Sorry it's been a
while since I've written. We've been very busy with the end of
summer and beginning of fall. Most notably, we've been busy sharing
our big news with everyone! Last Wednesday I made Jacob a “Big
Brother” shirt (I couldn't find one to buy!) and he wore it to
daycare on Thursday to share the news with his friends and teachers
there. Since it was the first week of school for most people, I took
a “first day of school” type picture of him to post online and
share the news with our friends. Everyone was really excited, of
course, and I'm happy to have the news mostly out there. I'm sure
there will be people that don't hear the news or miss it online and
only figure it out as my belly gets bigger!
Speaking of which,
it's getting bigger! It still looks like I've just put on a few
pounds, but my clothes are getting tighter and my wardrobe is
narrowing! As the weather gets cooler it should be easier to dress
myself, as I have some good in between clothes. But when the
weather's warm like today and tomorrow, I don't have many bottoms
that work well! I have plenty of pants—fat pants, jeans, and
later, a bunch of maternity pants—but all of my summer options are
either too small or giant maternity size. My summer maternity stuff
will be great in Florida in a couple months, though!
I haven't really
felt any definite kicks, but at times it seems like you might be in
there trying to make your presence known. I'm a little more
uncomfortable already than I remember being before, and I'm pretty
sure my belly's about a month ahead of what it was last time. I
don't mind getting bigger earlier, as long as I don't get hugely
bigger than I did overall last time. I'm just not a big person to
carry it all around! But I'd like to get into the legit baby belly
quicker, if I can. That's way more fun than looking chubby!
I'm feeling better,
but still having moments where I don't feel well or feel a little
nauseous. I'm tired, but some of my energy seems to be coming back.
I hate that I still have a lot of moments where I don't feel good,
but overall it's getting better.
I went to the
doctor a couple days ago and heard your heartbeat. I even got to
record it! It was so good hearing your heart beat strongly, and now
that we're past the first trimester, it's really starting to sink in
that this is going well and all indications are that you'll be
joining us in less than six months! It's hard to believe!
Well, now that the
news is out I don't need to keep this “secret” diary on the side,
so this will be my last letter for now. Hopefully I can get on a
regular schedule of writing you letters live on my blog, maybe once a
month or so. If nothing else, maybe I'll wait a few more weeks until
we find out if you're a boy or a girl, and then I'll at least know
who I'm writing to! But farewell for now, and I'm sure I'll be
talking to you soon!
Love,
Mommy
