Yoga

Last night I attended my first Pre Natal yoga class at Haramonymama. I was excited to have 2 hours of relaxation and meeting other moms-to-be. I thought this would be a cinch, as I attended pre natal yoga with Nadien when she was pregnant, and it was pretty fun and low key.

I, of course, was wrong. I do not know if it was different because I am now the pregnant one, or if this place is just a little more "hardcore". Yoga was hard, I worked hard, I was sweating, and when I got home I was sore. It was good sore, we did a lot of stretching, that I defiantly needed, and the meditation (nap time) at the end was great.

I met some new Friends, we talked about our woes, and in the end wished each other a good week, hoping to see one another next Monday. I will surely be there. Although, this time, I will know it will not be 2 hours of relaxation, but some much needed work and hopefully some calm.

Namaste

15 Weeks

15 weeks- Baby Beier is doing great, and loves frozen waffles, sweettarts and In and Out Burger. Not great nutrition, but it is better then nothing. Although I have not gained any weight, I'm sure this diet accounts for the 17cm uterus at 15 weeks.

 Mama Beier is hoping her tiredness and food aversions will quickly be a things of the past. Today via IM I shared my moodiness with Keith.
Keith responded with a lovely haiku:

calm, be so happy
in just twenty-four weeks
constantly awake

 
 Sigh...

Finger in Hand

Alyssa, Charlie and I have been trying to walk twice a week. Every time I arrive at the Wagner's house, Charlie acts as if I am going to torture him, this has given me a complex, and I have come to terms with the fact that Charlie "hates" me.  BUT, very recently, every once in a while, that little monkey will send me a glimmer of hope that one day he will love me. Sometimes during our walks he will reach out and want to hold my hand. I realize this is silly, however, I totally eat it up! I will take whatever love I can get from that kid!

Dear  Full Panel Maternity Jeans,



I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

Love, Me

Crib!

OH MY GOD! I am having a baby!
Today I bought my baby a crib!
I knew I did not want to spend a lot of money a crib, the most important thing to me was that the crib matched the other furniture already in the room.  I browsed several stores and thought "Oh, we have plenty of time." But, today as I was shopping instead of working I found a crib at Pottery Barn on SALE (50% off), in the right color. So...I sent the link to Keith and the decision was made. Our baby's crib is on its way!

Here it is...not in the right color, but, you get the idea.

I am really trying to be realistic about the all the crap you need when having a baby, and there is ONE thing I really want to splurge on. I want the Pottery Barn Glider (the big butt one). I figure it will be my only "out of control. do I really need this purchase?" so, I am going for it!

12 weeks!

Baby Beier is 12 weeks 3 days today! Yesterday was her "special" ultrasound to see if  she has any genetic disorders or anything that may trigger a red flag. (Everything is perfect!)  At first she was all smiles, she wanted to look and wave for the camera (she just loves attention- wonder where she gets that from), so I had to leave my appointment and spend in hour walking around the building in hopes that when I went back upstairs she would give us a rump shot.  On our second try we barley got a few shots of the back of her neck (the spot needed pictures of), but I loved seeing her wave and sucking her thumb!

She is a whopping 2 inches long! She also hates chocolate (except for in milk), ribs, burritos, and salad with any kind of dressing. She LOVES chocolate milk, orange juice and cold cheese! Second trimester here we come...

I am not posting ultrasound pictures because they are very hard to see. But she is in there!

It's Official...

Today was our 10.5 week check up. Baby Beier has quite the jig. She was dancing around  on the ultrasound showing off her new limbs! I wonder where she gets all that energy...I could sure use some jigging energy.

I also made our official "We're Expecting" announcement on Facebook. Keith was not a big fan of this idea, but it kind of make me feel like it was real and REALLY going to happen!

Here is the cute picture I used to make our announcement... Hehe     WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!
