Oh Baby!!!

Last night, laying in bed with daddy who is super sick right now, I just burst into tears. Poor daddy laid there rubbing my back not knowing what was wrong or what to do, but he did ask what was going on. Me: "I'm crying cause I'm pregnant" was my sobbed reply. Daddy: "Ummmmm...." Then every fear I've felt durring this pregnancy came spilling out. I don't know where some of them came from and a few of them were completely unfounded even! But when you're on a pregnancy induced hormonal roller coaster, rational thought sometimes leaves you dumbstruck. That was me last night. As I sobbed in daddy's arms last night I bared my soul to him. You see sweet Bean, I am terrified of not being the best mommy for you. I don't want to be the mom that makes you do everything while I do nothing. I promise I won't sit on the couch while you fetch me ice water and rub my feet before you are allowed to do kid things.

Let's face it. Daddy has always loved shoes. Always. He doesn't buy a whole bunch all at once, but when he does buy them, he gets the good ones. Stylish, comfy, functional. Tonight daddy started your collection of shoes. We stopped at Old Navy "just to look" and lo and behold the baby shoes are all on sale! We're talking 75% off sister! He bought you 6 pairs.... You'll love them. Promise. Or at least I'll love them on you. At 0-3 months I doubt you'll have much of an opinion!

Hi baby! Mommy here. Just checking in. Today we have another monthly check up with Dr. Woods. While we are super excited to hear your heart beat again, I am not so excited about the blood glucose screening test I get to take today. I get to chug a super sweet drink in under 5 minutes. Wait an hour and have my blood drawn. If I take to long to drink the syrup, or the technician can't get my blood drawn within the hour I have to redo it! I hope it all goes smooth. On the plus side, your checkup days have turned into date night for daddy and I! Last month we tried a new Chinese restaurant and it was surprisingly very good. Not sure what we'll try tonight but it's always fun to go out and relax and let someone else do the cooking and cleaning while we talk about you!
