Here I am - 15 weeks preggo in my "dry-fit for the 40 degree walk to a taxi, long sleeve for the inevitably blasting AC inside the store, stretchy enough to accommodate my growing bump" grocery shopping outfit. I'm not sure these clothing items will be appropriate for that much longer....but for today, they seem to be working out just SWELL :)
So - I've been looking non-stop at some of the baby blogs I follow.....scanning for weekly "baby bump" shots in particular. And here's the thing: some people have absolutely NO SIGNS of BABY until much later on...until like weeks 20 and up! What gives?! I mean, I do agree that mine is becoming more adorable by the day, but STILL - I've had to purchase maternity clothes ALREADY for crying out loud! Am I growing a SUPER-BABY? A human baby? Is there really only ONE in there? I've been having crazy dreams about the doctor saying, "WHOOPS! My error - you're having TWINS!" But that could all be due to some anxiety about our 3:15 p.m. doctor's appointment today........
Ah, BEATS ME! I keep reading that every pregnancy is different. Even between first, second or third pregnancies in the SAME WOMAN - they are different. So......as long as my diet isn't all donuts and Big Mac's.....and my daily routine doesn't involve sitting on the couch 24/7......I think everything will be A-OKAY - back pain and ALL!
In the meantime, I'm working hard at finding "meat alternatives" for me and Baby P (for those of you who don't know, meat is OFF the menu for now). Tonight we're having soft tacos for dinner. Phil's will be of the traditional beef-filled variety. As for me, I'm going to load up on the vitamin A and protein with some mashed sweet potato and kidney bean burritos (a former ELK LODGE favourite)!
One hour to go until doctor time! I feel like I'm a contestant being weighed in on The Biggest Loser.....HAHA. And...you never know........MAYBE....just MAYBE.....we'll be able to find out if Baby P is a BOY or a GIRL!!!!
Always the optimist,
LINDS!
XOXO
