We have a little more news to share, too — we’re having a boy. We’re working on names as we speak.. he's going to love i put this on my blog for all my friends and family to see, just wait :P All i can say is our little boy was not shy for the Tech AT ALL. he was all "look at me spread eagle and every angle we tried" but i am so excited i can wait to hold our little boy!!!
We originally weren't going to tell anyone because my dad didn't want to know. But.. we slipped ALOT and so it just got to the point where it was annoying to have to remember to say "it or the baby" instead of "he". so on my trip down to black friday with my parents i told my dad you know what we are having a boy, there i said it and now you know! haha
It’s so easy to get caught up in all of the physical changes and feelings of pregnancy these days. Feeling tired, feeling nauseated, expanding everywhere … but then I’m brought back to reality and am humbled with the incredible miracle of motherhood. It is indeed a miracle. It’s so wild to think that our baby — who started as two cells — is now the size of a squash. I’m not sure why the baby books all use fruits and vegetables to explain the size of your child, but a squash he is!
What a miracle to see the ultrasounds … absolutely incredible. I want to stay there for hours watching our sweet baby on the screen. It is so fascinating and reassuring to see the baby moving and all his precious growing body parts. It’s just wild.
One of the best parts of motherhood is that it teaches you selflessness. It’s not about me anymore, but about the baby.
I’ve been exercising, but maybe not as regularly as I should. I’ve always worked out but it’s a whole new experience these days! The baby is just chillin’ right on top of my bladder, using it as a water bed. And I don’t know about other mommies-to-be, but it’s tough to find a sports bra with enough support to keep my chest comfortable — a new problem for me! I’m busting out!!
So i used to have a really great memory, i was working at superstore and had every code memorized and even some of the bulk items. I used to bug Blake that he was so forgetful, like the one time we were going to West Ed and i printed out coupons so we didn't have to spend and arm and a leg to go swimming and we got to red deer and i asked him where the coupons were and he said at home.. on the printer. i was quite upset saying things like "i can't believe you forgot! your memory is just the worst!"
well now its time to eat my words. This pregnancy brain is going to be the death of me, one of my pet peeves is happening to me and i can't seem to make it stop! I have now started asking Blake to remind me to do things.. he sends me a calendar invite so my phone will beep so i don't forget things. The 1 time i didn't tell him to remind me about a dr's appointment i decided to take the bus to work only to realize i had to leave early to go to a dr's appointment on the other side of the city, unreachable by public transit and i couldn't remember what time it was at either. lets just say 10 more weeks give or take and i will hopefully be back to my regular non forgetful self! :)
This baby could be here within the next 71 days, i can't believe how fast time is flying by!!! I am so excited to be a mother! :)
my favorite thing so far is how excited blake gets when he can see and feel him moving all over and when he kisses me and my tummy goodbye in the morning :)
