Anyways, my point is that i never get around it BUT here it is!!!
Round as it should be at this stage and personally, i have to say "PERFECT!"
This is the time in pregnancy where i TRULY feel beautiful.
That is until all the evil comments get to me and i dont feel that way anymore.
I am hoping NOT to hear "i am so sorry for you!" by the time i am about 7 months pregnant or "are you due next week?" when i still have over a month left in pregnancy.
I do have say that somehow women are the most cruel at this and it will never make sense to me why we say such horrible things.
I am not perfect. i might have given a rude comment here and there but if you are one of those women who "got it" from me and you are reading my blog...
Please, FORGIVE ME!. i truly DID NOT mean it that way. i am just kind of dumb like that at times.
22 weeks (give or take)
So this Honey Bunch (we still dont know the gender) is doing ok, i think.
He/she moves like crazy but not crazy enough to keep me up at night.
I have noticed i have to be extra careful with this pregnancy. i dont get hungry like with the other 2, but i also dont have much chance to eat with 2 little ones trying to eat everything before it gets to my mouth.
I literally tell Ben to "close the doors because i am eating now."
He carefully listens and follow my orders. He has witnessed the Hunger of Foofoo and Lulu and even he gets annoyed.
i dont know if i had shared this with you but we are going to have this baby at HOME! (at least that is the plan-it is all in God's hands now-).
I am purposely being very secretive about this baby.
I want some privacy this time around.
Very few people know the EDD which is ok i think, but it really doesn't say much of when the baby is really ready to come out.
We also aren't sharing both baby names we have picked as well as the gender if we decide to find out.
Also, we might not want visits from people until the baby is about 3 or 4 days old. We feel this is time for our family to enjoy the new experience at HOME and take for us the most we can.
It may annoy many people but that is ok. They will get over it.
All i keep thinking is "This is my birth and i am hoping to make the best of it. The way i want it to be, and that is all it matters to me right now".
Too much has been taken away from me with my 2 girls so i am being very particular with this one.
And now, i sound like a CRAZY pregnant mom. :D
I know you moms are more willing to understand where i am coming from.
Hope to update soon with some sewing if nothing else exciting happens in the Briggs' Household.
PS. i know i should have cleaned the mirror or the room.
But why should i clean the mirror when my 1 year old will mess it up AGAIN and AGAIN?
........and the room?
well, the room is my "woman cave". I RULE in that room!
plus i am still cutting my t shirts for the rug i am making so it is more of a mess than the usual. :D
I 100% agree with your decision to protect your family and privacy around the baby's birth. Even with our requests that people not visit us at the hospital we were still inundated and I was exhausted. It's a difficult enough adjustment for your kids and your body and getting to know your new little one without the added stress of people streaming in and out like it's a circus show.
ReplyDeleteYou look great! Such a cute belly :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think you're crazy for wanting some time as a family before welcoming guests. I think it's a perfectly respectable decision, and I hope people understand. And I'm so jealous of you getting to have a homebirth! If I wasn't going for a VBAC, I'd want one, too! Good luck!
