Today is 14 Weeks

Earlier today we posted our blog that I wrote when Beth was only 6.5 weeks pregnant. Of course at that time we only told a few family members and friends. But now we are in the 14th week and can't believe that we are going to be parents. It has been Beth and I for so long and now a 3rd member of the family will be here. It will be interesting. People acting like they care about us but really only care about the baby. We know how it is....we were those people once. Visiting friends to see how they are, but really our intentions are to visit the new member of the family. But it's alright though we will love having visitors!

Two weeks ago we went to shopping for maternity clothes and ended up purchasing the crib and changing table. Both are made by Stokke and will last for a good 10 years or our money back. That's how much Stokke believes in their product. The crib can later convert into a bed for an 8 year old child!! Check out their website - http://www.stokke.com/en-gb/nursery/stokke-sleepi-bed.aspx?_s_icmp=s12cB948 The changing table changes into a desk when the child has grown out of the need to be changed. I saw these products in the store and wanted to have them. So wifey let me!!! Now I am trying to research the best stroller. This is doing my head in considering there are soooo many out there. I don't even know where to begin.

Beth has slowly been doing better. Since she is in her 2nd trimester, we hoped that the nauseated feeling would go away. Unfortunately, it is still here. She has good days and bad days, but at least we are now able to leave the flat for a bit. I just worry about her as I know that she feels like total crap and there's not a whole lot that I can do for her.The nice thing about it is that we are eating alot and have an excuse to go to the pub. Seems that chips (french fries) and a coke from the pub are the only remedies for her upset stomach!!! That's just a solid excuse for me to get a bit of some alcohol!!! It's a win-win situation for everyone. I just don't want my baby addicted to french fries when it gets older. Oh, wait I forgot...there's McDonald's. I am telling you now, that our kid will NOT be allowed to eat at McDonald's. I will just have to sneak it or sit in my car in a parking lot and stuff my face so there is no evidence that I went to McDonald's. Anyways, as long as Beth has found something that makes her feel better then that's what's important to me.

At our 12 week scan, it hit us a bit that we are really having a kid. We were able to hear the heartbeat and see the baby kick like a maniac!!!! The baby wasn't moving around at first but the sonographer was able hit a good spot for us to see lil Mofrow kick. We are just anxious for the 20 week scan as they will be able to tell us if it is a boy or a girl. However, we have been told that the sonographer will not try to get the baby at the right angle for us to know. If the baby is not in the right spot for our appointment, we will not find out that day. But we are thinking about taking up the offers on Groupon and doing a 4D scan and finding out the sex if we don't already know. It does seem a bit creepy though, right.

Do we have names?? Yes we have names but we can't decide on one. We're two women! We can barely decide what we are going to eat for dinner!!!! We will probably take the advice of going into it with two names. Now I am starting to get nervous. I am going to be a mom. Wow!! My life couldn't be more perfect.
