My only problem is that I think I'm just my worst critic, because I suddenly feel like looking at all the neat, professional looking baby books people have created, makes me feel so untalented and un-creative, when I have never thought this to be the case before. I am suddenly realizing I am not a photographer, I don't know how to use all these crazy programs to create the books, and I just have no cute theme ideas!
I do know a lot about Illustrator and Photoshop, but I'm realizing that for most of the sites that print the books, that's not how you make the pages... hmm... so, I'm going to have to think a little more about this whole thing, and stop doubting myself, because I know I can do just as good of a job as the people that basically do this type of thing for a living. I can do it for my baby!
Plus, I need to invest in a new camera- mine has been missing for a few years now. Dom and I wanted to buy one anyways, because he is really keen on making a short video or movie for the baby about us, where we are talking to him or her, and telling them about us- just as a reminder to the future us or future baby that we were cool at one time! (Just in case we fall into that un-cool parent trap).
Food for thought!
Meanwhile, I finally have a little bump! Some days it really looks big, and some days not so much, so it might just be dependent on what I ate the night before, or whatever. But I like when people tell me it is indeed a baby that'e in there- not just caf food! Ick!
16 Weeks!
I wish I had a camera, and someone to take those cute belly pictures of me, where I'm wearing the same thing every week, so I can put them in the future baby book... But... This isn't possible. Maybe I can figure something out, because it would make a really cute page in the beginning of the book where I can talk about before baby is born. Hmph! I hate being in college for this... I'd love more than anything to just be home with my family!
This past weekend I did get to go home, though, and spend some much needed time with them, and Dom. It was really a wonderful weekend. I didn't leave my house except to go pick something out for dinner Saturday night! It was glorious! Dom and I talked about the baby more, and he was so sweet to me all weekend. He practically waited on me hand and foot, rubbing my belly and my feet, and he did my makeup for me both Saturday and Sunday mornings (he-he). And we gave each other manicures! He's gonna be a great daddy even if it is a girl!
My next appointment is tomorrow afternoon, at which I get to make an appointment to find out what baby Sedlak is! I'm dying to know if my inklings are correct! I'm really hoping they will agree to try next Friday, on my eighteen week mark, so I don't have to wait until after spring break to find out! I really want to be able to go shopping and buy something either boy-ish or girl-ish! But, I have a feeling they're going to make me wait..
That's all for now!
