Well, we have made it to 21 weeks today. What a blessing.
This past week has been pretty normal. I think my energy is starting to come back now that classes are over, though I still find myself asleep at 9 pm, during my prime time shows! Good thing I have a DVR.
Jeremy has been busy getting acquainted with every inch of my belly, EVERY INCH! He gets really excited when Mommy lays down to rest after work. I mean who wouldn't want to get active as others are trying to rest, right?! I can just picture how little rest I will get when he gets here!
Let's see, as far as Mommy, no headaches to report (thank GOD). I am not sure about my weight (I don't own a scale and refuse to buy one). The good thing is that I am hungry all the time now. When I wake up, when I am about to fall asleep for the night, when it's lunch time and dinner time. He pretty much wants food all the time now. I can eat meat now, for the most part. My cravings are still few and far between. We want barbecued (grilled) chicken for dinner. That's all we can come up with for now.
All in all we are doing exceptionally well, we hope and pray. We have our next appointment next week so we shall see about the weight issue and how well Jerbear is doing in there.
Richard and I both wonder how comfortable he is in there, just seems super weird.
Listen, I am trying to find classes on how to take care of a baby. See, I know NOTHING about babies, they scare me, but you already knew that. I realized, I still have no clue as to how to change a diaper. Really, I don't. And burping and all that stuff. Hmmmm.... I am getting that overwhelmed feeling again. Let me focus on the fact that I still have 4 months to ponder all of this. My hubby is much more confident than I am, though I know he is just as clueless. He's just wanted this since FOREVER! Just pray that I don't have my son's diaper draped over his arms and head (LOL)! On a bad day, that just might happen. Just kidding, Shanika and Richard will be there, calm down.
Till next week, happy growing. Keep us in your prayers.
Love,
Jeremy's mom (hmmm I can get use to saying that now... kinda like when I would say Richard's wife). It has a ring to it.

Tasha, this is an exciting time. Yes, your belly is growing every inch daily. However, I want you to know that there is no book that can teach you how to change diapers, birp the baby, etc. AND IF IT IS, THEN THROW IT AWAY. The nurses at the hospital will be a great access to you about all of that stuff. But I must say that growing up in poverty where I had to take care of my little cousins, and I was just a child myself. I learned most of that stuff. BUT IT WAS WRONG!!!! When it comes to your child, it will be TRIAL AND ERROR! You will eventually get it. I will be around and you will have a lot of support. Know that you are not alone.
Tasha, do you look pregnant yet? I love the picture of the little one - I will say he is beautiful. You are hanging in there and you WILL do great. As you get closer to 40 weeks, take a childbirth class and a breast feeding class (the hospital or your OBGYN should offer them). They help you realize that you are not alone and give you some help with some things you were wondering. Also, watch others with little one - you will see that there is no one way to do everything - you will figure out what works for you : )
Aww congratulations, oh well you know I already knew before you "announced" it on fb. Well at least you have an excuse for eating anything you want, LOL. And after you have the baby if you wants some tips and motivation for getting back in shape then you know I'm here to help.
Love you! (OH and I know nothing about babies and equally scared about that day if/when it comes for me so I'll be following closely to see if I can learn from your learning)
Tasha, you will do great!!! Listen to Shel... she speaks the truth. One thing at a time, one step at a time.... it will become second nature! Plus, remember that your body knows what to do even if you don't think you do. You are gonna do GREAT!!!
