Baby Morris Entry #1

Hi Everyone, 

I have some incredible news to share with you. My husband and I are expecting our first child! We are nervous, excited, blessed, scared, happy. As you can already notice, we are feeling tons of emotions, but happiness is the one we're feeling by far. God is good. I've decided to complete questionnaires such as the one below every now and then throughout the course of my pregnancy just for the fun of it. 

How far along: 15 weeks

Total weight gain: About 6-7 pounds

Maternity clothes: I already bought pants and jeans from the maternity section at Old Navy (online selection is much better compared to the store).

Stretch marks: Nope. That reminds me...I need to purchase some lotion to prepare for them. I know they're coming...

Sleep: About 3 weeks ago, I would have crazy dreams/nightmares every night and then I would stay awake from the anxiety afterwards. Thank goodness that went away, but I get up at least once every night to empty my bladder. 

Best moment of this week: Kevin and I read weekly updates from The Bump and this week we learned that the baby is starting to hear us. Kevin started talking to our baby and said, "Hi Baby, don't drive your Mama crazy." I love seeing this side of my husband. 

Miss anything: Strong coffee.

Movement: Nothing yet.

Food cravings: Sour gummy worms 

Anything making you queasy or sick: the trash

Have you started to show yet: I just feel lumpy right now and I feel and look like I'm bloated most of the time. At least, I don't think I'm showing a pregnant belly yet. 

Gender: I honestly don't know. At first, I was boy 100%, but now I'm starting to think maybe girl. 

Labor signs: No where near that.

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or moody most of the time: So incredibly happy. I find myself smiling at the thought of our baby (I can be anywhere, last time I caught myself I was at Save Mart) and how he/she will look like. I hope he/she has their daddy's eyes.

Looking forward to: Having some quality time with family this weekend. My parents and siblings are so excited for their grandchild/niece/nephew. We're already thinking about baby shower ideas and games. 

I've wanted this for so long, I cannot wait to have you in my arms, Baby of mine.

Goodnight world.

With love,

Ale
