Dear Baby

Dear Baby,

Today our relationship has grown to a new level. I have heard about this symptom but was hoping it wasn't going to occur to me in the near future. I was wrong.

Today I sneezed and I peed my pants a little bit. Oh yes. I peed myself.

Thanks for the reminder that you are in charge.

Love,
Mommy

And the baby is a....

GIRL!!

According to the ultrasound we got last Saturday on from Ultrasound Services in Costa Mesa they confirmed that baby is a girl!

I was so sure it was a boy. I had a boy name picked out, new what I wanted to do with his nursery, already looked into the boy products out there.... only to find out its a girl.

Troy and I have picked out a name but we are taking Marisa's lead and not telling anyone what it is. At the time, I thought Marisa was crazy. Now, I think it was such a good idea. I have heard everyone's opinions on what we should name our daughter. Demands to have her middle name Sue and ideas to incorporate Sue without it being her middle name (Suzanna Melissa). So now we are telling everyone he have a named picked out and they will find out after she is born.

Dear Baby:

Dear Baby,

I thought the barfing phase of our time together was finally over (after the horrible display I put on during our flight to Kansas City) now that I am 14 weeks tomorrow. But alas, today during lunch I got the urge and to the bathroom I ran. Oh boy. I must mention though that each time I have become sick no one else has been in the bathroom to listen to me hacking away.

Love,
Your Mommy

13 Weeks

Size of baby: medium shrimp

Size of baby daddy style: size of an espresso cup


Total Weight Gain: ? I try not to weigh myself. At my last pre-natal appointment I was given the "you lost weight, what is going on?" speech. The nausea killed me the first 10 weeks.

Continuing symptoms: mild cramps off and on, feeling yucky after taking pre-natal vitamin, sleepy and frequent headaches.

New symptoms this week: belly feeling heavier. Went shopping with Amy last night at K-Mart and my belly knocked over a row of toys... premonition of things to come I guess.

Sleep: Can't get enough. I got to bed early and usually wake up around 1:00-2:00 am to go to the bathroom. Waking up is hard since I am so comfy and could always use another couple of hours.

What I'm Eating: Cuties (oranges), apples, drinking a ton of Propel flavored water.
Cravings: None.

Grandma gift this week: green with white polka dot blanket with zoo animals and 2 white crib sheets.

Special pregnancy moments: Writing in the journal to my baby for the first time. It was a couple of pages long. Once I got started it just flowed right through my pen.
