Reflections (Updated each month)

Month 7

I've started thinking about the nursery: every day, but haven't started working on it :(


I used to love food! Now I avoid: nothing. I love to eat. Can't stop it if I try.


I never thought pregnancy would make me: so tired. I'm so much more tired than I was with the first two, no kidding.


I can't wait to: have this kid and be un-pregnant.

Month 6

Buying maternity clothes was: an ongoing chore. I don't seem to "fit" into much of anything I wore with the last two.

The biggest change in my body has been: the quick growth of my stomach. It has definitely popped out faster this time.

My favorite change in my body has been: The changes in my taste. There are quite a few things that I love to eat now that I couldn't stand before.

What I never thought would change was: Ted's attitude towards the pregnancy. He's been acting the exact same way he did with the first two, but just recently, he's become so much more attentive and empathetic that usual. I'm not sure why, but I'm not complaining either :) I really love that man.



Month 5

The first time I felt you kick: I was sitting at home watching television.


It felt like: Very light flicking. Nothing much to it really.

I felt: Happy, but a little in disbelief as it was so early.

The strangest food craving I've had is: Texas Pete. I hate the stuff, and now I want it regularly!



Month 4

What I least expected with this pregnancy was: To get so big so fast. I knew it would happen, but it snuck up on me.

The best bit of advice I've received is: To realize that alot of people have more than two kids, and I'll be as good at it with this one, as I have been with the other two.

What has changed the most in my life with this pregnancy is: Not smoking....and then eating everything in sight!

What made me realize that I was really pregnant was: When I couldn't find anything to wear that fit!

My hopes: That it's a girl

My fears: That it's a boy


Month 3

What I'm enjoying the most about my pregnancy so far is: Nothing stands out. T

he strangest advice I've received is: This is the third time for us, no one gives advice anymore.

Names that I've been thinking of: I can't tell you :)

Girl or boy? I think you will be a: Girl

The old wives tales predict: Too early to tell.

At my prenatal visit this month I found out that: I will be going on 12/22


Month 2

The hardest thing for me to give up is: Smoking

This month I told: Everyone - on Thanksgiving day. Well, I didn't tell them, Steven did.

They reacted by: A little shock, but nothing dramatic.

This month at my prenatal visit I learned that: Everything is normal.

New pregnancy symptoms I had this month: Boy, I'm getting fat. And I can't stop eating.

My hopes: That it's a girl.

My fears: Everything else.


Month 1

I started thinking I might be pregnant when: I was about 4 days late. I'm NEVER late unless I'm pregnant.

I found out I was pregnant when I: Took 2 home tests, and then went to the doctor for a blood test.

I felt: Scared

The first person I told was: Ted

They reacted by: Shock and Awe

The first ultrasound was: at 6.5 weeks

At my first prenatal visit I learned that: I was due on July 10th, 2006

My baby will be born: Sometime in July

My hopes: That it's a girl

My fears: Everything
