On Being Pregnant...


Well, it is interesting that I wanted to show SOOOOO badly, and now that I finally am, I have to stop myself from being too self-conscious. I LOVE being pregnant and LOVE knowing that this lil growing belly is home for our lil gal... but I can't say I love feeling heavy, slow, cumbersome, and fat. The back aches alone are not that big of a deal, but combine that with the on-your-feet type of work I do right now... and you get the picture. I'm already tired. And I'm not even technically in the 3rd trimester yet!

However, I am thrilled to report the athletic activities of our lil girl! She is so cute when she wakes up. She kicks and squirms for a good hour, delighting me with her budding soccer skills (during the day), and keeping me awake (at night or early morning)! Then she'll be quiet and peaceful for a good 3-4 hours before deciding it is time for communicating with Mommy or "playtime with Daddy" as Eric likes to call it. Last week he was trying to talk to her through my belly (he delights in waking her up) so he pressed his ear down to try and hear her squirm or a response of any kind... and she full on KICKED HIM IN THE FACE! Our lil gal doesn't take kindly to being woken up, I guess!

  2. You look so great pregnant! It is pretty exhausting doing all your normal stuff with that belly throwing you off, but you'll survive. Sounds like you have an active little one. She'll be so much fun. I can't wait to see what she looks like! :)

  3. Awww! You look SO beautiful Elisa! I am sorry about the aches and pains, aren't they a joy . . . it is amazing though, somehow you seem to forget it all once baby is born, I think it might have to do with the lack of sleep:):)

  4. I didn't know you had a blog. You look so cute. I just had a baby girl. They are so sweet. It is fun buying all the girly stuff. I bet you are having fun getting ready. Do you have any weird cravings. I remember when we were roommates you came home one night exhausted and made some weird meal. I don't think you remember what you ate the next morning. Get as much sleep as you can because you won't get much when she is born.
