Things Seem Different

Maybe it's becuase I know about this pregnancy a lot sooner than I did with Ryan, or maybe it really is true that pregnancies are very different each time around, but this time, things are so much different! I was already 9-10 weeks when I found out about Ryan, and really didn't have much of a clue before then, so I'm thinking that maybe I didn't notice most of the symptoms.

Well, I notice them ALL now! I've been queasy from the time I wake up to usually right after lunch, my chest is killing me, I'm running to the bathroom all the time (and already through the night!), killer heartburn, and I can already tell that my clothes don't fit the same anymore. Getting ready for work this morning really got me. I have one favorite pair of work pants from New York & Co, and it looks like I'm going to have to try and get some more, because they are about the only pair that are still comfy. All of my other ones are getting tight around the waist although, thank goodness, I haven't gained any weight. But I'm only 7 weeks! So I'm stuck at what to do. I don't want to spend the money on maternity clothes just yet because I know I won't be able to fit in them in a few months, but I can't keep wearing my regular clothes much longer either. Oh how I wish I was able to wear my gauchos to work!

Things are starting to sink in around the house. We sold our spare bedroom furniture yesterday to a friend who needed it so that we can start clearing out the third bedroom. When Ryan got home and noticed it, he questioned it, and we told him we had to clean it out for his new baby brother/sister. He looked at me very concerned and said, "But Mommy, we can just put the baby in my room with me and I'll watch out for it". How cute is that? But when I informed him that babies get up all throughout the night and you have to get up with them, and feed them, and change their diapers, he quickly changed his mind and decided it was a good idea for Baby Wooten to have his/her own room. HA! Now we just need to get the rest of our junk out of the room (easier said than done), get the carpets cleaned, and then we'll start decorating after we find out if it's a boy or girl. I can't wait! :)
