We made it to the half way point! Now that the sickness is going away, this pregnancy thing is getting more exciting each day! Not that it wasn't before and of course worth every minute... it was just so darn hard to enjoy it when I felt rotten all of the time. Feeling the kicking, a growing baby bump, and knowing we are having a boy sure all make it exciting!
Here's a recap of last week:
Symptoms: I'm hoping I don't jinx it by saying this out loud!!... but last week was full of more good days than bad. I think the constant feeling sick all of the time is behind us. There are still a couple of times throughout the day when I have a few minutes of feeing blah, but usually eating something kicks that in the behind real quick. Fingers crossed!
The worst thing this week has been the back ache. We took Zoe for a walk on Sunday night and about 30 minutes after I got home my lower back was killing me. By the time I was getting ready for bed I could barely walk. I read in my book, and sure enough, it said that long periods of walking can onset a bachache. I am so bummed because the weather has been so nice and I enjoy getting out and getting some excercise in the evening. We haven't been on a walk since, but I will probably try it again... maybe just a little shorter one this time.
Movement: I know I have said this before but this baby boy is moving/kicking ALL.THE.TIME.! And I love it!! It is hands down the coolest thing ever. I know it's still early to feel anything from the outside (most of the time) but I do feel sorry for Brad. He is so anxious to feel a kick! Here is what has happened with him... one night last week I hurried him over because I swore he'd be able to feel something. At first he thought he did, but then when I spoke out loud, he wasn't sure if it was the baby or me moving/talking. A couple of nights later, I felt him kick from the outside.... so of course I called Brad back over. This is what happend that time and every time since... which has been at least 10 times. Whenever Brad is around, the baby stops moving. I'm not even kidding! Brad will literally put his hand on my stomach, and I will feel nothing. But sure enough, the second Brad moves away, he's right back kicking again. It is the weirdest thing and is a good indication of how stubborn this little guy already is!
Shopping: We went furniture shopping this past weekend. We went to Buy Buy Baby, Babies R Us, USA Baby and Nebraska Furniture Mart. We liked a lot of things, didn't like a few, but still trying to make a decision.
We had dinner with Brian & Jen, Drew & Jack on Saturday night at Old Chicago. They came with gifts! Our little guy is going to have some of the best aunts, uncles, and cousins ever! The boys each picked out a cute little outfit for their new cousin and Jen picked out a few more from her and Brian. The little man is going to be stylin' for sure!! Thanks, guys!! :)
Well, here's hoping everyone is having a great week and enjoying this fabulous weather! Happy Spring!! :)
