It’s sorta kinda my first mother’s day. To Rafael, mother’s day is on the 10th of May, not a floating Sunday. I’ll go with it…adopting the Latin American date makes me feel very multi-cultural. So feliz dia de la madre to me!
There are some awesome and not-so-fantastic things that I have learned so far…
Awesome list:
1. Giggling with excitement with other soon-to-be mom friends.
2. Planning the nursery with my favorite art director.
3. Pouring over lists of names and imaging what he or she will look like.
4. Enjoying date nights extra now because we know our life will be different soon!
5. Stretchy pants. If I get my appetite back, I am going to a buffet or something.
Not-so-fantastic?
1. People who think it’s okay to tell me that I look fat. I still have feelings, people!
2. Afternoon tiredness. I could seriously take a nap every day. Maybe they won’t notice if I hide under my desk?
3. Already stressing about daycare.
4. Getting nauseous if I don’t eat, or if I do, or when I’m driving, and when I’m riding. And sometimes when I’m thinking.
5. Having to wait! October 25 can’t come soon enough.

Enjoy all of the good things about having a baby and tell the people who think you look fat to shut up! You are a beautiful pregnant woman!!!

you guys have so much to look forward to…enjoy all of this planning and waiting and it will go faster than you think! So sorry about the fat comments. It makes me cringe. I remember people telling me they knew I was preggo b/c I wasn’t fit anymore. Who says that? Uggg, anyway…people do not have sensors when it comes to pregnant ladies so let it roll off your back. You are beautiful and I am sure a glowing mama-to-be!
