I am 6 weeks. Nervous. Anxious. Constantly praying for the lil baby the size of a lentil bean that is growing inside of me. Awaiting my first appt in 3 weeks w/my nurse-midwife at Vanderbilt.
Only slightly nauseated in the mornings... it usually wears off after I have some breakfast... fruit and stuff. Josh brought me a smoothie king this morning... so good!
Our friends Jessica and Matthew delivered their sweet Elias 3 weeks ago and we were able to take some sweet photos of him. This one is my favorite so far. We finally got him to sleep a lil bit and got a lil grin out of him.
I suppose maybe next week I'll start my weekly tummy shots. Of course, Im not showing yet... just some bloat but it will start the process. I imagine I might show quicker since I am rather tiny in the middle so I am going to start now. It's going to be so incredible to actually start to see the signs of a lil baby in there... it's still so un-real.
We had a nice weekend. I worked Saturday and came home and took a much needed nap. Then went to visit Elias and came home and went to bed. Sunday, I slept in for a bit since I had to get up early for work on Saturday while Josh went to church. I cleaned the 95% of the house on Sunday morning... it was great. Dusted, vacuumed, mopped the kitchen floor, did laundry and dishes. It was so great! Now the house smells and feels so fresh and so clean clean. I love a clean house. It's my favorite. Other than clean sheets... Clean sheets are really my most favorite thing ever. Totally random.
Well, back to work.
Oh... and if you don't know already... over at SIS there is a HUGE BASEMENT SALE!! 50-75% off!! Vintage grab bags... collections... LOTS more!

ReplyDeletei can't wait to see the tummy. lets talk soon:)
ReplyDeletelove u.
I had to laught when you said you will show early because youre tiny...my sister was really tiny and she didnt show for almost 6 months! Everyones bodies react differently. And Elias is adorable!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you remember me (I emailed you about a photo session a while back), but I still read your blog and noticed that you are going to the Vandy midwives! My son is 5 months old and was delivered by the midwives. LOVE them! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Definitely have my favorites in the group and would highly recommend seeing different ones throughout your pregnancy. I didn't know anything about midwives when I first got pregnant, so if you have any questions, just shoot me an email. Hope you have a blessed 9 months!
My next door neighbor was due yesterday and she just has a teeny, tiny, little pooch, lol!!! I was about her size at 5 months, but she is tiny and I'm not. :( I didn't have morning sickness with my 1st one, but I did with my 2nd and the only thing that helped me was cinnamon graham crackers. :) You are in for the time of your life!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, thanks for reminding me of the basement sale, I ordered some cool stuff. :P
ReplyDeleteAmber I am so happy for you and your husband (dogs too) for the new addition. My SIL has a 8 day old little girl at home and I was lucky enough to hold her on Sunday...ahhhh...little baby.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Amber! I bet you do show early since the littlest bump would show on you. I saw your brother at Pizza Hut. I went on about how good he looked with his hair curly and I could see his face. He probably thought I was a crazy lady. :o)
ReplyDeletei LOVE the mini you made over at dig deeper. glad you are feeling okay. it's so exciting. can't wait to see belly pics, you are too cute. try to rest as much as you can and don't overdo yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteAmber! Huge congrats! You won't remember me though I've commented before. I had four little babies, and it's just the most exciting time ever! I took monthly pics of my belly starting with 5 weeks when I discovered the first pregnancy. I then took pics on the due date of each month at the same location in my house, finishing with a pic of me holding our little bundle at 24 hours old. Too too cool was the resulting page I made with all 10 pictures.
ReplyDeletePS, I'm tiny too, and didn't really show until 3 months...even then I kinda "pushed it out...." I was so proud!
babies and clean sheets.
ReplyDeletetotal happiness.
couldn't agree with you more.

Hi Amber!!! Congratulations! Someone told me recently that you were expecting and I about fell out of my chair!!!! Wow! I'm so happy for you. Relish and cherish every minute for it will all pass quickly. Smooch!

ReplyDeleteOne more thing....be sure you get enough folic acid. Are you taking prenatal vitamins? If you can't handle the prescription ones, try Walmart brand. They are like $5 a bottle and they make you feel wonderful. I couldn't take prescription ones. They made me sick. You still have to eat a lot with the Walmart ones but they rock. Very important in the first trimester to get a lot of folic acid. OK, enough being bossy! Sorry!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Amber!
ReplyDeleteYou have not a clue who I am... I've been following your blog for a little bit and I'm so happy for you! Congrats on your pregnancy. I also just found out a few weeks ago that I'm expecting.... I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow. It goes quickly... I promise- so you be sure to enjoy every minute.
Anyhow- I'm wanting to start a pregnancy scrapbook and was hoping that you were starting one too. If you have.... could you post your first few pages with your next pregnancy update. I'm so excited to see what you're coming up with. I haven't started mine yet but I have all my pictures and notes/journaling ready to go.
I'm just waiting on you for some inspiration.... :)
Take care of yourself and the little one! Congrats again!
