Well I am about 22 weeks in, and everything is going as it should! Nothing new to report which is a good sign. I feel the baby moving every so often which is a cool feeling, but other than that the baby and I are doing great! I am more hungry than the first three months, but surprisingly haven't gained that much weight. I owe that to going to the gym three days a week. Yep I am still going to the gym, people are amazed that I am still going. I am not sure why, its just something I have to do. I might as well do it now before I don't have time to sleep, eat or poop let alone go to the gym! Everyone at the gym is really supportive and encouraging which helps alot! I can't believe how time has flown by, it just seems like yesterday I found out I was pregnant! If this is an indication on how the first year is going to go...yikes!!
I think we have finally picked a name, well when we say we I mean my husband. He changes his mind like he changes his underwear. Everyday its "do you like this name?" I ask him what was wrong with the name from yesterday and he replies that he didn't quite like that one as much...this has been going on for the past five months, but especially since we found out we were having a girl! But finally one night, after a lot of searching, he has found the perfect name. Of course we are not telling anyone b/c I think that is the reason he has changed his mind so much. People always have an opinion and that of course leads to doubt, so this time mum is the word!
We registered at Toys R' us. That was an ordeal, not a bad one, but I didn't realize how time consuming it would be, nor how much information you needed to know on everything! We were looking at car seats and strollers for what seemed like an eternity! It was a little overwhelming, but at the same time fun and we managed with a lot of help from the Toys R' us staff.
We are planning on using cloth diapers. I am excited about that. I realize the cost is high at the beginning, but in the long run it will be much cheaper. For us its not even about the money, its about the environment. It takes seven years for one disposable diaper to decompose...gross!! I like to try and be as environmentally friendly with any product that I buy! We have a meeting tonight with a lady who sells cloth diapers, more like an orientation on how to use cloth diapers. It seems that they might take a little getting used to, so I am glad that there is a service that provides new parents with instructions on how to use them.
We are slowly, but surely getting ready for the newest addition to the Graham family. We are excited to meet her.
