Baby Fever

Lately I’ve totally had baby fever.
It’s to the point where all I think about and see are baby related things.
Some of my girlfriends are starting to have babies and lately Matt and I have been having “baby talks.”
Me, “Can we now?!?!”
Matt, “Mandy, not yet.”
Me, “Pleeese” (lower-lip pushed out)
Matt, “If you wait, it will be worth it and you can stay home if you decide too.”
Me- point well taken my brother, point well taken.
But this, of course, hasn’t stopped me from visiting baby websites and learning about all things baby.
I’ve started the whole- “I think I’m going to start to prepare my body for a baby” process.
I read about what you should do to “prepare” yourself on this baby website.
You can also figure out when your ovulating- how gnarly? (Is it odd that I just used the word gnarly to describe the ovulation process? Hmmm, oh well).
Anyway, I‘ve basically learned that I need to cut back on my caffeine intake, Girrrrl- I got me a Diet Coke problem.
This pretty-much sounds like the worst idea ever for me, it’s like I’m some sort of soda drug addict. I really haven’t even tried yet because the headaches I’m going to endure, oy vy!
I also started to take prenatal vitamins and, let me tell you, my hair looks awesome!
Other than that I’m just keeping up with my weekly exercise routine (4-5 days at the gym- I’m lucky bc I can go to the gym at lunchtime at work).
Last Friday I went to visit my girlfriend, Brittany, who just had her second baby. (She’s got two sweet little babies at 25- go girl!)
While I was at Brittany’s house helping her, I was all, “Look at me! This is what it would be like if I had two babies.”
Brittany, “Yeaaah”
I think it’s a lot easier to pretend. Haha!
Brittany’s babies are so beautiful and sweet. They literally melt my heart.
While I was over there I even attempted to take some photos of them… “attempted” being the key word here….I'm still learning how to use my new camera. I told Brittany I would have to come back over to get more practice!
