If Only I Could Hibernate

August 15, 2007 - By Jen

Kayla and I read a library book before her nap today.  It was really cute.  It was about a groundhog who ate from Mr. and Mrs. O’Leary’s garden all summer long and then hibernated through the winter.  I started thinking, “wouldn’t it be cool if I could do that with pregnancy?  I could eat like crazy before becoming pregnant, and then I could hibernate through the first few months of pregnancy sickness!”  I thought it was a brilliant solution!  It sounds much easier than having to force myself to eat.  In all actuality, I am feeling a bit better these days, which puts a big smile on my face.

A couple days ago a brave woman at Meijer asked me if we’re hoping for a boy this time.  I didn’t mind, but I thought she had a lot of courage!  I think she would have been surprised to know I’m only 11 1/2 weeks along.  That was the first time a stranger asked me about the baby.  The first time it happened in my pregnancy with Madeline I was about 13 weeks.  I just can’t hide it even if I try!  This time around I had two people ask me if I was pregnant before I even knew.  And they weren’t the only ones thinking it.  When I told my friends, they admitted that they, too, had already noticed my growing abdomen.
