The weeks seem to be just rolling by now. Sunday was Easter and my whole family came down to hunt eggs in our yard...I even hunted eggs (and me running trying to snatch eggs was not pretty!) Mom came in to "look at Kevin's newest deer mount in the family room" but as soon as she got in the house she said "Where's the baby's room?" I took her to the pumpkin's future nursery and showed her all of the goodies I had already bought. I almost have the room fully furnished, early I know, but I am just so excited and want it to be perfect! Mom seems excited and that's a big deal for me, she is never really excited about much and I really didn't know how she would take the news of yet another grandbaby being on the way. I think for once in my life my mother and I might be slightly bonding and it's a really weird experience. I am hoping that maybe this baby will bring the family closer together since I feel we really lost the glue that held our family together when dad passed away. Easter was a good day and it really got me excited about the holidays to come. Especially Halloween (my all time favorite) and who knows we may have our little one by then!
I am on spring break this week and I started it off right by going shopping in Evansville with my very close friend Mary. I went to practically every baby store in town and ended up spending an enormous amount of money but I got some really cute baby clothes and found the perfect diaper bag. It was a good shopping trip! I made a new friend, Erica, who has been in the same boat as I. She has had trouble getting her family started as well and now we are due within a week of each other. It was great to have someone to talk to that understands what the wait has been like! I am hoping this is the start fo a friendship that will last for a very long time! Going out with Mary and Erica did my mind a lot of good. It made this pregnancy official, i went out and spent a fortune on this baby and it just made me feel like this is definitely happening to me!
I am posting my 11 week picture, I look like a huge plum in my Easter dress but I love this baby bump all the same. Everyone tells me I am huge, I just wonder what I will look like this fall!!!!!

ReplyDeleteYour baby bump is adorable! I am so excited for you and Kevin! My husband and I are due Oct 2nd, and with Halloween also being my favorite holiday I am so excited to dress the baby for it. Hope that you are feeling better and better each day!
Brody was excited to hear but he says it will be weird if it is born on his bday (Oct. 21st). And you do look big for 11 weeks. Maybe it's twins and the second one was just hiding. Either way this is great. And the whole pregnancy experiences was what I thought to be the best one in my whole life. I loved being pregnant. Then when he started kicking I always latex close to Darrell so he could get kicked to and not feel left out.....lol. Anyway, loves you guys and congratulations again!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, the baby is really growing. :)
