Hello Glamazons!
Hope you all had a lovely, wonderful, and relaxing Labor Day weekend! The Buccio's sure did! Well, we'll have to confirm that with Coco.
The bulk of our Saturday was spent doing our baby registry at Buy Buy Baby. First off, this place will drive you 1) to drink 2) insane 3) did I mention, to drink??
After over 4 hours of going up and down baby aisles with all sorts of gadgets and gizmos and bottles and diapers, we accomplished our registry! (and still had our sanity). (http://www.buybuybaby.com/regGiftRegistry.asp?wrn=%2D1958428876) It's about 85 percent done. Need to adjust and add a couple of things once we find out the sex of the baby (hopefully in 2 weeks!) But I couldn't do this alone. I had a registry cheat sheet thanks to some super chic moms who shared their infinite wisdom so it wasn't as overwhelming as it had the potential to be. And Coco was happy since he got to be the designated item scanner with his cool gun and he got to pick out the stroller color and accessories. That kept him entertained.
Had a doctor appt this past week to follow up on the NT scan and everything is looking perfect and the exam came back with the highest score possible. Well duh, do we not know this baby's annoyingly overachieving mother who was a straight A student?! Got a quick glimpse of the baby and it was swimming around having the time of its life. This assured me of 2 things: 1) this is not a lazy baby. 2) this baby can swim like his dad which is fantastic considering his mother only knows how to doggy paddle and never passed the swimming test at Venetian pool. waa waa. If this baby is a boy, you know he will be rockin the Speedos!
So I'm officially 15 weeks! (that's 3 months and 3 weeks) 6 months to go! Baby is the size of an orange. Isn't that surreal and just fruity?! I'm feeling like myself again in this second trimester. No more nausea. Amen baby Jesus! I did have to change my toothpaste because it was making me gag. So purchased some very fancy bubble gum flavored Dora the Explorer one to make my routine gag-free. I get indigestion from time to time, which is normal. As well as nasal congestion/minimal nose bleeds which is also normal and a product of the estrogen causing parts of you to swell. Still get tired but not as horrible as the first trimester (that first trimester kicked my ass- and won). My cravings haven't fluctuated much. Still craving kettle cooked potato chips, turkey meatballs, bistec empanizado, phish food ice cream, pizza- basically anything salty and fried. BUT I do make a conscious effort to keep it healthy as well with some salads, veggies, fruit juices, and egg whites.
I want say THANK YOU to those of you who email/text me almost everyday to check up on me, see how I'm feeling, and how I'm doing. It's the little things, but it really means a lot to me. Can I just say, enjoying this city and my social life altogether sober is a whole different experience?! Wowsers. That's not to say I don't miss my champers and vino (I'll soon start to enjoy my one glass of spirits a week!). But seriously, it's a whole new and different world. Inevitably, things will change with this new experience. Life, relationships, friendships, travel buddies, restaurant reservations, etc. It's just what happens. C'est la vie. I'm excited for the changes, scared, but excited. I continue to feel so blessed and happy with all that God has given me in life- both good and bad. I look at my husband (and personal chef), my friends and family near and far, and everything around me and think, I wouldn't change a thing.
MILF in training,
Kat.
