Not quite two years have passed since we returned from the world's greatest honeymoon and started our lives as married folks. We had hoped to start a family right away, but the universe was being stubborn and we were forced to become well-acquainted with the virtue of patience. More than a year after we pulled the proverbial goalie, the stars aligned and now we find ourselves facing parenthood in a mere 7 weeks. We're having a baby boy.
We plan to revive this blog to record our grand adventure into parenthood. The details thus far:
- I am 33 weeks pregnant, due May 7. The baby is measuring exactly on schedule.
- I was sick for the first trimester and a bit beyond. Makes me green around the gills just to remember it.
- The second and third trimesters have been lots of fun -my appetite came back, I've been energetic and our prenatal testing has been reassuring. We've both been enjoying the pregnancy since around 16 weeks.
- No, we don't have his name chosen yet. Yes, we have a list of names. No, we aren't sharing our choices. We love you anyway.
- I miss wine.
- Lloyd has thoughtfully gained some sympathy weight.
Coming up in the next few weeks: Two baby showers, a tour of our hospital's birthing suites, my mom is painting a mural in his room and we must install our infant seat. I suspect the infant seat installation will warrant its own post.
