Gender: BOY!
Feeling: I'm feeling great! At the beginning of month 5 Greg and I went on our "babymoon." We cruised the Caribbean and had a great time. It was both exciting and sad to know this would be our last vacation just the two of us for awhile. While at the ports we did a LOT of walking. I experienced my first swollen ankles. I never let Greg touch my feet, but it was a must this week. I'm also noticing that I'm getting tired more easily and that water is a necessity throughout the day.
Maternity Clothes: still love them! When you are pregnant you get to call them your "fat clothes." If you aren't pregnant they are "maternity clothes."
Food Cravings: I have yet to send Greg off on a midnight run, I think I might have to try that soon just for fun. I'm still eating 2-3 pineapples a week, I can't get enough!
Food Aversions: I'm beginning to eat a little chicken here and there. As long as I don't see it raw I'm good. Maybe one day I'll be able to cook it again. We will see.
Sleep: Sleeping great! I really wanted to buy a body pillow because they just look so comfortable. Once I found out they were $60+ I decided I'll stick with my 72 pound dog as a body pillow instead.
Miss Anything: With the warmer weather I would love an ice cold beer to enjoy on my porch. On the crusie I was missing seafood and cheese! I ate some seafood but I didn't want to go too crazy.
Best Moments:
- On Thursday, March 28th, we felt him kick for the first time. I was at work complaining to my coworkers about how I was 20 weeks and still haven't felt him kick. That night I went home and felt a flutter. Someone at work explained it as an eye twitch and thats exactly what it felt like. Greg was home and I put his hand on my stomach and he was able to feel him too. I instantly felt so much relief because I knew my baby was okay and thriving inside. I also felt instant love, he was no longer just a picture on a screen.
- Another awesome moment this month was of course our Babymoon! It was a perfect way to relax and get away from work, cell phones, and the TV.
- At the very end of month 5 (April 19th to be exact) we named our son, Liam Gregory Donohue.
Looking Forward to: NURSERY, NURSERY, NURSERY - - - painting, buying furniture, organizing everything, etc. This has been on my mental to do list for so long, but it really needs to be started in month 6!
