Happy Half-Way-Day to meeee!! (Do not burst my bubble - I know some people do not consider 20 weeks to be truly halfway.)
What can I say? Things are good! I wish I could say great, and I would if not for these pesky headaches that show up almost every day. But we are dealing. And doc looked at me like I was crazy when I told her I am avoiding tylenol. She said to not only take it, but add in a half a soda and then it's almost like migraine meds! So I am allowing it once or twice a week. No more nausea - not in almost 6 weeks now. Awesome.
Last night my mom brought over the bedding set she bought me. I have long had a vision of decorating my first baby's room (because I always knew she would be a girl) in pink and orange (like a nice light orange). Then I decided I wanted an animal theme. Finding the two together (along with cuteness) was not easy! And when I finally did, I realized it was being clearanced. I sent my mom off to BRU and she found it all for less than $100 when it was normally $170, and she even got extra pieces. It's so cute! I know the comforter is a waste because it should not go in the crib but I am thinking of hanging it on the wall. I can't wait to paint. We'll wait until the 28 week scan just to be sure she isn't really a he, especially given she wasn't really cooperating last time.
And movement! I am getting better at telling the difference between baby and digestion. I still don't feel her often, but when I do it's great. This morning at my work meeting she was going crazy - I have never felt it like that! I loved it! I'm pretty sure she was excited by all the science. :)
I have really reached a turning point. I talk about "whens" all the time and I really allow myself to believe she will be here in July. And I have fallen so, so much in love with her. Just typing that almost makes me cry. But all of this still scares me to death. I have so much to lose now.
I have had another nagging, irrational fear since the last ultrasound that I haven't shared here. Maybe I will feel better when she reaches viability? Probably not. I have said I will feel better when fill in the blank so many times already. It is too late. I have given her my whole heart. And there is no turning back.

Oh you stole the words right out of my mouth. I too, am so terribly, heart-stoppingly, amazingly in love with my little boy and it's terrifying. I know how you feel. I'm right there with you dear. We'll get through this and be holding our blessings in July. CONGRATS!! I consider 20 weeks 1/2 way so celebrate away!! I'll be celebrating Monday. So awesome you found a bedding set that encompassed everything you imagined!! And a bargain, even better. Those moments when you're in a meeting and you feel her move just bring a huge smile to your face don't they? I was doing interviews this week and he'd start having Dance Party USA in there and I'd get a silly grin on my face. Hope the migraines cease soon. What a drag.
ReplyDeleteOh, I completely understand and agree. It's unfathomable to me sometimes. I have to tell myself, "THIS REALLY IS HAPPENING...TO ME!!!". It is wonderful and nerve-wracking and exciting and terrifying all at once. I couldn't be happier and I know that you couldn't either. :)
ReplyDeleteThe movement makes is all seem so much more real for me, too. And on the headache note, mine have finally stopped visiting daily...hope your's are on the way out the door, too.
I love pink and orange, too. Our stroller/carrier set is 2 shades of pink, orange and chocolate brown...I love it and have seacrhed and searched for comparable bedding. Congrats on getting yours...and on sale, too!!
Happy Halfway! So happy for you! :)
Hooray for the half way mark! You shoud post pictures of the bedding set. I totally want to see it. :)
ReplyDeleteI always knew my first would be a girl too. I went with lavendar for the nursery color.
As for the comforter, you will be able to use it when she gets a bit older. My daughter's is in her closet waiting for next winter.
I just started feeling the little one this past week and its amazing. Its becoming real! Yay for 1/2 way. I'm with you, I consider it halfway too!
ReplyDeleteHalf way girl woo hoo. I so get everything you said. I am only very very early as you know, and I am so scared. I pray wish, hope and yearn to be where you are in the months ahead. xoxo
ReplyDeletethat bedding sounds gorgeous- you'll have to post a pic.
ReplyDeleteHope the headaches get better and the anxiety lessens somewhat!
hugs.
