Our First Baby
My journey on the way to motherhood
Well two weeks have passed since I had my sweet little monkey but I have been crazy busy or too tired to post. Here is my darling Aria. She arrived at 1:01 pm on January 4th, weighing in at a whopping 5 lbs 4 oz after a day and a half of labor. Birth story coming soon!
Today was my first baby shower :) I have a very large family and they are a little spread out so I’m spoiled and get to have two! I am so lucky to be surrounded with so much love. I’m happy to be bringing a little girl into such a great family.
7 months this week. Holy bejeezus.
26 weeks!
I GIVE UP
I’m going to buy muffins and cupcakes and candy and whatever else I want today. I’ve been good for TOO LONG!
Week 25
I wish I had more pregnant friends. It would be nice to have someone to invite to prenatal yoga or to browse the children’s section of the bookstore with me.
My clothes are not fitting me so well anymore but maternity clothes are still too baggy so I’m stuck in this weird pregnant style purgatory.
I think I’m going to have to give away my cat. She is a large orange love machine but she makes me sneeze and itch like crazy.
I want sex ALL THE TIME, but I can’t have it so this puts me in a bad mood quite a bit.
I think I found my first stretch mark.
It’s getting very difficult to paint my toenails.
23 weeks! She kicks and rolls around pretty constantly now except for when someone else wants to feel it. I guess she’s shy. Sleeping is becoming a little more difficult these days and sometimes my back hurts but it is heaven compared to how sick I was during my first trimester. I have another ultrasound on Tuesday and this will be the first one my husband gets to attend so I’m really excited. I’ve tried to take a video for him but the tech will never let me so he has only seen pictures. I finally got her room painted and we’re picking up the furniture to put in next week. I’m so excited! I can’t believe everything is going by so fast.

This article sounds like my mom could have written it word for word. It’s exactlywhat a panicky new mom-to-be needs to read!
