[stylist] Exciting news: baby on the brain

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Bernadetta,

Oh, me too! I'm all about babies as well as of late, and right now, it's
about making list after list of things to buy and do before baby comes.

At the store yesterday, Penny, who is two, kept lifting my shirt up
saying, "Baby in tummy." Depending on what I'm wearing, I don't always
look pregnant yet unless naked, but my stomach was in all it's glory
yesterday with her constantly lifting my shirt up, grin.

Ross has to also kiss my stomach good night and good-bye in the morning
even if I'm sleeping. What a dork, grin, but it's pretty cute, I must
say.

At first, I didn't have nausea at all, then towards the end of my second
month during the first trimester, it was getting progressively worse. I
didn't know how I would survive some days, though usually it was worse
at night for me. My mom said her nausea was always bad for her but
abruptly stopped once in the second trimester, but a couple of others
have told me theirs lasted much longer, and my bestfriend said hers
lasted the entire nine months. So far, it seems to have subsided. I just
hate feeling like I can't function. On really bad days, as I'm sure
others can attest too, I was down for the count all day long. Those
women who say they love being pregnant are crazy, giggle, though I'm
very happy with the impending end result.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Your welcome, Bridget,
This may be completely off topic here, but I just have to say, you're 
lucky that the nausea seems to have subsided this early in your 
pregnancy. I was nausious for six months, nonstop, almost twenty-four 
seven. Ugh. A part of me started thinking I'd never stop feeling queasy.
In any case, it's wonderful that you have such a great support system 
in your husband. It's so important to have someone to lean on during a 
pregnancy, and of course, afterwords. It's especially great when that 
someone is your significant other. I'm also lucky to have an amazing, 
supportive partner; He also talked to the baby while in utero. smile.   
so I know what you mean.
Anyway, sorry for veering totally off topic. Pregnancy and babies have 
a way of making me go off on a tangent these days. :)
