I'm 20 weeks tomorrow...half way through my pregnancy. It's scary to think that in only 4 months I will have a little baby to care for. Another human that I am responsible for, for the next 18 years!
So far it's been a good pregnancy. No morning sickness or weird cravings. Lots of fatigue though. Some days I would come home from work and just sleep until the next day, and even then I wasn't rested. It's gotten better though. I still have to pee a lot, but not as much in the middle of the night. I have felt a few small kicks...or at least I think that's what they are. They could be muscle spasms so who knows. My belly's unhidable now and it's more obvious that I am pregnant and not just fat. Lol.
We're still trying to choose a name for our son. It's harder than I thought it would be. Names I like, he doesn't and names he likes I don't. He seems to shoot down all my ideas and is stuck on a few names that I thought we eliminated awhile ago. Ugh...it's such an important decision that seems so crazy to make. I mean we are deciding a lot for someone we haven't even met yet. There's so much to consider...nicknames, words that rhyme, things kids could make fun of, initials, phonetic sound, syllables, spelling.... and the list goes on!
On top of that we have to pick out all this stuff. Strollers, car seat, crib, nursery accessories, blankets, learning toys, feeding supplies, diapers. It's soooo much for someone so small!
On the plus side, we have great friends and family who have helped us find deals and are passing gently used items down to us. My mom bought us the crib bedding as a surprise and I am sooooo grateful for that! I had a feeling that it's not something we would have gotten at a shower. We have a lot of stuff on the registry already, but we haven't even added the feeding and changing stuff like bottles and diapers. It's overwhelming!
We have a plan though...one step at a time. We're going to buy the crib, a bookshelf, and the nursery flooring this weekend so that's exciting!
