Still no flutters from the baby though, which I'm looking SO forward to. Probably not for another 3 or 4 weeks, and then it will take another 3 or 4 weeks after that for the kicks to be strong enough for Jay to feel.I'm feeling good, although I've gotten my first pregnancy cold and got the official bad news from the doctor -- I can take NOTHING to make myself feel better but plain old Tylenol. Ugh. How exactly is that supposed to help decongest me?
I think I got sick from doing too much this weekend. It's hard to remember that even though I feel good, I'm still pregnant and don't have quite the energy I used to. We had an awesome time Saturday night visiting Amanda and Andy and baby Ella, who is just gorgeous and so much fun to play with. But first, on our way there, we went to Babies R Us to look around. My word it's overwhelming there!! So many millions of things to choose from. There were like 40 cribs! We just want a basic ol' crib, we don't need 40 options! But it was fun nonetheless, and was a good reminder that when we register we need to go on a weeknight when it's not swarming with people.
We also went on the almost-futile search for maternity work pants. Until this weekend, I'd been doing the old rubber band through the buttonhole trick, but that was starting to fail miserably and I was needing to use a binder clip to secure them even further. (Don't ask, it was weird and uncomfortable.) We'd been to one Old Navy earlier last week that said they had a maternity section, which turned out to be a lie, so we found another one on our way to Plymouth and stopped there. No luck. Old Navy pants never fit well pre-pregnancy, and they didn't have anything that looked or fit remotely appropriately. I was frustrated and about to give up when we found a pair at Target.
Then Sunday I got up early and had brunch with the girls, went and saw my dear friend Amy and her beautiful daughter Elizabeth (and got a TON of amazing baby stuff to borrow), went to Pam's house for a Tastefully Simple party, came home, had to WORK until about 9, then was so tired I hemmed one leg of my pants inside out. It was a long day. Even if I wasn't pregnant, I would have been a mess. We all know it's a rare occasion when I'm not at least in my PJ's by 9 p.m.
Needless to say, the sore throat hit the next afternoon. But I'll survive. It's all worth it for the little one! The only pregnancy side-effect I've cursed so far is the peeing. I get up every night without fail at 2 a.m. to pee (I know, I know, it's only going to get worse), but now I feel like I'm losing bladder control in general and now I almost (OK, well, sometimes I do) pee my pants every time I sneeze. Don't laugh!! I hear it happens to lots of pregnant women. It's embarrassing, but what can I do.
Next appointment is not until March 26, so that's all the baby update I can offer for now. Hope everyone is well. XOXO.
