this feeling...

I can't quite put into words what I am feeling,
but here goes anyways.

I am still mesmerized(?!?) by the fact that I am pregnant.

I guess in some ways I don't even feel pregnant

weird, I know

but let me attempt to explain

• I can still wear normal clothing
• I can still workout (just not as hard/long as I used to)
• I have my energy back now (yay 2nd trimester- woohoo!)
• I haven't had weird cravings/sent the hubbster off late night to get anything

• I only have a mini-bump which has become noticeable more recently (within the past week or so)
• I don't feel like there is anything other than a huge meal in my belly since I can't feel the baby moving yet/don't hear the heartbeat/can't have an ultrasound to "check in" everyday

odd, I know, considering I am 15 1/2 weeks right about now...

But I guess I have SO much to look forward to!

• getting a true baby bump
• buying new clothes (even though they will be maternity)
• registering for baby things
• getting hand-me-downs from my sister and possibly neighbor (depending on what we are having)
• finding out what we are having October 19th!
• planning out a nursery room
• decorating
• taking tons of preggo pics and framing them/putting them up around the house
• "nesting" (I always have loved deep cleaning and I hear you go even more nuts when it comes closer to baby's arrival!)
• and, naturally, all the joys of motherhood once Baby A arrives into this world ~March 6th, 2012

So, for now, I will enjoy this moment, but look forward to many moments to write to Baby A in my journal...like the first time I feel a kick, what we did/said when we found out what gender Baby A is...etc

you know, the good stuff

So here's to a Happy Thursday, (cuz it's ALMOST Friday)
and I can't wait to have a girls night in this weekend at my house!
