The reason for starting a blog was to document my life throughout the pregnancy and after my first child is born. As you can see, I have written about a post a month so I really need to step it up a bit. Since I'm not keeping a diary or journal of my pregnancy this is pretty much it. So I better document some details about this journey.
Right now I am a 26 weeks. I have gained 18 lbs (ugh) and am wearing a combination of maternity clothes and my pre pregnancy clothes that I am stretching to the max. I feel great! I had about 3 weeks of nausea in the first trimester (about 8-11 weeks) but no actual throwing up. My belly has gotten pretty big and my top half has too- just what I didn't need! Nik says I'm starting to waddle a little bit and I have to swing my legs in order to get off the couch. I went to the gym today and would like to get into more of a routine, but it sure is hard to get motivated, especially when it's cold out like this. I am finally feeling him kick, which has been the neatest experience. It started happening around 23 weeks. Now I can feel him kicking every day, many times throughout the day. Like right now. Nik was able to feel it one time, but it's so sporatic that you kind of have to be there at the right time. I am really starting to get excited about this. At first I was scared to death, and all I could think about was how my life would change forever and all the things I would not be able to do anymore (take a spontaneous trip somewhere, go out to dinner and spend a obscene amount of money, for example). I am still thinking about how things will change forever, but now I can't wait to meet him and see what he looks like and watch him grow up. In a little over 3 months he will be here. It seems like just yesterday when I was at my friend's house getting ready to take a maternity test with shaking hands. That was July, and now it is almost the new year. So many exciting things to come in 2010!
