Bump is growing by the second
And now that I can’t tan anymore, I’m the worlds whitest white girl. I was hoping my tan would last a little further into my pregnancy. I’ve never been so pasty. Oh well.
Matt and I are enjoying walks and spending time together.
I know our days are numbered for it to just be the two of us. Last night we walked to Lenox Square and I wondered what our life will be like a year from now. No doubt we will be trying to get a screaming baby to sit long enough for a picture with this guy.
I’m so excited for our future. Sure, I’m scared. Everything is crazy right now, but we have each other.
That’s really all I need.
That, and my snoogle pregnancy pillow. Matt curls up with it when I get out of bed. It’s the best thing that I’ve found to help with sleep. I’m so uncomfortable most nights, but between him and this pillow I sleep pretty well.
I feel pretty good this week. Now that we know our little angel is a girl, we’ve been shopping for all things frilly and pink. We have a name! But we aren’t sharing until Baby Bump is here. Something needs to be somewhat of a surprise and I really don’t want anyone’s commentary on my baby name.
The name process itself was fun. First you have to go through lists of all the names it can’t possibly be (ex-boy/girlfriends, people you can’t stand, etc) then you throw names back and forth and watch the other person turn their nose up. We’ve been calling her our girl name all along, even before we knew she had lady bits. I’m so excited about the name because its cute and sweet and not strange or something that she’ll hate us for when she’s 25 and taking over the world.
The biggest development of week 21 is that Matt felt her kick finally! We were laying on the couch and his hand was on my tummy and she made herself known. The look on his face was priceless. Everyday I fall more and more in love with him. I know he will be the best daddy ever. He’s already so cautious and protective over me and Bump. And even though I feel giant and pregnant, he’s always telling me how beautiful I am and how amazing my body is. I’m making a baby so I’ve decided that it must be pretty amazing.
Life is good in our little corner of Atlanta.
We’re just trying out baby stuff and getting ready to be parents. Matt looks good in a Baby Bjorn, don’t ya think?
