It's Starting to Feel Real
By MrsFin1403 » Posted Nov. 1, 2011 8:33am - 170 views - 0 comments
Over the last week my breasts have grown a cup size, much to DH's delight, but with quite a bit of tenderness for me. Plus, I am starting to get the off and on queasy feeling. As long as I eat every few hours it's not bad and I haven't gotten sick yet, but these two developments are making the pregnancy feel more real.
I am sooo tired all the time and mentioned this to my OB, who happens to be my boss! I told him I didn't remember being this tired with my first 2 and that I am sleeping 12 hours a night and still feel exhausted during the day. I think he was joking...maybe...but he said "Well, are we sure there is just one in there?"
We haven't had an US yet and I really want to wait until I'm at least 8 weeks before we do, but the suspense is unnerving! What if there are 2 in there?
Colin was talking with me the other day and asked "What would happen if your belly got bigger and bigger and bigger?" I asked him, "What do YOU think that would mean?" He replied "That there is a baby in your belly." I just kind of smiled and nodded my head and said, "Have you been thinking about that?" He answered "I think there would be a boy and a girl and the boy could sleep in my room and we would have bunk beds." I asked him what got him thinking about this, expecting him to say the name of one of the newest baby cousins in our family, but instead, he said "Jesus in my heart."
I wanted to cry! What a precious thing to say, but also, what if God really is speaking to him, preparing his heart to be a big brother? The "boy and a girl" thing also made me wonder if he has some "insider information" from Above that we are having twins. It would be amazing and scary at the same time.
So, here I sit, riding out the next 2 weeks til our scheduled first prenatal visit and ultrasound when we can find out if there are one or two little beans in there and if my sweet boy has a direct line Jesus :)
