We began summer school this week and this was not what I expected at all. I'm used to working with my population of students and for this summer, I'm working with a a completely different population and more challenging. It's a change out of the norm, which makes me super nervous...and probably a little stressed. I just have to think that there is only 4 more weeks to go and that I CAN DO IT. I treated myself to a prenatal massage this week to try and relax a little. It was worth it.
This weekend is Father's Day. I already bought AJ some Ray-Bans and gave them to him last week. He's been throughly enjoying them I'd like to add. I couldn't wait because he needed sunglasses so badly. I also bought him the book, The Expectant Father: The Ultimate Guide for Dads-to-Be, just to give him something to do. I feel like all I do is research about the best baby products and what are the basics and essentials and I need for him to do something too, haha! I'm looking forward to seeing his face when he opens it!
Other than my growing belly and boobs, I don't really see changes anywhere else. My boobs still hurt. AJ said my booty and thighs are growing, but theylook the same to me...but he would know better than anyone. My mom says that my face is getting fat...but I don't see that either...and neither does anyone else really. My cousin says that I am too big to be 5 months, but I'm not letting that bother me. I think I'm small. She says that's indicative of a boy...we'll see around October 18!
Baby B enjoys moving late at night and really early in the mornings. usually after I drink a nice, cold glass of water, it gets my little nugget moving. As I'm getting closer to the end, I actually feel like I'm going to be a mom. Of course I knew this all along, but just coming to the realization that you are growing a little person inside of you (as my stomach gets bigger weekly) and that 2 people created this being is amazing. I am starting to feel comfortable talking to Baby B, and AJ is starting to use his real voice and saying more than "Hey Baby" (in his Dave Chapelle voice). Usually he keeps what he says a secret...but hopefully that will change when Baby B can talk and tell Mommy everything! :)
