My Giant

Little D is growing like a weed, as they say. He is only 21 weeks (or 5 months if you prefer) and he is already wearing 6-12 month sleepers. And they are snug on him. I'm not really concerned. I was a big baby like Little D and now I'm average size. And with stores like Value Village around I can get great deals on baby clothes. And of course donate what I am willing to let go of (which is not much - I'm thinking of our future sibling for D...;) ).

I've been calling him Babyzilla.

Week 13

Almost half way through week 13 and we think we've told everyone we can about the pregnancy. My parents and brother have seen the ultrasound picture, and are getting geared up. I'm glad I have it, because I still do not look pregnant (which I keep being told I should be grateful for). So the picture is proof. I almost want to pin it to my t-shirt.

I thought the nausea was going away, but it hasn't. It lingers at night time forcing me to sleep so I don't have to deal with it. I guess I'm lucky that I can sleep through it. I'm really hating the 3am bathroom breaks, because it is still taking me at least an hour to fall back to sleep. Plus, my getting out of bed confuses the cats. They think it's breakfast time. Little piggies.

I found a Kathy Smith Pregnancy workout DVD at Zellers the other day. It was only $4.99. SOLD! I've worked out with it twice so far. I must stick with it, or I fear I will be too lazy during labour :)

I've been forcing myself to avoid the baby clothes section at Value Village for now. Since I don't know the sex of the baby, I don't want to spend a bunch of cash on thing we might not need. Of course this hasn't stopped my mom. The soon-to-be first-time grandma has already bought a few pink items. She is certain it's a girl.

I've also been forcing myself not to empty out the computer room (soon to be nursery). This would certainly drive my husband crazy. Anyway, I spend my mornings at the computer and the basement is still too cold for me. But I can't help but get ahead of myself sometimes.

I am looking forward to each new day and experience. I almost can't wait to feel the little one kicking. And to see if s/he looks more like me or hubby.
