Mamademics: Bella Rose the Mother

In order to better introduce myself to everyone, I’ve decided to do a few short posts that represent the different categories you will see on Mamademics.

Quick Pregnancy Survey

How far along are you? I am 32 weeks pregnant, so I have 5 more weeks before I’m considered full term and 8 more weeks until my due date.

What are you having? I’m having a bouncing baby boy :) For the purposes of this blog, he will be Baby S or Sesame… until we come up with more nicknames lol.

How are you feeling? It really depends on the day, but lately I’ve gone from excited to scared to exhausted. The third trimester is a lot like the first trimester, but with a much bigger stomach.

What’s your baby like so far? Sesame is VERY active. I’m convinced that he’s practicing kickboxing, swimming, and soccer all at once. I can tell he’s growing a lot more now, because not only can I feel the difference on the inside, but he sticks out body parts and you can see him on the outside. He also responds to his dad’s voice and seems to be a fan of Jay Z and Kanye West.

What are you plans for delivery? I am having a hospital birth, but I plan to go au naturale. Yes, I’m scared to death of the pain, but I’m more afraid to be forced to remain in a bed while I wait for him to decide he’s ready to make his entrance.

Breastfeeding or formula? Breastfeeding… as long as there is nothing that prevents me from breastfeeding and my son is getting enough nutrients this is my plan.

Disposable or cloth diapers? Cloth diapers… I’m thinking we’re going with one size and we’re still deciding between Bum Genius and Fuzzibunz, so if you have any expertise in this area let me know.

Letter to my Unborn Son!

Some of you may have seen this post on the Celeb Mommy a few months ago, so bear with me as I try to bring my new readers up to speed on Bella Rose.

I wrote this letter during my first trimester before we had shared the pregnancy with a lot of people. I wanted to write him more letters, but I have not been able to brave the tears and emotions that this first letter took out of me. I do plan to write him more in the coming weeks and once he’s here.

I hope you all enjoy…

Dear Baby S:

On Saturday, July 16, 2011, I took 5 pregnancy tests and discovered you were on the horizon. On Thursday, August 11, 2011, I heard your heartbeat for the first time. Every since that day I have been trying to write this first letter to you. There are truly no words to express how happy your father and I are about your impending arrival. We both love you so much already and you are only the size of a grape :) .

Right now…
I hope that you are safe inside my womb. I hope that you will be healthy and there will be no complications. I hope that I can be strong and have a stress free pregnancy, so that you are healthy. I hope that you let me eat fried chicken and cheeseburgers without puking… oh and french fries. Mommy loves french fries!!!

In the future…
I hope that I will be a wonderful mom, and that you are never disappointed in me. I hope that you we will never go to bed angry at one another. I hope that you will always remember that you are loved and that both of your parents will move heaven and earth for your happiness.

Right now and in the future…
I promise to always be there for you. I promise to always listen even when I don’t agree. I promise to raise you in a home full of love and peace. I promise to always be there when you fall, but to back off when you need me too. I promise to love you no matter what, you are already everything I have ever dreamed of and more than I could ever imagine.

Love Always,
Your Mommy
