As another college football season comes to an end...and the SEC again wins a national title leaving the rest of the college football conferences to wonder just what it is that makes them so hard to be and beat...i thought i would reflect on just how much different our lives will be in the next year.
Its a "game" that I find us playing often - me more than Mike, and he tends to make fun of me because I find a way to weave it into as many conversations as possible but when you actually stop to think about it - its kind of wild and crazy.
the next time we sit down to watch college football - we will have a baby...a little person who depends on us for food, shelter, love and affection. On January 11, football season seems like an eternity away - but in all reality, its not and it will be here sooner than we think.
and yes...the cockeye will (hopefully) be hanging out with daddy watching the Gamecocks and the Buckeyes play every Saturday rocking his/her baby buckeye's or baby gamecocks gear...we were joking that we need to make a Baby Divided onesey for the little cockeye to wear in the event the Buckeyes and Gamecocks are playing at the same time.
What a crazy concept...the next time we plan/can spend Saturday's watching college football, might not even be spent watching college football - pretty sure regardless of what mommy and daddy want...there will be someone else in charge at that point in time...and who knows if he/she will want to sit and watch football - my guess is going to be not so much.
On an unrelated note...
the midwife appointment went well yesterday, I am healthy, the baby sounds healthy and we got to hear the heart beat - which was pretty cool. Cockeye's heart was beating at about 150 beats per minute which is totally normal.
Our midwife gave me a few stretches to try to help my back pain and also the name of a good yoga studio that should help as well.
She also told me that I have only gained one pound in my pregnancy - although i know that is not the case...I started off this little journey at 185 (up about five pounds from the wedding) and am now at 195...I need to make an active effort to eat well and stay moving so that i can limit the amount of weight that i gain - I want to keep it around 20 - 25 pounds. But in the time that we have been going to UNM and seeing our midwife - i have only gained one pound...which is not terrible.
I am making an active effort to drink more water - i felt like i wasn't drinking enough so i went out and bought a Smart Water bottle that is 33oz and make it a goal to fill it up three - four times a day to make sure i am getting enough water and staying hydrated - i have a friend that ended up in the hospital with complications due to being dehydrated - something i would like to avoid.
our due date is actually July 6, 2011 - so that makes me 14 weeks and 6 days pregnant...i guess every one's baby develops along the same lines in the first few months - so if that is what the ultrasound says - than that is what we are going with - per the midwife. 15 weeks starts tomorrow and the cockeye will be the size of an orange!
Rissy Roo comes in a few days...I couldn't be more excited - I can't wait to spend a few solid days with one of my favorite people ever in life!
Happy Tuesday friends and family - we love you very much!
