So far, pregnancy has meant:
* Nausea like I've never known nausea before
* Giovanni making me do squats every 2 two hours on our road trip to Utah (to prevent bloodclots)
* Only wanting to eat hard boiled eggs for a week...and then never wanting to eat hard boiled eggs again
* Being sure it was a boy...until we found out it is a girl
* Shopping for baby girl things with my mom
* Having a meltdown in the middle of Target because there are just too many strollers/cribs/baby accessories/etc for any sane person to wrap their head around
* Loving waking up at 6 o'clock every morning because I just wasn't tired anymore
* Realizing that waking up at 6 o'clock every morning was just a phase
* Trying not to be horrified that there is a person growing inside my body (Alien, anyone??)
* Finally having an excuse to be tired and moody most of the time
* Being awestruck when I felt her kick for the first time
* Watching Giovanni be awestruck when he felt her kick for the first time
* Getting over the awe and just being really annoyed when she decides to practice soccer drills the second I lay down to sleep at night
* Praying that I don't develop stretch marks in the night
* Wondering why the only place I have developed stretch marks is on the front of my left thigh
* Cleaning out the closet in baby's room to make space for all the clothes, toys, blankets, and other gifts she has been given
* Being so excited when I woke up one morning and realized that I finally look pregnant, and not just fat
* Bringing home a stroller and car seat, then pushing it around the house with a stuffed animal inside because it's just so fun
* Loving listening to Giovanni talk about how excited he is to teach her how to ride BMX/pack a backpack for a 50 mile hike/do a cartwheel/kick a soccer ball/etc/etc/etc
* Trying not to gain too much weight
* Watching her hiccup on the ultrasound
* Trying to figure out if I can handle birth without an epidural
* Experiencing chronic back pain for the first time ever
* Experiencing heartburn for the first time ever
* Forgetting to take my vitamin and hoping she's not screwed up because of it
* Being so excited to welcome her into the world sometime around December 12! (hopefully)
