This weekend we went camping with Scott's company up at Deception Pass and it was beautiful. I love camping, but I think it is safe to say that I am all camped out as of now. We have been out of town for the last 3 weekends in a row, and every single weekend has included a bon-fire and lots of sun. Unfortunately, I am not able to enjoy the sun like I did pre-pregnancy, I think mostly due to hormones. Instead of getting a nice tan, I burn and get a headache... not fun!
I've started to feel better and better this week, less getting sick, and less headaches. However, I still seem to be exhausted all the time. I have also noticed that my brain isn't functioning very well lately. A friend at work told me that there is actually a term that people call this during pregnancy, it's called "pregnancy brain." Maybe it's because I'm always tired, or that I have so much on my mind, or maybe it's just all of the crazy hormones. Whatever it is, it's made me feel a little loopy all week.
Scott and I have made it a point lately to go on a walk almost every night. I'm hoping that this little form of exercise will keep me in somewhat of shape throughout my pregnancy. For some reason I have this fear of gaining 1 million pounds because all I seem to crave are carbs and baked goods. At this point I'm mostly in my smaller maternity pants and cramming myself into my regular work pants with the help of a Bee Band. Really, I don't feel like any of my clothes are looking good on me these days, I'm excited for my gut to turn more into a baby belly.
Here is my weekly snapshot... things are starting to grow...
We are just starting to look into child care, and finding it a bit overwhelming. There are so many decisions, and all of them seem to be so expensive. Luckily we have time to find a place, or person that will be great, it's just such a big decision.
