baby bump Wednesday...on Thursday Morning

And so it begins...the baby bump has started growing!                

                                    

Today i am in my first pair of maternity capris...they are rather comfy and i don't mind them at all! Hubby thought they were pretty funny, but reassured me that i looked great and my shirt covered everything....thanks babe! 

So, i'm starting to become more and more excited about everything! i have been excited from the beginning, but really worried too. i guess the world brainwashes you when they say that the first trimester is scary....well i believed them and am glad i got through it! 

Life is flying by so quickly! The past few weeks have been filled with happiness:

• i have a baby inside me
• sissy is moving to TX! (this is bitter-sweet of course, but so happy for their new adventure!)
• Baby cousin got engaged! Yay for wedding planning!
• Baby cousin also got into PT school!

So i had this idea way back when hubby and i were just trying to have a baby and hadn't succeeded yet to write a blog about the things i found out about myself, my body, my mind, when i was trying so hard to put a baby in there! It is funny how mind-consuming it is and it is really all you think about. You begin to get a little crazy and your are a little too in-tune with your body....at least i was. 

So here are the things i learned...about myself that is:

• i get emotional around that "time of the month" - not "hormonal changes"
• your body gets sore after working out at physical therapy - not "sore breasts"
• i just have to go the the bathroom a lot when i drink 72oz. of water a day...not "frequent urination"
• Not all women ovulate right in the middle of their cycle...it is good to know when this is happening in order to make a baby! HA! 
• Support from friends is a must! Just talking to them was ever so helpful!
• Don't have endless amounts of EPT's in the house...i will use them even when i don't want to!
• i'm much more likely to wake up early when taking my temp for baby-making
• eating healthy and exercise is much more appealing when you are trying to be in the best shape of your life for baby to come on board!

So maybe i'll know better next time...there will be one of those down the road. Or maybe i'll just go through all the motions again. i think that is just what making a baby is. That is what we women do and that's what we go through.

so i will do my best to get the "baby bump Wednesday" post up on time next week! but hope you enjoy it even thought is is late! i will be posting two blogs today (this one as a "make-up" and today's actual post). 

Until next time this afternoon.... ta ta for now!
