pregnancy feelings

I feel a little nauseous this morning, and I have headaches daily. Evening brings in the chest pain, or stomach cramps, or a great desire for some sleep. However: I did sleep all the way through the night tonight! Granted, I didn't fall asleep until after midnight, but still. I'm trying to keep a good attitude about this, I'm going to enjoy being pregnant. Even when none of my pants fit, my ankles are triple the normal size, and my belly is HUGE. This is a blessing, and I refuse to treat it as anything but.

Matt and I have picked out names, a nursery set, and made some pretty big choices. Breast feeding and disposable diapers are just a couple on that list. The pacifier thing is bothering me though... I have a mom telling me that there's no need for them, just use classical music and calm the baby down. But I've only taken care of babies with a binky! I'll do some more research today and try to man up enough to decide. I can just imagine how hard it will be for my parents and siblings to take care of a baby without a pacifier.

I can't decide on a stroller either. I want to use Graco, and I want a travel system. But beyond that... there's so many options! I'm also calling WIC today, because we're military we qualify. :) That will help out SO much. I'm also learning where to cut back; what not to buy for the baby. People tell me they hardly use their changing tables or infant baths. Crazy! I never knew... I would have bought both of those. Ok, so I'm probably still going to buy a changing table because I found one I LOVE that will store all of the changing-table needs. I'm going now...
