We're getting there! 10 weeks....1/4 of the way done. Putting it in those terms is a little scarey to think about...
The highlight of this week....finally telling our parents! They were all so excited. My parents took a while to figure out what her shirt said. And it was horrible having to wait until Saturday morning when Aaron was back from his trip and Zoe was up. My dad kept asking Friday night when we were going to have another. I think I did a pretty good job lieing :) Then we told Aaron's parents on Sunday - a little hurried since we had to wait for Zoe to get up from her nap and then needed to leave to get to his sides Easter party. At my family's Easter, my uncle commented on if I was eating for two (ok, I had two small roll sandwiches) and my cousin said Zoe clearly needed a sibling since she was so obsessed with their "baby" as Zoe kept calling out.
It was a great weekend though. Beeba, Nana, Zoe, and I went to the Meijer Gardens Saturday morning. Zoe was more intrigued with the "wawa" (water) and plants but we had fun. We'll definitely have to go back when it's warmer. I had no idea they had so much outdoor space for kids. Then we went to lunch at Panera before heading home for naptime. My mom and I treated ourselves to a mani/pedi as well. Sunday was FILLED with church, parties, and a little bit of relaxing while Zoe napped.
I'm starting to feel less sick, but I'm not sure if that's because the "morning sickness" is going away or if I'm consciously eating more. I have a bowl of cereal before bed which has greatly helped how I feel in the morning and then I snack all day and make sure I haven't something for the ride home just in case. But smells....ugh. They just are horrible. Our house still smells "weird" to me and Aaron promises he doesn't smell it. The fridge at work, the trash at home. I literally have to stop breathing sometimes quickly while I'm doing stuff like opening the fridge or throwing something away. Just breathing out of my mouth even makes me gag. It's bad.
Again, I'm running out of flowy shirts. Yesterday, I just said screw it and wore one or my regular sweaters. It is what it is at this point. I do need to bust out my bella bands soon though. Some of my work pants have to be unbuttoned by the end of the day.
No huge worries right now. Of course, I've spotted on and off since Saturday which made me wonder if telling our parents was a mistake. But in the end, these are the people who would know if something bad happened anyhow so it's ok. But it's been much lighter and less frequent than with Zoe so I'm trying not to think about it.
Aaron dislocated his shoulder on Saturday so things have been a little interesting. I've been on making dinner, cleaning up, and 100% Zoe duty all week. I'm exhausted by the time 7:30 hits. He's doing what he can though. It's just hard when Zoe's starving, she needs to eat, but all she wants is for ME to hold her until her dinner is ready. And it's near impossible to cook her dinner and hold her at the same time. Thankfully, yesterday has been the only really bad day.
