I saw your parents, the grandparents-to-be, on Easter. Oh, how proud and excited they are!
I am not sure what to write about this week. What is going on with you? What things are you thinking about? Inspire me.
I did want to pass along some of my favorite web sites. Perhaps you already know them all!
Lil Sugar is where I head to see the latest kid fashions and read up on loads of fun and useful baby, kid, and parenting stuff.
ParentDish provides links to the latest child-development studies, as well as interesting articles on all topics parent related.
And when I want to compare myself to the more genetically advanced, I head over to Celebrity Babies. Too fun and too cute for words!
Miss you and happy baby growing!
Love, Julie
Aww! I'm so glad you saw my parents! I miss them so much and I can't wait to see them again in May! Thank you for the websites! I cannot wait to peruse them all!
ReplyDeleteAs for what's going on with me...well, for one, it is really hard to get dressed every day. I feel like I am in this inbetween stage where the maternity clothes are too big, but my regular clothes are getting quite tight and not so attractive. People tell me my dress is cute and I blurt out, "I'm pregnant" just so they don't think I am just fat. What's up with that?? I think it's time to embrace the bump, but what a weird feeling to get bigger when we spend so many years of our lives trying to stay in shape and maintain our weight. It is definitely different! I am going to go to my Zumba class tonight, but I'm afraid this may be one of my last classes for a while. I love it so much, but I think I push myself too hard and then I don't feel very good afterwards, so I need to find an alternative. I have been walking when I can and I love my prenatal yoga classes on Saturday mornings, but is that enough? I don't want to push it too hard, but I also want to maintain a certain level of fitness. My thought is that I need to start swimming, so hopefully I will get into that soon!
Another issue...sleep! I have had a very hard time adjusting to sleeping on my left side. I am a back sleeper and like eating sushi, that is a big no-no! I finally just paid $60 for this pillow called a Snoogle. Have you heard of it? Well, I will say that in the four nights I have had it, it has done wonders for my sleeping and I hope that continues!
On an exciting note, I am pretty sure that I felt the baby move for the first time today and what a wonderful feeling that was!! It was on the way to work and I also felt it a few more times throughout the day! If that isn't what it is, then I don't know what is going on!
Love you!
