Right now I am changing. My body is changing in so many ways. One, I think my ribcage is expanding! My bras(even my bigger one) is hurting my ribcage. Even going without, hurts! I think my ribcage is getting bigger. My ankles/feet are starting to hurt and swell by the end of the day. My belly is getting huge! I can't believe my bump! I look in the mirror and smile. I can't believe in 3 months I will have a baby boy!
Thankfully, my nightmares(knock on wood) have dissipated. I am sleeping pretty well besides my back/hip pain and having to get up 3 times to pee! I am not nauseous anymore. For the most part, I am feeling good. Sure I have aches and pains and get tired easily and may break down and cry, BUT I am feeling pretty good and praising God for this little miracle! I'll take all these little things for my miracle. I better believe I remind him everyday of the love I have for him! :)
I am so excited and a little nervous about being a mommy! I'm so excited to finally being a mom! I feel like I've always been suppose to be a mom. But the idea of being a mom is also scary! I am going to be responsible for a fragile little boy! Eeekkk! God gave me a big job! There is so much information out there about what you should and shouldn't do. Both sides to one type of feeding/diapering/birthing can have pros and cons. How do you decide which one is right? I have a lot of advice being thrown at me and a lot of this is best, how do you decide what is right for you without feeling guilty. I feel like overwhelmed by the different ways of parenting and raising kids. Do you cloth diaper or do disposables? Do you have a natural birth or use drugs? Do you breastfeed or not? AHHHHHH!!!! So many decisions and so much information on each way. I realize that only Travis and I can make these decisions, but it makes my head hurt!
