The past 2 weeks have revealed quite a few new aspects of being pregnant. I started having Braxton Hicks contractions to get Aiden and me ready for the big day in May. They don't hurt at all, it's just weird to be sitting there and your stomach muscles suddenly get rock hard. I think about it as a little hug from my body to Aiden. Another new experience has been swollen ankles- not exactly cute. Ha! The first time I saw this was after being on my feet all day and not drinking enough water. I freaked out! Mom simply said, "Welcome to pregnancy." It's just another lovely reminder of all the changes that take place.
Needless to say, Eric and I got all kinds of fun baby stuff. From onsies and bibs to books and pregnancy massages, it was indeed a baby-to-be Christmas. Eric wanted to be the first to buy a box of diapers for us, so he wrapped up a box of newborn diapers and wipes from Aiden to me with the most precious Christmas card. I cried of course! Ha!
It was so good to have my family and friends so excited about our little bundle of love. He will be totally surrounded by people who adore him and would do anything in the world for him. That is the best feeling ever.
