My uterus has grown twice in size since the beginning of my pregnancy, so it's common for one's stomach to appear larger. I think this will be the only time in life when I will be excited to gain weight! I better enjoy it now!
In my attempt to listen to my body and really take care of myself, I have been making meditation and finding the baby's heartbeat through the placenta an evening routine. Both activities calm and reassure me.
Aside from taking care of myself, my husband and I are struggling with another big decision - whether to still follow through with our plans to get a Pug puppy this fall about four months before the baby arrives. To Pug or not to Pug? That is the question.
My heart, of course, still very much wants the puppy. My head is terrified that we will be in over our heads with two young ones at the same time. Will this be too much? Will we be in over our heads? Will we regret getting the dog? Will we be able to give the puppy enough attention to the baby? Will the situation be fair to the puppy and baby? Ah, the questions about the unknown abound.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and perspectives!
I also attempted to take a seven week belly shot selfie last night. Here it is:
