I love the whole community surrounding pregnancy. Two different women have already given me boxes of maternity clothes. For those unaware, clothes sold in actual “maternity” stores are not cheap. So this is a huge help and I’m grateful.
Not a moment too soon. The actual baby bump is still small — he or she is now the size of a pear — but my belly is distended, making some of my clothes tight in the waist. Apparently, that’s normal, but it makes me look like I’m showing when really, there’s nothing much to show for 15 weeks.
Meanwhile, the baby is certainly going to be well dressed. My mother- and sister-in-law returned from a trip to Spain with a bag full of fantastically cute clothes. The cherry on top: a futbol (soccer) jersey with the name Suarez on the back. (He’s a famous player.) Plus, they’ve given us a head start on toys with a couple of books in Spanish.
A few updates:
- I had my most recent doctor’s appointment a couple of weeks ago and got to hear the heartbeat again. Everything sounds good! Next one: Sept. 17.
- Now that T2 has arrived, my energy is back, which feels amazing.
- We’re making progress on the room; updates on that soon!
