The Good, The Bad, and The Just Plain Odd!

The Good...

 

I'm not going through this alone. My friend Jessica and I are both expecting soon. She is exactly 10 weeks ahead of me and it's nice to be able to send random questions or frustrations to other mommies who are going through the exact same thing at the moment! Doesn't she look great?!

Also...

As we are getting closer to our little girl's arrival (18 weeks to go!) we are making all our plans! So much decorating, shopping, and preparing to do! We have been completely blessed by such great family and friends who are always wanting to help and be supportive of us! The other day my sister in law Kara's co-worker told her that she had a couple outfits for me since her little girl was a January baby last year! After saying for sure I would take them off her hands this is what I got....

I'd say the hubby and I had a fun time sorting through everything while watching Lady and the Tramp. The hubby of course wanted to keep anything that had "Daddy" on it. It's such a great feeling to see how excited he gets over his little girl already! <3

The Bad....

I don't have much to actually complain about, EXCEPT a little Braxton Hicks and my comfort! I have the worst time getting in a comfortable position and I'm only 23 weeks along. I can only imagine how I'll feel in a month! I suppose this is my body preparing for long nights of no sleep with our little bundle of joy.

Just Plain Odd....

Pregnancy dreams!!! I've always heard you have strange dreams while pregnant, but I thought they would be baby related at least. Not here! All my dreams are creepy and someone is trying to kill me and my loved ones. Everything from Zombies, All the Batman Villians, to Norman Bates. I already don't sleep much due to not being comfortable, but when I do this is what the mind comes up with! (not so fun when you wake to pee and are afraid to walk to the dark bathroom)  Not to mention the hubby told me that since October is approaching we need to get in the scary movie mood! Totally sounds like a great idea. Lets keep the brain creativity going. ;)
