Hi! Ok just a quick update on how I'm feeling and all that jazz. Feeling pretty good. Bbs are still very tender and heavy and big and still hurt a lot when I sleep but I'm over it. Just went shopping for maternity clothes and nearly broke the bank but its not like I have a fairy godmother who will be buying them for me so alas, it was a necessary evil. Thank God for payment plans on credit cards. Speaking of which, the financial part of having a baby is a little bit stressful. Besides the fact that we will be losing my income after the baby is born, there are so many things to do and buy for the baby before he even gets here. A crib, a bassinet, a rocker, a dresser or changing table. I think of our house and how super tiny it is on top of it and I wonder how we will ever have people over for a birthday party or how our little family will grow. But that's not stuff to worry about for now. For now, we have to figure out how to get our nursery started. My parents have done so much for us already (too much!!) much more than we deserve and much more than the average parent I am sure. But we are so eternally grateful for their help.
The have really done everything to make sure we had a great start in life as a young married couple. Which is more than I can say for other parents. My parents bought us all of our furniture (brand new beautiful furniture) for our living and dining room, our kitchen, bedroom, etc. Everything. The gave us an amazing perfect wedding and reception and paid for everything including my bridal shower and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. My mom did everything with my shower.. EVERYTHING... no help from the other side, no help from bridesmaids, not financially or otherwise. And that's just fine. My parents are amazing. They gave us a very generous down payment for our house (my husbands parents gave us a bit to help out too, less than my parents did and his parents are wealthy whereas mine are hard working middle class and really gave us a big amount to help us out.) And nobody knows!
So you can imagine what I'm thinking about a baby shower already. It's called the other parents better pitch in and help! My parents are drained down to nothing! They have no money left and they shouldnt be put in the position where they are expected to foot yet another bill for something that is a JOINT celebration! Now I can just see how this is going to go down. We have a lot of people to invite for a baby shower and if someone other than my mom plans it- its going to be a disaster. I can tell you rightnow... someone is going to go CHEAP and its going to make me insane... I dont want expensive. I want reasonable and comfortable and lovely. Not some cheap house party. I can just see this playing out at someone's cheapo house where 90 women can not possibly gather for some gross pot-luck food that someone else hodge-podged together.
I just want a nice lovely little party. Something simple and elegant. Not the neighborhood jam session in a backyard or in someone's parlour. So we'll see how this plays out... The thing that ticks me off hte most is that my husband's parents havent even called my parents to congratulate them! Can you imagine?! They havent even picked up the phone to say congratuatlions to the parents of the woman who is birthing their grandchild. What is wrong with people? Is this normal? Is that normal to just be like.. yeay for me (for themselves) and not even acknowledge the people who brought me to this planet as the joint party and cause for celebration? How primitive. Ugh. Mad.
In other news... I feel good. No nausea though I did have some slightly on Saturday and a bit more right now.. but nothing too crazy. I did have some pulling pains in my vagina the other day but they came and went pretty quickly and it was over in a few minutes...
I need to stretch! and walk and exercise and I need to eat better. Because I've been feeling a little sicky Ive been eating whatever I am craving at the moment which is not necessarily nutritious. So I need to pay attention and eat better... eat more fruit and veggies.
I am really looking forward to having this baby!!! :)
