It’s actually driving me crazy that nothing is getting under my skin right now! 🙂

On a different note, regarding the whole belly thing... I haven't hit that stage yet, but once things start showing, I honestly hope I'll feel the urge to grab my stomach. Honestly, I'm already ready to reach out and give those same people a little poke on their stomachs too. I am soooo curious to see how they'd react! 😛

I don't doubt that scenario for a second. Honestly, whenever I have even a minor headache, they immediately volunteer to come over and babysit him for a week. This might sound totally irrational, but since we live in different cities, I can't shake this terrifying thought that my 13-month-old will end up spending a few nights at his grandparents' house while my husband and I stay home alone for no reason at all. I'd much rather wait until the early pregnancy symptoms pass so I can just shut them down and tell them I'm perfectly happy with just the three of us (soon to be four). Whoops...

Don't even mention it yet. Just wait until you hit that three-month mark...
Personally, I know we’re going to keep quiet until we absolutely have to—basically once the bump starts showing. But I am genuinely curious about how my mother-in-law will react. I bet her first question will be, "Already? You guys are so young, you should have enjoyed being alone longer!" 🤮 But we worked so hard for this, and we wanted this baby more than anything. So, I don't want to deal with unnecessary stress during these first three months, which is why I'm staying silent! 🙂

I’m actually getting a little frustrated with myself because I’m not even two months along yet, and I’ve already put on two pounds! 😲 Usually, you're supposed to lose weight during the first trimester because of the nausea... but that's my problem. Even though I feel nauseous, I can't seem to stop snacking just to keep from throwing up constantly. And look where that's getting me. Now I'm just hungry all the time! 🙂
