My First Two Months of Pregnancy in Review...

Now that that cat is outta that bag I'll fill you in on the pregnancy 

Things of note (in no particular order)..

1. SUPER weird being the only ones to know your pregnant and not telling anyone. They should write about this in pregnancy books. Like a how to thing---For example: "How to lie to your family and friends and tell them that you are not pregnant when you are really about to be a balloon belly". Because my responses to questions like "So when is there going to be a baby Whipple running around?" was an awkward smile looking off to a corner or I would just turn and walk away. My momma told me it was no good to lie.

2. Energy. You might as well just forget about that because it don't matter how many fruits and vegetables or fresh air walks you take---you don't have any and bedtime becomes 5:00 when you get home from work---ok 7:00 but still!

3. I might hate myself later for typing this let alone admitting this but---Thank God---no morning sickness! I have been really lucky to just have small quick bouts of nausea in the morning but no real morning sickness.

4. While you are pumping your body with carrot sticks your husband is eating pizza 5 out of 7 days a week you are going to get real jealous and you are going to give your man a real stern talkin to. Be prepared gentlemen.

5. Fresh air is all you need. I crave it like I think people crave pickles or chocolate. Walks are the best these days even while I am at work.

6. Don't EVER watch a birthing video while pregnant it will take you to the deepest darkest terrors that exist in the depths of your soul. And as I mentioned before you WILL cry (potentially uncontrollably---Ok maybe I tend to be a little dramatic but that **** is scary)

7. I have always loved fruit but now I LOVE fruit- fruit smoothies, fruit for snack, fruit all the time. I almost love fruit as much as peonies but I don't want to get too carried away.

8. I have the most amazing husband in the entire world. I say that with the utmost sincerity- no one's husband is better than mine. (na na na na boo boo) Because we were not planning (see previous post back in January---whoops) on a baby he has embraced this and my wild emotions with such amazing poise. He is calm, cool, collected, and sooo freaking sweet when he smiles about our baby. I can honestly say that he has been the best part of all of this. I think about that Jason Aldean song "Laughed until we cried" because even though I was already crying when we found out the MOST amazing feeling was holding onto him tight and laughing until we cried together. Not to mention I get it now why people are married before baby because HELLO you need someone to reassure you and make you laugh during the whole thing.

9. I have lost a little bit of sleep over whether or not our child will ever have a "real stuffed animal" because our dog can destroy something like that in .5 seconds flat. Ohhh the woes!

10. I've said it before and I'll say it again "we are so incredibly lucky" so far I have a healthy happy pregnancy.

11. No bump yet!
