Waking up pregnant

Hello Baby,

Today is Day 1 of waking up and knowing for certain you are mine. Ours. Mine and Daddy's. All ours!

I know this blog will be viewed by others someday soon and I can't believe how brave I'm being but I want to document everything about us.

**Readers Beware, altho the following material is rated PG and honestly, there are more clothes below than at the beach, I warn you to proceed with caution LOL**

Ok Baby, I'm going to show you how you are blooming inside me in pictures of us throughout our 9 months in unison, so you can see how we blossom together.

This is our first morning together - me, you and Daddy - he, of course, is taking the pictures. I think I'm already glowing :) :) :)

Holding you in my hands already

Not many women are honest about their weight but in this case, who cares. I want to remember everything and what better way than putting us on the scale - let's watch us grow in numbers too. This has pretty much been around my trying to get pregnant weight for quite a while now. The vanity is gone. The muscles are gone. Being fit is gone. I haven't cared about being skinny in recent years much because they say when preparing for baby, you need some meat on your bones. Good thing I'm blessed with good genes - and if the divine is listening, I'm hoping in the end, for a quick bounce back. But for now, let's see how much we like to eat and watch how fast and high those numbers will go!

Our Starting Weight

Good thing I have a pedicure! Now, about that flip-flop tan... argh.

Dada can't believe you're really real yet, but who can blame him, it took us so long to find you, but once he sees us growing and sees your little heart beating it will all feel really real for him, and I guess me too, since I'm still a bit in shock since I don't feel any different. We want to see proof! Then, we'll get to finally tell people about you. I think we'll start with your 2 sets of grandparents, as there is one set of them, your Daddy's parents, who will finally have their first grandchild. We'll let them know all about you as soon as we hear and see your fetal heartbeat go ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom. Everyone is going to be SO excited!

Now, I'm definitely still in seventh heaven, on a cloud, floating high above. But all I can think of is... please stay. Stay. Stay. Stay, my little baby. I love you so very much.

XOXO
Mommy
