I know, I am the only person in the world who would even give anybody a hint that they were pregnant until after the first trimester. But let's be real, y'all, I am not a secrets person. I keep a secret about as well as a four year old. Or maybe worse.
My thinking is that I don't have any reason to be worried, I only have reason to be excited and enjoy it. And if God has other plans, then y'all will hear about that too, but for today? Every time I worry, I just think about one of my favorite old verses - "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."
But I thought I would start doing little weekly updates, more for my own purposes than anything, and I think it'll be fun to watch the progression from where we are now (which doesn't really feel any different) to where I'm sure we will be in another 36-ish weeks (walrus).
These surveys are a la Elefantitas Alegres, because I so loved hers when she was doing them!
Thoughts on the Weekly Photo: You might think I already look pregnant. That's because I pretty much ate a whole watermelon in less than 24 hours. Oops. Also, wow, definitely remembered to take these at 10:30 when mama was ready to go to bed!
Marination time: 4 weeks
Weight Gain: Probably the last time I get to say this - I think I've actually lost a pound! Don't know how in the world that happened, but it did somehow.
Clothes: Nothing fits differently except my bras. And I am definitely going to need some new ones of those. Whoowee.
Fruit of the Week: thebump.com has this fruit chart that lets you know what sort of fruit or vegetable your baby compares to on a particular week. Yeah, it's strange. But kind of interesting. This week, it's an appleseed. TEENY! See, I told you that's a watermelon gut and not a baby.
Name: We're still working that out, at least on the middle name front. I'm sure that'll deserve its own whole post!
Moving: Um, it's the size of an appleseed, so no.
Sleep: I had a little trouble sleeping the first two nights we found out because my mind was just racing. But otherwise, I'm sleeping great!
Cravings: Fruit! Watermelon! But let's be honest, when do I not crave watermelon? PB just feels like he is obligated to cut it up for me now since I am his baby mama, so I actually buy them from the store!
Annoyances: Hopefully I'll never have to fill in this section with "I throw up all the time," or "I have big purple spots all over me," or anything like that. I don't really have any annoyances this week. I'm thirsty all the time, which is weird for me - but I guess that's not too much of an annoyance?
Highlights of the week: Getting to tell everybody!
