We opted to take the Harmony genetics test, which will give us important information about our little one's chromosomes, including whether or not there's a Y chromosome (little boy) or not (little girl). We should find out the results next week!
Our centering meeting focused on common and uncommon pregnancy symptoms. My symptoms are limited compared to some of the problems discussed by other September moms in our meeting. These included leg cramps, lower back pain, headaches and pimples in very strange places...none of which have been concerns of mine...YET! :)
I'm feeling pretty good! My jeans continue to get tighter and tighter and the belly band that my uncle and soon-to-be aunt gave me is coming in handy. Not having to zip or button my jeans is a game changer!
I've decided to stick with my PALS Aide job at Clymore next fall, which is a decision that has been weighing heavily on me. It's what's best for me and my growing family. I'm getting excited for "baby shower season" and our trip to the beach this summer. We have a lot to look forward to, but the most exciting thing of all is the arrival of our little one!
We are preparing slowly, but surely, for him or her to join our family. We found an amazing deal at Target, thanks to Matt's discount and the Cartwheel app, where we bought our little one's high chair, stroller, Pack-n-Play, car seat and swing. Matt's side of the family is gifting these items to us for the baby shower and we couldn't be more grateful! It's killing me not to open and put them together, but I don't want them to collect dust over the next few months. :)
I will keep you posted on the sex of our little one, but not before (hopefully) surprising our families with the news at Easter. My fingers are crossed that we'll receive our results this week!
4 months down, 5 months to go! <3
XoXo
