Well, most of you know my big news by now, but for those of you I haven't seen in a while....I'M PREGNANT!!!! After trying for a couple of years, my husband and I have finally been blessed with this amazing miracle of life growing inside me. I have decided that I am going to journal my experience here on my blog, because it's what's going on in my life and I'm sure so many of you can relate :) I'm 24 weeks along and due on September 1st. For those of you wondering about my maternity leave, I haven't set anything in stone, but I will keep you updated!
I have had a really wonderful experience so far, no morning sickness (don't hate me) and all around feeling pretty good. The worst part for me is not sleeping at night. I'm a pretty big fan of sleeping eight hours every night (sometimes more), but now I wake up at 3:00 am almost every night...it's 4:00 am as we speak! And, I've begun obsessively cleaning. I spent about 5 hours yesterday scrubbing down my kitchen and bathroom. I never knew how much I needed to dust my pantry and don't even get me started on the kitchen floors, they will never be clean enough! I'm not as bad as my husband though. He started his nesting phase the day we found out I was pregnant. He has had me organizing my office, cleaning out my closets and forcing me to get rid of the junk I apparently had no idea I had. All in all, we have officially gone crazy and are loving every minute of it!
For all you moms who have advice for me, I would love hear it, just leave me a comment. Especially any advice on what the heck to register for, that is one overwhelming project!
And, for those of you wondering, we are not finding out what we are having, so you will just have to wait until September! I don't like to post without images, so here is one of a cute little wooden dog I found for the baby...
