Dear Baby Unknown

thefemalebuddhabelly:

Sometimes I think, “God, i’m getting so fat.  I shouldn’t eat this.”

Then i’m like, “Oh wait, i’m pregnant.”

NOM NOM NOM.

These are too cute! 

These are too cute! 

My son was a surprise, not a mistake.

Count Down = panic

Thought it was awesome to start the whole 100 days to go count down. It is actually a bit of a freak out. 
When you count months, its “eh ok.” Then when you count shorter and shorter weeks its a bit, “O.o… wow, really?” …. BUT when you hit “71 DAYS to go!”…. “O.O OMDG!” Its even freaking out the hubby. 
Sure we have been getting things together. Alot will be coming from the baby shower. All at the same time tho, its like we are not close to being ready. We feel not ready because, “the house isn’t ready.” Truth? I think that is just our cover for it personally not being US that are ready. Or at least that is a major part to do with it on my half.  
Day by day down, reality is kinda sinking in a bit more. So for the first time really since I got pregnant, the thoughts of, “Omg, am I gonna do ok? Am “I” really going to be a mommy? How the hell did this go by so fast? Am I going to repeat the mistakes that my parents made? How am I going to do this?”, etc. etc…. is hitting me. Sure its normal and every new mommy thinks it eventually… but … 
SO now that I know doing a count down is actually a bad thing for me/us… its too late to stop. Its like I already have the clicker programmed in my head and I can’t just forget where we are. 
To let reality sink it, it is a really good thing. To try to not stress even more then what I normally do…. I guess we will see how mentally strong I really am.  

Planning progress

I feel like shit.
Whats funny? When you feel ugly and fat and your conclusion is to eat ice cream.
Updates?:
Baby shower is in the planning. We actually have a place and a idea of when. People are being informed and gifts are being talked about.
We are getting a wonderful crib from the in-laws. Friends are talking of what they have to pass down. It all seems to be coming together.
I have the event going around on FB. That is the best way to get info around and see who or if ppl are coming. I think we have like 10 so far… not including family. I am not sure who all is going to be around. It might actually be more people then I expected to begin with. BUT who actually comes out of who says they are coming is another story. It will be around the end of June, so I guess we have a bit of time.
The Bathroom is actually together. Some little things left to finish, but with the way life is going we are slow with it. Other wise we would never rest.
Working on the baby room/ nursery is coming up. We have decently set plans on the colors and what is coming in. Not spoken of, but I have ideas of the layout/ decorating. Guess I am just waiting to have the room fixed and for that part to come before I go nuts and start talking about it.

May 18th

Had another baby doctor apt. Everything is going great still! My results from the glucose test came back great. Today however, she did not tell me the heart rate or the belly measurement. I actually had to ask about my results. With the doctor I go to, if they don’t tell you anything then its all good. So that explains why I have had NO results on ANYTHING. ^.^ No news is good news.
I am going every 2 weeks now. It kinda surprised me. I knew it was coming, but I didn’t think this soon. Apparently time is going by way faster then it seems. I dread having to go once a week, it is going to be a pain.
78 days to go and when you look at it by numbers it gets creepy. I still am not in reality that a baby is going to come out of me. I don’t understand how I am not fully processing that. I have been with pets threw their births several times, so I understand everything and all….but when it comes to ME…. O.o really? I know I am pregnant, the test were done, I feel movement alot, I have all the symptoms and growing belly…. It is actually weird to me that I don’t really have my head around it, that a newborn (7lb something) BABY is going to come out of me. How does that fit in there?! This however is normal. Many new mommies don’t fully come to reality until the baby pops out or they go into labor. I am sure I am one of them. I just hope it doesn’t creep the hell out of me or make me freak out. I feel I am prepared for it all before and after… except THAT moment when he is actually there and not just a muscle spasm in my belly.  

Count down - New requirements

This past week has took everything out of me. The bathroom is ALMOST finished. It has ended up being a bigger project then we thought and with Timmy having time to work on it only after his actual job, it is going slow.
So I haven’t been posting my daily countdown. It has been just about a week since my last post.
New Requirements:
Since apparently life will not let me keep up with it like I wanted >.< I will just be doing post like the one you see before this. Really not having a body to it or the daily update, but posting the day down and maybe the days to go.
In regular post, I will try to keep updated with everything else. That seems to be the way this thing is going anyway.
