How big is baby? The size of a Cantaloupe.
Sleep? Sleeping pretty good, it's getting harder to move from side to side with the ever growing belly.
Best moment this week? I feel really good and I'm getting excited about meeting our little lady. I went to meet my husband last night at the new house after work, I picked up our favorite Italian and when I got there he had a fire going in the fireplace. Since we don't have any furniture there yet we put a blanket on the floor in front of the fireplace and had dinner, it was sweet, romantic and a wonderful memory.
Movement? Yes and I love it.
Food cravings? Pasta and bagels with cream cheese.
Gender? Girl
What I miss? Not sure if this is normal at all or if I am just going through something but I've started getting really freaked out about thinking of life with another person in it...not just me and Barrett. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled with having this baby but am nervous about how life will change. I know we have such wonderful things to look forward to but it is hard letting go of the previous life we had if that makes sense. So much has changed and it's tough, we aren't two single mid twenty somethings in NYC living the good life, we got married, we moved to Philly, bought a house and are expecting our first baby. These are all wonderful changes but changes nonetheless and in a relatively short period of time.
What I am looking forward to? Figuring out what we are going to name this little girl. We have some contenders but aren't sure. The names on my list are Charlotte, Caroline, Adelaide, and Hazel. (the middle name is Riley- my mom's maiden name)
Weekly wisdom? Realize there is only so much I can do, I feel guilty all the time that I'm not doing enough. My dear, sweet, wonderful, hardworking, caring husband has an amazing/stressful/demanding job and then he spends his weekends and evenings getting the new house ready for our family, he doesn't complain but I know he is exhausted and all I want to do is to help but there isn't a ton I can do being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I work full time too but I can't do much on the new house. I try to take care of all or most of the household chores, errands, meal preparation etc but I still feel like I want to do more for him. I am a very empathetic person, to a fault, where I internalize others feelings and thoughts and take them on as my own, so if he is feeling tired/stressed/overworked I feel it too and all I want is for him to be happy and relaxed all the time.
Milestones? Baby girl's skin is becoming more opaque, thank goodness because see-through skin would freak me out! I'm into my sixth month, time is flying by.
