…Baby! See the
not-so-flat belly?? Ok ok- I’m pretty sure it’s not really all from baby (since
I’m about 12 weeks) but I can dream right??! Right. It's just more-than-neat knowing there's one in there.
The ‘plan’ was
to drop 15-20 this summer. Push myself real hard & get into great shape
again. Clearly, that has changed as of early June. Fatigue and dizziness got in the way. And falling asleep mid-day, everyday,
without wanting to. On the upside, this little kumquat will just have a more
comfy kushy dwelling…!
Now the goal has become to
only gain weight in the belly vicinity. Eat right, be active, walk A LOT
--build up strength for a (hopefully) easy next 6 months.
We weren’t exactly planning on this right now, so
I’ll take this as an intervention from above that it’s indeed time for a new chapter.
It was definitely hoped for, and now here it is!
To tell Cory the news, I threw together some edibles with
specific words on the labels for
Father’s Day.. Not all were the usual kinds of treats he’d expect.
Baby carrots, Junior Mints, Mini M&Ms, Milky Way, Milk
Duds, Sugar Babies, Baby Dills, Mini Reeses, Baby Ruths…
It took him much longer to figure
out what it all meant than I’d
anticipated. But he was happy about the news once the connection was made. ;)
Super excited. Feeling very blessed. Ecstatic to be that much closer to becoming a mother- and better yet with the man I love. Not as tired anymore.
Still never actually tossed my cookies thank heavens! I do, however, long for bean burritos or BLT sandwiches
almost daily. Pretty sure I’m more
than at peace with those fine choices.
Looking forward to end of Aug. to find out what we’re having.
Until then, just getting ready for a new school year at
SVJH. Back to busier, more productive days surrounded by crazy teens. Wondering what THIS year’s
new but overused word in their
vocabulary will be?? (words of
past years: sick, epic fail, yolo, swagg)
:) :) :)
Baby's first picture is tomorrow! Today I got to hear the heartbeat. Sounded like a tiny choo choo train. Pretty cool stuff.
