The first month of pregnancy has been very typical from what I've read. Going to the bathroom ALL THE TIME...sore boobies and of course I'm so tired. My darling husband would say that part is par for the course for me and it would be true, but I hit this wall around 3:30 - 4pm and just can't seem to get a second wind. We are going to start walking when I get home from work to see if the fresh air and exercise help out. Let's hope he's right!
This past weekend I enjoyed the holidays at home. Thursday was Thanksgiving and boy did we have a lot to be thankful for. The boys headed to their mom's house to eat and stuffed themselves silly. Jorge and I planned on eating later in the day and had guests to the house to share our meal. Jose and Krystal came over late in the day and ate with us. Chris had his fill of Pumpkin Pie and slept the rest of the day. Friday Chris called anxious to know when we were going to go and get a Christmas tree. We have started the tradition of cutting down our own tree each year and this year Chris cut it down all by himself. We found the perfect Frazier Fir, in North Carolina. That's right. Drove to another state to get the darn thing. It was beautiful and almost seemed a shame to cut it down, but it looks even better in my living room. After that Chris slept the whole way home. No radio, no noise, just us driving home. That evening we put on all the lights and ornaments looking amazed at what we've collected over the years.
Saturday came as I hurried to finish decorating the house. I went a little crazy with the decorations this year since we are having two parties on the next two Saturday's. This week is Jose's party as he leaves for the military and next Saturday is our party for the Sunday School class. So I wanted the house to look extra special this year. Besides, next year may be a little bit more difficult with a 5 month old at home. I love the way everything looked after I was finished. Jorge was a big help by staying out of the way. He was intrigued by the new Garmin he just purchased the night before. Not sure why we needed it, an Atlas has always worked fine before, but what the heck!
As Sunday rolled around I was deeply aware that my long weekend was coming to a close. After church we went home and then shopped for food for Jose's party. Then we hit the couch for a long winter's nap. An hour & a half to be exact. Somehow I never made it off the couch. Jorge and Chris went out to get Chinese food which just hit the spot. My poor husband and kids will find the pregnant lady doesn't have much energy to cook lately. I told Chris he will like me being pregnant because he will get to eat out more. I have no idea how I'll find the energy for this baby! But I know God will provide.
My poor sweet husband is putting up with hormones, snapish comments from me and my daily blackouts at around 9pm. I hope this phase doesn't last long. I miss being snuggly with him and lovey. He certainly deserves more than I can give right now.
There is this insane feeling of being completely and totally blessed. With my family, my husband and this amazing baby he has given us. Our first ultrasound is Friday and I can't wait. Hopefully we'll be able to find out if we are having twins or not. It doesn't matter to me, but I just want the baby to be healthy. Whenever I used to ask women what they wanted, boy or girl, and they said "It doesn't matter, just a healthy baby." I would laugh. I mean c'mon, ya have a preference of boy or girl. But now I know what they mean. Healthy is best, no matter what, but a girl would be nice. ;0)
