A lot is going on in the Bosley household since my last post almost a month ago! Wow I have been slacking! We have reached the 15 week mark and everything is great! Well... except the fact that my husband is itching to paint the nursery and I am just not that motivated. For some reason I am not at the level of excitement as my husband. I think because of our personalities. I am such a worrier, as I have mentioned, and well he is more of a.... lets just say free spirit... you know the kind that doesn't worry, goes with the flow, and doesn't sweat the small stuff. So I think I have been worrying about the what ifs. What if I suck at this mom thing, what if we never are able to go out again because we have to afford diapers, what if there is something wrong with our baby, what if, what if, what if. I know people say don't worry things seem to work out, well at least that is what my mom says all the time, but telling me not to worry does not have any affect. The lack of over the moon excitement could also be do to the fact I am still exhausted all the time. Which in return makes me grumpy. At my 12 week check up with the doctor I asked her when I will become that blissful pregnant girl!? You know that one that walks around with the perfectly round stomach, always smiling, and just loving her cankles, ghetto booty, and over flowing breast? When am I going to hit that perky pregnant point!? She informed me that around 20 weeks I should get to this point. Holy shit 20 weeks! At the time that was like 6 weeks away, a month and two weeks! Crap! So the count down begins to the happy blissful pregnant lady. I will keep you updated on when this occurs. Oh, another thing that could be hindering my pregnant bliss is the lack of clothes! Seriously not everyone who gets pregnant is flippin' short! I mean come on the rest of us who are over 5' 7" would love some jeans that aren't preparing us for a flood! The saints at GAP.com have come through for this long legged pregnant lady. I have also found two Gap Maternity stores in the Plaza and Zona Rosa, but there inventory is very small. Another thing is that Josh and I haven't bought anything for Baby Bosley. So I am hoping that once we purchase bedding for the nursery and start painting it will make me realize this baby thing is real. Josh thinks I am in denial. I also think hormones could be playing a part in this. Don't get me wrong I am happy we are having a baby and can't wait to hold the little one in my arms, but right now I just don't walk around on cloud nine every day.
Ok, on to some great baby events:
At my 12 week check up my mom was able to go with me. It was great! She had asked to go to an upcoming appointment so she could hear her grandbaby's heart beat. So I took that Friday off and we made a day of it. My appointment was at 1 pm so we spent the morning at the legends hitting up Old Navy's maternity section and motherhood maternity (BTW I hate this store and refuse to by from it due to there return policy and there lack of quality clothes) From there we had a quick Culvers lunch and headed to the doctors office. So at every visit they have you pee in a cup to test for protein and other things. I suck at this! Seriously I dread it every time! Boys have it so easy they just point and shoot and they are done! Oh to have that ability. So they call me back and as always I hit the scale. The nurse is moving the thing towards 150 and I tell her to keep on going. She of course keeps it on the 15o and begins to move the other slider to the far right side... the very end of the far right side! She then says see you are not quite there. I tell her next appointment lets just skip over the 150 mark and move the slider straight to the 200 mark. Yep, I had gained 6 pounds in 6 weeks and I officially am weighing in at 200 pounds! Not good. In the exam room the doctor answered some questions and asked me how I was feeling. Then is was heart beat time! The doctor had a very hard time finding the heart beat and I was starting to panic. But she of course reassured me this was normal because they are so active and move around like jumping beans. We heard the baby kick and then finally she got it! She found the heart beat and it was racing along at 151 bpm. The excitement on my mom's face was priceless! It truly was a great mother-daughter moment for both of us. She heard her grandbaby's heart beat and I could tell it just melted her heart. It was a very successful doctors visit!
A bedtime conversation:
While lying in bed....
Me: If Baby Bosley is a girl, do you care if we bring her home in the same booties that my mom brought me home in?
Josh: No, as long as she is wearing a Texas onsie.
Me: Ummm... No, she will not be wearing a Texas onsie home. She is wearing a very girly dress with bows, pink, and ruffles. If Baby Bosley is a boy, he can sport the Texas onsie home.
Josh: Nope, Texas onsie. You act like it is going to be YOUR little girl, but it will be MY little girl and she will be wearing a Texas onsie.
Me: Josh my little girl is not wearing anything Texas home. Not happening. Goodnight.
Below is my 12 week belly!
