Third week of knowing...prego diary entry #3

The pregnant diary week 6:


Last night I woke up in a sweat. Cramps originating in my uterus radiating down my legs had me in the fetal position for what seemed like all night. I then realized I had to pee… really, really bad. To my amazement, the middle of the night bathroom break was what the doctor ordered. Now I could go back to bed, sleep peacefully and not dream about being in labor. Mind you, this is only my 6th week of being prego, and I have to say that I was laying in bed awake for a good additional hour last night, worried that I had run too much in the heat the that day and all the what if’s you go through…my good friend told me today that I need to not think about all the what if’s…she told me to focus on the positive... on that bean inside me growing and getting bigger and healthier…I decided that she’s right, so that’s exactly what I am going to try to do.

Grow baby grow.

one sweet lunch...

A couple of weeks ago I had a great lunch. It started at 11am and in my opinion, it the greatest summer lunch ever. I kinda like the Indiana Strawberry Fest! My mom did too, because she ate TWO! 

One week of knowing...

So, it's been one week exactly since Alex and I found out that we are expecting a little one in February 2010. I am writing this at the one week mark, but not posting until later...until all those close to us know our good news. And speaking of good news, it hasn't even sunk in yet...this whole..."you're pregnant" thing going on...nope, not at all...never-the-less, we're still thrilled with the idea. I notice that I'm suddenly running through possible names in my head, and trying to picture our lives in 9mos...and then I think, wait, don't get ahead of yourself here, we're not out of the woods at all, and don't get your hopes up! I am caught somewhere in between being totally excited, thinking positive to toning down my thoughts and trying to take it one day at a time because you never know what will happen tomorrow. Takin' it one day at a time. At least there is always Alex for some comic relief when you are deep in thought...apparently he's having some trouble right now with the preparation of garlic tofu pasta that he's cooking me for dinner...time to go assist!

New addition to the family...

We finally found a bike for Alex! It's great...manly, yet sophisticated, just like my Cakes. We took a 14mi ride on Sunday, got caught in rain (basically hail) in our sundress and white t-shirt...Fun and liberating in some small way. I am still keeping my eye out for that perfect vintage, Euro-like bike to come into my life, but until then, I'm satisfied with my old rusty beach cruiser...even if we do live in Indiana.
