on the couch taking antibiotics and Sudafed, and constantly having to pee :)
The one real side effect that is getting the best of me at times would be all the hormones. One minute I want to be hugged and cuddled, the next I want everyone to leave me alone. I've cried over everything from forgotten hamburgers to unreturned phone calls...Good grief! I am trying my best not to be a monster, but my Dr. Jekyll/Ms. Hyde personalities seem out of my control at times.
Ha! It hasn't been all bad...there is the maternity pants story:
Drea to store clerk: "I don't feel like these pants are fitting right"
Store clerk: "Hmm....yeah, we're going to need to grab you some more of the pants with a lot of stretch in them. You have what we call 'Bubble Butt'"
(Drea has a very curious look on her face)
Store clerk: "Oh, don't worry, its not a bad thing"
I am determined that this was a compliment...who wouldn't want to have Bubble Butt?!?
The infamous maternity jeans...only in 2011 can a mom-to-be rock comfortable skinny jeans :)
