I cannot believe that we are in the 16th week already and that means we are at 4 months! Time is just flying by well for one of us it is anyway. So 40 weeks in a normal pregnancy and I am at 16....still a long way to go, but almost at the half way point.
Tell me where did the 9 month thing come from. The way dr's compute due dates pregnancy is a 40 week process and that is definitely 10 months not 9 months! What a popular misconception...I was thinking only 9 months...geez.
I think I am destined to have every pregnancy symptom there is to have...even down to the nose bleeds! I have developed a horrible back ache this past week also. The sad part is I am only 4 months into this and have only gained 6lbs at this point! What is it going to be like when I am 7 months into this and 20 lbs heavier??? I mean come on, there is no way I'm going to be one of those lucky woman who gain very little weight and everything just goes smoothly..not a chance in hell..just wont be me! I'm just not having that much luck in the area of "smooth pregnancies". In fact my back hurts so bad , it hurts to breath...what else do I have to look forward to? My sinus issue is still here and I can only breath from one nostril during most of the days and nights are just miserable... oh and lets not forget about the fact that my face keeps breaking out! (Am I not suppose to have Pregnancy Glow right now???) But like everyone keeps saying , in the end we will have this beautiful baby for the rest of our lives! I know, I know, I know, I just wish I felt better now so that I could enjoy a bit of this...!!
Tonight we went to Walmart to pick up a few things and while we were there we walked through the baby section and started looking at the cute little things they have....it was so muhc fun. Even Eddie said as we were cruising up and down the aisle..."we are really going to enjoy this honey.. you know that", he is just so sweet about all of this. I keep saying how miserable I feel and how fat I'm going to get , and just keeps reminding me that I am not getting fat, I'm pregnant!
Today we went to our "DATE PLACE" also, you know the place, HOME DEPOT. Yeah, we had t o get some twine / rope for the pool. We finally covered it today. Boy was that a project, as I was stretching, pulling and crawling all over the pool deck, I was thinking that not only in a month or so I will in no way be able to move like that but also that when we open the pool next year we will have a new little baby to enjoy the pool with us! It is just so neat thinking about next year at this time...our lives will be so different. Sometimes I get so excited thinking about it...and other times, I'm scared to death...
