Lemon

I wrote this post ahead of time to chronicle our pregnancy journey before we made the big announcement for all the world to see! 9.17.12

I can almost imagine the movements that our little kiwi is making right now. By this point, the baby is moving around, sucking it's thumb, and making facial expressions. It baffles me that our little one formed from something too tiny to even see to a human big enough to do all of that in just three months.

My sypmtoms this week have been good ones. I've been excited and sensing myself shift into what I call mommy mode. I've been eagerly researching cribs and non-toxic crib mattresses, the safest car seats and best strollers for getting around, sweet baby carriers so that we can hold out little one close... I haven't been sick this week, although I have sensed that things are changing in my abdomen. It's been a little uncomfortable and I'm starting to pop out enough that Grant can easily tell.

 The ruffly shirt kind of masks the bump, but it's there!
(I was also really tired by the time we took this picture.)
The most exciting part right  now is THE BUMP! I think it's starting to look less like I ate too much and more like a legitimate baby bump. Since we haven't leaked the news to everyone, I'm doing my best to hide it. Maternity clothes don't quite fit yet and finding normal clothes that fit is becoming quite the challenge. Wardrobe creativity is the spice of my life right now.

The most difficult part right now is wanting to get everything ready for baby and knowing that I need to take my time. I like to tackle projects right away - it's just part of my personality. Here comes the "p" word again: patience. I'm still learning :)

Right now is a good time to be pregnant. I'm not sick anymore and the weather is beautiful. It's the perfect time to research baby products with the windows open and peaceful music playing. Life is good!

Love, the George family
