Dear New Baby: Part Six

July 20, 2016

Dear New Baby,

So I did it. I broke down and put on the maternity pants. I forgot how comfortable these things were. I was resisting because 12 weeks just seems like way to early to be wearing maternity clothes (in my defense, it's JUST the pants, and they are pretty loose ;) but I just couldn't handle being uncomfortable anymore. Some of my pants still fit and others do with the "hair-tie" method, but on Sunday, the day after a long wedding, I just didn't want to deal with that mess. On with the maternity stuff and I haven't worn anything else out of the house yet ;)

On the bright side, I'm getting less tired. It never completely goes away, but it's definitely an improvement. And though I'm still nauseous, I'm not puking very often and just occasionally gaggy. Not eating doesn't make it worse, although eating does usually make it better. That's an improvement, right?! Anyway, the second trimester is so close and the feeling better should be too. I can't wait, for real.

Oh, and your Aunt Kristin is pregnant now too! So early yet, but she is and I'm so excited. Both my friends who were pregnant when I was pregnant with your big sister are pregnant while I'm pregnant with you. We are MUCH closer together this time AND I'm in the lead, though I still think it will be a race with Aunt Angie when it comes down to delivery. It's so exciting.

Anyway, I was in front of the mirror today, feeling pregnant, so I snapped my first belly photo. I'm sucking it in here, so that must be you! I'm bigger when I don't suck my gut in, but this is the part that you can lay claim too. Very very exciting. I can't wait to hear your heartbeat again in less than two weeks!!! STAY HEALTHY IN THERE, little one :)

Love, Mommy
