Pregnancy Hormones

I've been so blessed to have such an easy pregnancy and I'm so grateful, however, I've been a little emotional lately (I'm sure I have those lovely pregnancy hormones to thank)! Chris and I go back for our 20 week appointment on Wednesday and it could not get here fast enough.

I started to feel our little one moving around about two weeks ago and I must admit, it made things much more real. Chris felt a little left out because he couldn't participate but over the past few days, he too has been able to feel those adorable kicks that bring us such joy!

At church on Sunday I was able to see a girlfriend who is about 5 weeks ahead of us in her pregnancy and she has the most adorable little bump. I also have an old coworker who is about 3 weeks ahead of us and she too has the cutest little bump. It made me a little sad because, with clothes on, you still can't tell I'm expecting. At the half way mark, I think I'm ready to look and feel a little more pregnant. I never thought I would say that and during these crazy emotional rants of mine, people look at me like I'm crazy. Who knew I would ever want a more rounder tummy but I've been craving that lately.

I'm hoping our appointment on Wednesday will put me at ease. I think my doubts are coming about because my doctor moved up my due date (almost 4 weeks) at our last appointment. I have a fear that she may move the date back and that's why I'm not showing. It was so nice to just skip an entire month and it will be hard to cope with if I go back. We'll see.

Mom and I went to OKC this past Saturday to pick up my crib. Once we got it home and set it up in what will be the babies room, excitement consumed me. I get an instant smile on my face everytime I walk past the nursery and see that beautiful crib that our baby will soon dream in. Mom and I have been working away trying to narrow down the fabrics and paint colors. We've been planning for a boy so I'm hoping Wednesday doesn't bring any more surprises!

I will post pictures of our sonogram and hopefully conquer these silly emotions soon!
