We are excited to tell you we are expecting a little baby! Baby Daddy does not want any mention of it on social media at this point, but I think he was okay with me blogging about it. (I think.) I will be at 14 weeks this week, so entering month 4/ second trimester. We have heard the little heartbeat twice now and I go in for a host of lab work in 2 weeks.
I will try to think of all of the baby questions you may ask at this point.....
Our due date is February 3rd!
I am going to try to hold out and not find out the gender. Jim is going to find out. To me, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or girl. I would like gender neutral items that can be reused if we ever have another child. And this poor kid is gonna have his or her whole life to live with gender stereotypes, so if I have a girl and can put off the Princess culture for a few months, I'll be happy.
I have been feeling blah every day but haven't actually thrown up. Lots of headaches and such. I have been told this should start to pass in the next few weeks. I am still jogging and exercising and trying to stay fit. We are trying to buy mostly organic/ hormone free/ antibiotic free right now.
I have a little bit of a belly but it mostly looks like I am getting fat, not pregnant. I have not graduated to maternity clothes yet. Luckily this time of year I am able to wear a lot of skirts and dresses.
I plan on returning to work after 6 weeks of maternity leave. At this point, we are planning on a combo of daycare and a nanny/ babysitter who lives in the DeKalb/ Sycamore area.
We live in a 2 bedroom condo so the guest room will become my crafting room/ nursery.
I think that's all I can think of at this point! Get ready for baby!
