Write a new blog

14-4-2009 - 18w1d

My mood while writing this blog:
tired

I am so pooped! We went to the doctor yesterday and I got weighed, I've only gained five pounds. I am now at 160lb and I am 5'7" tall. No body at the babies r us believed me that I was almost half way through my pregnancy! I guess this is good except when I had the ultrasound the baby was measuring two weeks older than he was. So I went to the babies r us and tried on all the slings and carriers. It is not easy to figure out how they work without a baby so a lady there loaned me her baby and we tried them all on together. He was such a precious little boy, his name was Georgie. I tried on all the boppy pillows too and they seem too flat to support my arm and the baby at the right height since I'm taller than most people. I think I'll just make my own the way I want it.

This past weekend I started taking apart the pink stuff my sister in law gave me and making my own blue stuff for Samuel. I've already stitched the bumper together and sewed it to the batting and I'll be making the bedskirt later this week.

Anyway, I had a dream about the baby and he was so small but normal in every other way. I really felt the baby this morning, not moving but pressing against my abdomen. I guess it's getting more real to us now, Dave remarked in the car that he is getting more excited about being a father. I'm glad, I was worried he would be upset that he didn't have his freedom anymore.

That is awesome that you can sew. I am a beginner. I have really only attempted 1 shirt in home econ in high school. Since then, I have only done pillows for the bedroom.
That is great that your hubby is getting excited. My hubby is over the top excited. He is a teddy bear with a huge heart. Some times, I think that I am the man in the relationship. Because he is the emotional one!
I have not yet decided if I plan to breast feed or not. I know that will save a ton of money instead of having to buy formula. Plus, it is better for the baby. But, I am planning to go back to work, so is also a consideration.
--- So your baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead. wow. It's amazing how they can tell. My next sonogram is on April 24th. I can't wait!
I would also like to have a 3d or 4d sonogram much later on in the pregnancy. Have you thought about 3d or 4d scans?

Which carrier did you end up liking? I took a class about all of them, and fell in love with the Moby Wrap. Someone bought me a Baby Bjorn, so I hope I like that one, too.

I use a sleepywrap instead of a carrier. www. sleepywrap.com it is the best thing I have bought lol! I love it. I didn't really show to strangers until I was over 30 weeks pregnant! Than the weight came haha. My sister bought my a boppy and I couldn't use it either (I'm 5'7 also!). I just use a regular pillow when nursing.
