Hello! It is week 12 of my pregnancy. I'm not sure if I said this last week, but I feel like time is flying! Again there's not much new to report this week. I'm still battling the nausea with the occasional vomitting, unfortunately. I'm praying that stops soon. My belly is definitely feeling a little harder than usual. If I ever try to suck in my stomach it hurts, so I know the pooch I have is legitimate. I'm an counting down the days until we can find out the gender! I'm hoping for May 18. That will be 4 weeks after our appointment for this month and I'll be in my 18th week. It's still crazy to say "We find out NEXT MONTH..." I feel like it was just yesterday that I found out! I don't really have any feelings or predictions on what I think the little peanut is. I did have a dream a couple nights ago that it was a boy and it had my husband's eyes, nose, lips and ears. So, mother's intuition or just a random dream? A lot of family and friends say it's a girl. So I'm super anxious to see exactly what it is! We actually received our first baby item this week. We still haven't bought anything for the baby yet. Our friends who just had a little boy in February gave us a box of newborn diapers that their baby has grown out of. I was so excited just to have something baby related in our house. I can't stop picking up the diapers and imagining our little baby in them! I think we might wait until we find out the gender before we buy anything. I can't wait for that day! I'll definitely have to document it.
This week has also been a week of worry. I just keep imagining our new life, come October. I'm just scared that I won't know what to do and my natural motherly instinct won't kick in. I'm sure it will but being a first time mom, I'm just so scared that I won't be the mother I've always wanted to be. I just keep praying that everything will be fine and that my husband and I will get through it gracefully.
That's all for this week. Until 13 weeks!
