I just have to say that I cannot get over the fact that in six months time I'm going to be a mom. There is this little person growing inside of me and I'm going to be responsible for its well being. (Actually, I already am responsible for its well being, but you know what I mean...) It really is amazing.

Mr. Cob was reading me his Dad-to-be pregnancy book last night about the fourth month of pregnancy. Apparently this is the time that mood swings and emotions kick in to high gear. Oh joy. I am finding myself crying at the drop of a dime - any mothers day commercial has me nearly sobbing...especially the Hallmark one where the daughter just becomes a mom herself and sends her mom a card that says something like "from one mom to another." I'm starting to cry right now just thinking about it. Publix commercials also trigger the tears. And I was a mess during Army Wives last night. I should probably avoid the TV in general.

I did buy a whole new wardrobe this weekend - well, the bare bones of a maternity wardrobe. It was fun to buy a whole bunch of clothes at once. So far I’m handling the weight gain gracefully and finding myself in awe every time I step on the scale (which is not often, don’t worry, I’m not crazy). The numbers are just creeping up and it’s great. I know its for a good reason and is necessary. I do feel as though I just look like I have this beer gut right now, rather than a baby bump, so I’m actually looking forward to “popping” and looking obviously pregnant. My nails are growing like crazy and my hair is feeling more on the thick side.  I still don't quite have the "glow" you hear so many people talking about when refering to pregnant women.  Instead I'm struck with more breakouts than usual, which is frustrating since you can't really use any strong products to combat the problem.  Not sure it'd help since everythings due to my crazy hormones.  All in all, I'm enjoying pregnancy so far.  Aside from the no martini thing - I'm still not over that :)
