So nothing dramatic has happened since the last post, but I figured I would check in.
Tony and I are really curious about what we are going to have. Some of the ladies at Tony's work told him about an at home gender prediction test. It tests the gender of the baby as early as 6 weeks. We talked about it and decided to go to Walgreens and check it out. Those dang tests are $30! Are you kidding me? We're way too cheap for that. So we decided to hold off. We can use that $30 for our copay at our next visit to the OB, or get stuff for the baby, or just keep it in the account to use for something else...like food. We're hoping we will have a good idea of what the baby is based on the heart beat next time we go to the doctor.
So I've only gained 2 pounds so far and I am already showing. I can't fit into ANY of my pre-preggo jeans, so today I had to wear the maternity jeans I bought on Thursday. I can't believe it! I'm only 8 weeks along. I shouldn't be this big yet. Tony and I think it's because I was already small to begin with and my torso isn't that big, so the baby has to go somewhere, which has caused my belly to grow out. I'm in the "I feel fat" stage. You can't really tell I'm pregnant; you can only see this big belly. I don't like it...not one bit! I knew your body changes but I didn't realize it would change this fast. Is that normal?
We bought a new couch today! We sold the couch and love seat we had on craigs list today and the new couch won't get delivered until Thursday-ish so we are without living room furniture for almost a week. Oh well. It's worth it. We bought a sectional so Tony can put his feet up. He's always wanted a sectional. We got a heck of a deal on it and it's really comfortable so we are really excited.
So that's what's been going on this week. Nothin too exciting, but such is life. It's nice to settle down and take that next step with the best man in the entire world :)
The overwhelming, temper-pushing, sleep-depriving, yet amazing life of a stay (and by stay, I mean WORK) at home mom of two girls only 9 months apart...join me in my wonderfully crazy world!
Good idea to save the 30$ because that sounds fishy anyway. I am anxious to hear what you're having though so if you cave and buy the test, let me know. =) There are lots of old fashioned ways of telling but they're weird.
ReplyDeletePS. You should buy a couple pair of pants that are just a size or two bigger and they'll probably be more comfortable than your maternity jeans. I LOVE my maternity jeans but they are SO loose I cannot imagine how maternity pants would fit you without falling off. If I can get away without wearing maternity pants right now, you definitely can! I'm starting to get out a few shirts because they're longer but as far as jeans/shorts- I don't believe you that you're out growing them. You're tiny and there is no way maternity jeans are going to fit you yet.
ReplyDeleteOnly $30? Wow, I can't even tell you how much Joe and I paid for a similar test in 2006. I had to take my own blood sample. Yikes! But the results were correct! The tests are accurate, but waiting a few more weeks isn't bad either.
