Only 19 more days until we find out what we are having! Of course, the most irritating thing is I find myself one of only a handful of people that actually care. I’m used to small surroundings of family and friends, nothing different from before. But those of us who have had more than one child know that with 2, 3 and beyond, people tend to give a little less hoot.
I’ve never had a baby shower, and this is 3. I don’t expect it, nor do I require it. I hate being the center of attention, but you know, it’s still that one thing in life I will never get to experience, along with a non-c-section birth. Our birthday parties for the kids are pathetic and small. I hope that changes as Chris & Andrew make more friends.
I am allowed to be bummed over some things! I try to make the best out of everything, and I will for this. If it is a girl I will burst out with excitement as if it were my 1st child. If it’s a boy, we’ll still be excited, just well, not as excited.
Not much going on it’s been a quiet week. Tomorrow i’m gonna go try to find some maternity clothes, even though at nearly 17 weeks I still fit into my normal clothes. It would seem more real if baby would move some more or if I would actually grow instead of losing weight. I’m down 11lbs now from where I started.
Chris doesn’t have school tomorrow because of a sudden wasp infestation in the kindergarten classroom. That makes life more difficult of course. Hopefully he’ll behave while I’m gone tomorrow, and Matt can check on them every now and then.
Ah well……..
