Maternity Clothes: You know what. This section is a little unnecessary. Obviously this big ole' belly is in only maternity clothes and will be for quite some time. If anything we're getting to the point of which maternity clothes will I be fitting into in the next few weeks...can anyone say tent?
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty normal except for the middle of the night bathroom visits. Ryan has gotten used to the extra pillows in the bed and I've adjusted to switching sides every couple of hours. Getting ready for the end result I gues...
Baby Size: Big. At least that's what it feels like. He's getting to the point where I can feel each part as it moves and at times it feels like I can even feel his pinky toe move.
Movement: Like I said earlier, he's moving. Its strange that I can feel his movements more now than I could earlier in this pregnancy and usually that's the opposite from what I've read. I will say, I will not ever complain about feeling him move because it took so long for me to actually feel ANYTHING move. His favorite game is to jam his foot up under my rib cage, and then we have to have a little talk about being nice and not abusing Mommy.
Looking Forward To: You know I spent the first almost five months convincing myself I was actually pregnant and that there was an actual baby in there. Once the belly popped up, that was pretty indisputable. Now I've spent the last few months convincing myself I can be a good mommy to Cullum. In some ways I have never felt my age, so therefore don't feel old enought to be a mommy to someone, and in others I think, what in the world am I doing? I'm going good to get out of the door on time with my lunch, keys, and purse, much less care for a small beings every need. I mean I'm responsible for raising this child.
Disclaimer: In taking these lovely weekly photos I have realized something. I apparently wear the same shirts all the time. I have now decided to at least switch it up before I let Ryan take pictures of me for the blog. Good grief!
This experience is a wonderful thing. Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been married to the man of my dreams for 3 years now and we still don’t have a baby. We’ve been visiting my OB, having consultations and taking advice. My partner and I are still young and we are not losing hope. :) Good luck on your parenthood!
