One day randomly in the hall-
Co-worker: Are you gaining weight?
Me: Ummmm, yeah. That usually happens when you're pregnant.
Co-worker: OH, you're pregnant?! Congratulations. At least your hair and your skin looks good!
Me: Thanks???
In a staff meeting-
Co-worker: So you're having a little one huh? How far along are you?
Me: 26 weeks?
Co-worker: OHH! You're going to have a big baby!!!
(I wasn't sure what to even respond back with)
- On a positive "belly touching" note- Some of the girls I coach will come up to me as soon as I get to the field, bend down and start talking to my belly. I love this! It definitely makes my day, especially on the days that I'm not loving being pregnant.
* I (finally) figured out today that milk and I don't agree while being pregnant. I've never been a huge milk fan, but I do love me a good bowl of cereal. There goes that quick and easy breakfast. Dang...
* Feeling our baby move is THE coolest experience/feeling I have ever had.
* This retaining water thing sucks. Some days are worse than others...On the bad days, I seriously I feel like a giant marshmallow.
* Being pregnant doesn't suck (although it does have its moments). I haven't LOOOOVVVEEEDD being pregnant, but I don't hate it either. Nick asked me (on a not so good pregnant day) if I would ever want to be pregnant again. He didn't get the "hell no" answer he thought he was going to get from me, but he didn't get an ecstatic "YES" either. Even on the crappiest pregnant day I've had, I still seriously considered doing it again later on down the road.
* I have THE best husband....EVER. He really deserves his own post (which he still might get). Since day 1 he has taken such good care of me. When we found out I was pregnant, he has gone even more out of his way than before to make sure I'm taken care of.
- He offers foot/back rubs nightly.
- He does everything he can to make sure I am comfortable - especially trying to sleep at night.
- Whenever I mention something sounding good to eat he asks me if I want him to go get it for me. (I haven't taken him up on this yet, I'm saving the late night craving run for a serious craving).
- He puts up with my crazy moods, random crying, my occasional freak outs about becoming a mom, and he always accepts my apologies for my inability to control my pregnancy hormones and emotions once I gain composure of myself.
- He has always told me how lucky he thinks he is, and how beautiful he thinks I am. Being pregnant he has expressed it even more. Especially on those not so good days, he makes sure that I am reminded of how wonderful he thinks I am, even if I don't feel so great myself. (I sure have him fooled, don't I? :)
- He is constantly thanking me for sacrificing my body for our little girl.
- He likes to put his head on my belly while we're laying in bed to talk to and have play time with our little one. Cutest.....thing......EVER!!!!! I swear she already knows his voice, because as soon as he starts talking, she goes crazy!
- He talks to me about his worries, stresses and listens to me when I have mine. We make such a good team in SO many different ways. I am so lucky to have him in my life- not just as my husband, but as my BEST friend, sole mate, partner in crime, and "baby daddy" :) I love you Domenic <3
