So I had every intention of writing another post before now, but you know what they say about the best laid plans. We have been busy as ever. We have all the typical end of the year things that Chris was mentioning in the last post, and I spent the last few weeks finishing up yet another semester of grad work. I survived two classes and completed my final portfolio project. I have one class left this summer and will graduate on August 7! Hooray!!!!
To celebrate, we took a trip to Orlando last weekend. We spent some quality time with the “mouse” and enjoyed walking around the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. We have decided to do the baby’s room in an Eric Carle theme (Very Hungry Caterpillar, Very Lonely Firefly, Brown Bear illustrations, etc.). So, I took lots of pictures of real hungry caterpillars and butterflies at the festival. I also discovered that Disney theme parks are a pregnant girl’s paradise…one food stand after another, and another, and another!! We also took stock of the situation and went “stroller shopping” while we waited in lines. We decided which strollers looked the best, had appropriate storage, were a reasonable size, had a good turning radius, etc. It was actually kind of fun to see all the different options in action!
The other half of the weekend we spent really shopping. Although you can’t quite tell from pictures, I have gained a few pounds and discovered that my weight and shape are shifting all over! So, I am in need of some new clothes. Chris typically enjoys shopping, which is a good thing because he definitely won the “Patient Husband of the Year” award on this trip. I made him sit outside all sorts of dressing rooms and give his opinion. In the end, I bought a few new (longer) shirts, a pair or shorts, capris, and jeans, and a few dresses. The goal was to find a dress that would work for prom, graduation, and a wedding at the beginning of June. I bought a really cute wrap dress, and we are going to cross our fingers that it makes it through all 3 events.
Overall, I am feeling better than I was when I wrote the last post. The constant nausea and “morning sickness” has diminished, only to be replaced by a few bouts of throwing up with no warning! I am not quite sure what is worse. While I appreciate that I feel pretty good throughout the day, I do not appreciate having to stop and or drop everything and run for nearest bathroom or trash can! I definitely have more energy, although the end of the year craziness and the summer like temps are wearing on me a bit. (I was in bed and asleep at 8:15 last night!). Although I don't look too different yet, I am readyfor the time when I will actually look pregnant and not like I have just eaten too many donuts! I haven’t been able to feel the baby moving yet, but had a cool experience tonight when, for the first time, I could feel where the baby was in my uterus! I made Chris come feel too and his response was, “Wow! It gets more and more real everyday!” He has no idea…=)
In honor of our nugget---yes I should have covered up the s, because there is only 1!
