Junior

Has it already been 3 months? Everything seems to be happening in a blur! I'll try to make up for lost (blogging) time by sharing what's up with me lately.

Actually, I think I'm just going to focus on the most recent significant milestone in my our lives - a week before my birthday, Jax and I learned that we're 6 weeks on the way! Yup, it's confirmed. I'm gonna be a mommy sometime in December or January. Isn't that amazing?!? We're hoping it's a boy. In fact, we're temporarily naming him "Junior", as if it has any effect on the baby's gender...

The night we knew we were pregnant. Yep, that's Jax holding the pregnancy test kit - positive! :)

I'd still like to think I'm fortunate my first trimester wasn't as bad as the usual stories I hear from other moms. Well, it was difficult in the sense that I found it so hard to wake up in the morning (can't get up in bed even if I'm already awake!), I was always sleepy (to think I'm not a sleep person), and I couldn't do any chores at home. But apart from those, I was ok - no morning sickness whatsoever, weird cravings, or any of those almost-standard pregnancy traumas. My mom said she didn't experience any of those either when she was pregnant so I'm hoping I'd have the same fate, including having normal delivery.

Now I'm at my 16th week. Except for the dreaded vitamins I have to take daily, (my friends know how much I abhor taking any form of meds), I'm much better. I can do a little bit more now, though still basic, not-much-effort-required stuff. There are still days when I just want to crawl under the sheets and sleep all day but I think that's really more because of the weather (which, by the way, drives me crazy!). My baby bump is more evident now and I'm finding it harder to choose what to wear to the office more and more each day. My very excited mother already gave me a few sets of preggy clothes, including two pairs of maternity pants (both of which probably wouldn't fit me until I'm on my 6th month!) but I still want to shop for more. Baby Center says I should be feeling my baby move anytime soon so that's something I'm very much looking forward to. :)

And how about the father? Ooooh Jax is even more excited than I am! I know he's trying his best to pamper me the best way he knows how. ;)
