Baby on the brain!
I'm sure most of you have seen my Facebook but for those of you who haven't, I'm very happy to announce that Kamil and I are expecting our first child in late August! We are beyond excited and I'm in full research mode! Researching everything from organic mattresses to cosleepers to car seats.
The first 3 months was rough and we kept the secret from just about everyone. Since my sister had lost her first child at 17 weeks we decided to wait to announce the news. But I was dying to get it out there by the time we did! I will be 19 weeks tomorrow. Almost halfway there!
Yesterday, after going to dinner with my friend Lizzy, for her birthday, I took a very crowded subway on my way to Penn. There were no seats available. The people sitting in front of where I was standing were having a conversation. They suddenly got quiet and I noticed that they were trying to determine if I was pregnant or not. I had to laugh a little bit cause I'm still fairly small. When I have a sweater on it is hard to tell but when you can see me in just a t shirt, you can't mistake it. They finally offered me a seat (although I declined since, by that point, I was getting off at the next stop).
Being pregnant is wonderful but also totally weird! Your body is I longer your own and you don't have control anymore! I used to be able to control how I felt through out the day by getting enough sleep at night. Now I go to bed at 9 and wake up at 6 (that's 9 hours!!) and I'm still exhausted. Although now that I'm in my second trimester I'm feeling better and having a harder time going to sleep so early. Lately I've been getting 8 hours.
Kamil has been amazing through all of it so far! Always doing things for me because he knows they are harder for me to do (like the dishes that made me so nauseous in the beginning, and carrying the laundry downstairs). He is very patient and I'm so thankful for him!
