Baby Love

I'm already obsessed with this little boy that I've never met

Pregnancy is going so well; I'm loving it.  I think we are both completely surprised with how fast it's flying by... less than 4 months to go!  It blows my mind how a human can grow from a microscopic cell to a full functioning baby in such a short amount of time.  I don't know if my mind will change once I get farther into pregnancy and more uncomfortable or not, but as of right now I think I will miss being pregnant when I'm not any more.  I feel so blessed that we are getting to go through this and I get to feel this baby moving... all. the. time.

To remember:

Headaches: I still get them every once in a while.  Not as often as I used to and not as intense, but they still come.  

Heartburn:  Before I got pregnant I asked my mom what heartburn was.  Well, it's pretty self explanatory.  I got it a couple times very subtly at the beginning, but have had it pretty bad some days.  A few times I have been up all night from it.  Once I was up googling at 2 in the morning how to calm it down.  I ended up sleeping sitting upright which helps.  That thing does not mess around.

Round Ligament Pain:  I've had this a little bit throughout my pregnancy.  Especially when I sneeze or move quickly.  There has been a couple days where I couldn't walk for a couple hours because it hurt, but then it goes away.

Same with the sciatic nerve pain.  That comes on fast, but doesn't last long.

I've been surprised at how tight everything is in your stomach and how quickly it got difficult to bend over.  I didn't expect the bending over to get difficult for a while longer.  

I think I've had a pretty easy pregnancy so far though.  I've heard some stories that sound so hard.  I can't complain a bit.  I'll take the heartburn and headaches and all that comes with it.  I like that I get to experience it and know what it all is like and wouldn't trade it for anything.  

This baby moves a ton.  One day I called Coby in to look at my stomach because I had this huge lump on the right side and my left side had flattened out a bit.  It looked so weird.  I'd kind of nudge him back towards the middle and Coby would tell me to leave him alone.

I just wanted to update on some of the pregnancy symptoms I've had to remember them.  All in all everything is going really well and we couldn't be happier.  

*and to all those who have been asking... no we don't have a name yet.  haha poor kid.
