Happy Easter to everyone!
The baby bump has arrived! :) I'm still wearing all regular shirts as maternity shirts seem to have too much material in the front and the bump just isn't ready to fill them out quite yet. In another few weeks, I'm hoping those shirts will look much better. One advantage to working in healthcare? Wearing scrubs. Scrubs are very forgiving and I'm hoping to get by until July without having to upsize my work wardrobe.
Baby Girl is much more active throughout the day which is so amazing and reassuring to feel her movements. I rested a baby book on my belly the other night and the book visibly moved when she kicked! When I sit this 9-month old patient on my lap, without fail, she starts moving as if to say..."hey, wait a minute...what's he doing so close?"
Symptoms this past week include fatigue in the afternoons and increased appetite. No cravings yet though. She and I are still big fans of Cheerios :) I can feel the stomach muscles stretching now that the uterus is getting higher. Those upper abs aren't too sure about this requirement and have been achy, feeling like they are being pulled apart. Luckily, that discomfort was only for a few days but I'm sure the sensation will return as the pregnancy continues. These changes can only mean one thing, she's growing!
Baby Girl and I have a few busy weekends coming up as next weekend we're driving to San Antonio/Austin area for shopping and the annual strawberry festival. Then the following weekend, we're flying home to Indiana to meet my new niece who is already 4 months old!
I think there was a few other things I was intending to mention during this post but I can't recall what they were so they'll have to be saved for next time.
