Tomorrow I officially am in my 2nd trimester, I am 12 weeks! This is monumentally exciting. We spend last night and today at Walt Disney World with Melisa, Danny, and our nephew Elan. He is about 10 months. Today, we went to the Magic Kingdom. It was awesome to go to Magic Kingdom with a baby, and our own baby on the way. I think it is starting to hit me…that I am actually pregnant and having a baby of my own. My sister & brother-in-law had lots of great advice on a variety of stuff. It was very useful.
I am feeling ok. Still don’t have much of an appetite, and am looking forward to some wisdom from my cardiologist. The heat of summer has not been easy for me, but I am working on drinking lots of water and staying indoors. Mom would be proud of me.
Brandon and I are trying so hard to be contentious and not get greedy with all of the stuff that we potentially need. So much of it is useless, or will be used for such a short amount of time, we would rather not have ourselves or someone else waste their money. But, others keep encouraging us to want more expensive things. For example, we found an IKEA crib that is safe and white. David was unimpressed, and now Grandma (who is buying it for us), thinks we should get something more “Jazzy.” I don’t fault them, the crib we picked out is not “Jazzy,” but now I am researching cribs again. I found one I love, but now we have to work on the mattress, and the changing table, and a million other things I am not thinking of. I am curious on when I get to the “fine, whatever” phase, in which I just register for all of the stuff that I want instead of need and expect it to magically get to my door. I really don’t want to get to that point. Brandon & I would rather so much to save some money for my kid’s college than get the fanciest toys.
The color of the stroller is also still throwing me into a tizzy. I guess it is easier to focus on this stupid stuff than be worried or nervous about the big stuff.
I am actually calm about most things. We know that we have a million decisions, so we are just working on them slowly but shurly. Breastfeeding Q&A is on hold until Lauren & Steve’s honeymoon is over, because the neonatal nurse is going to help me with that, but I don’t need to bother them with questions two weeks before their wedding.
We think the nursery is going to be painted with a Disney theme. I know, it sounds obvious for us, but this was not our first thought, or even second or third. We were originally going to go with a candy theme, to keep it bright colors and unisex. I have been kinda sour on Disney for a year or so, but I think it will all come back when we have Kermit. We will have the VIPs (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto, Goofy), and we think the top half of the room is going to be painted cartoony clouds exactly like in Andy’s Room (from Toy Story).
This blogging thing is fun! It actually helps me organize my thoughts, and keep all of my emotions in check.
