i was rereading my journal from when i was pregnant with calvin, and it was amazing how much i have forgotten. i am so glad that i wrote things down, but kind of wish i had written more.. so i am going to do more detailed pregnancy updates here.
right now i am 7 weeks. i have my first appointment with the midwives a week from tomorrow. i have just recently been getting waves of nausea all day long. when i was in school / doing clinicals with calvin i thought i was sick 'all day' because i was so busy finishing school and getting no sleep.. but even when i am home in my sweats the morning sickness comes and goes for most of the day. i have yet to actually throw up.. today i loaded up on the peppermint tea, gingerale, saltines, and nutella - getting ready for the rough days ahead.
my current weight is 116 lbs. i found a few maternity tees at ross yesterday, that will be so comfy and versatile. (i love being pregnant during the fall/winter... bring on the comfy clothes) i also went to forever 21 today in search of some good deals.. i felt a little silly walking up to the counter, pushing a baby in a stroller asking where the maternity clothes are.. (o that's right, they don't have them anymore.. lame).
i think this pregnancy will come as a surprise to most because cal is still a baby.. and there have been times while we were trying that i thought we were crazy for wanting to add more diapers to change, another baby to carry around, and bathe, and feed, and keep from playing in the toilets etc.. there were times that i felt guilty about shortening c's time as an only child, and i know i won't be able to give him the same amount of attention.
c has been a bit of a difficult baby in the way that he needs attention. he is very social. he loves to play with people - be cuddled, be read to, chased, wrestled, peek-a-bood. he often follows me around the kitchen clinging to my legs and saying maaaaamaaaaa maaaaaamaaaaa until i pick him up. i remember holding him on the boat at lake powell thinking about this, and feeling so guilty.
i know nine months is a long time in c's life.. he is going to learn and grow so much before baby dos gets here... i know he loves being around people, especially other kids - so baby dos will probably help more than hinder.. and until then, i will do my best to make these next few months as enjoyable, and memorable for my little family of 3.
