Yes that's right...we're going to have a baby. We're both super excited. I'm currently 13 weeks and 3 days along. I'm happy to be entering my second trimester because the morning sickness has been brutal! I don't even think morning sickness is the right word- it's more like all day sickness. No amount of ginger ale and saltines would calm my stomach. Oh and FYI I never ever want to look at another saltine cracker again. My doctor took pity on me and prescribed some meds that would help me keep food down. Those pills were a lifesaver. The smells...oh my goodness the smells are intense. Last night I could smell Tom's turkey sandwich from 6 feet away. From the white bread to the mayo my nose broke down all of the scents. Besides the intense all day sickness, intense sense of smell, insomnia, and fatigue I have been feeling really good. I'm looking forward to the second trimester where I'll have more energy and the sickness will go away all together (fingers crossed).
The designer in me has started to concoct a nursery in my head. I'm thinking yellow (my favorite color) with accents of aqua and red (for a boy) or pink (for a girl). The theme is 'Good Day Sunshine'. Every nursery needs a little Beatles homage. I've started to buy test samples of paint and currently have 5 different yellows and 1 aqua on the wall and am completely confused. It's going to be a long color selection process. I want something soothing but not washed out. I also should take into account the low voc paints which limit my color range. So many choices... I'm going to wait until we know the sex to really go hung ho on the whole room.
Tom's very excited. He's always wanted to be a dad. I think he'll make a great father to our little one. I bought him a little Tampa Bay Bucs onesie as a "hey we're pregnant" gift. He loves it.
Besides this life changing news nothing else is really going on. I'm taking a few classes this semester but will have to put my masters on hold until after the baby's born. I hope to return to school but I really have no idea how intense this whole parenting thing is going to be. Honestly I can't remember the last time I held a baby or changed a diaper. Maybe I should look into taking a class. Anyways I have a feeling that I'm going to be a busy mommy with baby and work but I hope that school can fit in there somewhere.
I'm past my bedtime- 12:50 is late for me these days. I think I felt so awful during the 1st trimester that I couldn't sleep. Now that my body is adjusting to the hormones I'm feeling much better and I'm off to bed anywhere from 7pm-10pm. We're hardcore partiers in this house...not! I'm trying to bring back the '...not' joke. Borat inspired me.
