I have a ton of worries in general about my pregnancy. I'm just a worry wort by nature. But I do have 2 of my biggest fears eating me alive!! One of course is that I'm going to bleed to death and die leaving my husband caring for our newborn on his own the rest of his life (I am high risk and I am on blood thinners so techincially this could happen but I'm just a freak thinking about it all the time - so bad that I'm worried about my "affairs' being in order before I give birth - i need a cold beer just thinking about it...)
I'm 95% sure we're going to name our baby girl Lyla. Lyla Clara Melanie (after 2 grandmas). Just thought I'd share. :)
So umm, I can feel the baby kicking and I just looked down at my stomach and I saw my stomach move. Wow, just wow! Just needed to share this with everyone! She is really going at it down there!
After much pushing from my mother, we finally started registering for baby stuff for the shower she is throwing me. This task is as daunting as picking out one pair of shoes at DSW...
Why did they have to go and commercialize baby gear? Honestly there are so many things available right now for babies/moms that you know did not exist when we were kids. DOes my kid need a wipey warmer - how posh! Does my kid need an activity mat, a bouncer chair, a bouncer seat, a swing, a pack and play, a bassinet, etc, etc etc. It's out of hand!
I'm back! i have so many stories and tales for you all but don't have the time right now..
All I had to say is I'm SO excited. The best part of my Christmas break was finally getting some dill pickle chips! THey had them at the gas station store in Canada and I got 3 bags! I'm so easy to please!
Anyways I'll be posting stories/pics on my blog soon hopefully. Right now it's winding down, laundry, cleaning, and sleepy time! Happy New Year!
My in laws are visiting from the UK on Tuesday. However they are on British Airways - who decided to strike starting on Tuesday!
My dh and I have been so stressed about them not being able to make it because booking another flight would have lost them so much money. But today we learned that the govern't won't let them strike over the holidays - yay! So they are good to go! Dh has been SO worried and disappointed by all of this so I'm glad it worked out.
i have a severe problem. i can not drive by mcdonald's without needing it. i have always hated mcdonalds! probably have been there once in the past 2 years that is until this winter. all i want to eat is a double cheeseburger, fries, and shake. it's OUT OF CONTROL!! i can not stop myself and find myself pigging out more often than necessary with this junk food. i totally hate myself for doing this to my body and my child - but honestly i think she loves it! okay this is my rant for the day.
I'm super emotional today. First of all I hate Facebook. I'm only on it for work and I never friend people - but they friend me. So that means every time I log in I see their stuff (even thought I hide 90% of it). Today I saw pictures of an old friend's wedding. I got nosey and started looking at them. By the end of it I was balling. This friend I have known since kindergarten. We were so close growing up. In high school I hung out with this huge group of friends.
It's official. My child is already a trouble maker. She is moving and kicking non stop all day long and all night long. Don't get me wrong, I love feeling it but it never ends! She is already proving to me how much trouble she's going to be. Makes me love her even more!
Must be all the pepsi I was craving last week... :)
Last night I had a rough night. Hubby and I got into an argument that I didn't think was a big deal but he though it was. Whenever this happens and he gets so upset, he starts going on about all the things that are bothering him. I hate this because he's not fighting fair and basically just lashing out on me. In the end I we made peace and all is okay but not without stress on me and and the baby and many tears shed.
GIRL!!! Yay for little girls.
The baby is very healthy and looks good. She was a bit uncooperative so we couldn't get good pictures of all her organs. But all is well. Also they are not 100% sure she's a girl because she was uncooperative so they are 95% sure :)
We'll go back in a month to get the 100% confirm and check the rest of her out.
Yippee!
I've decided that the bathroom is always too far away. I have also decided that I would like one of the following:
- Port-a-potty right next to my desk
- one of those potty training potties you can put anywhere
- or a chair that is a toilet.
i think i'd be so much more productive if that were the case considering lately i pee every hour...
I just had to write and tell you all they I finally popped out. I got dressed last night to go out and I looked down and totally looked pregnant - like it happened over night...so weird! I am down stairs and told my dh just to look. He came over and was smiling like crazy like he couldn't believe it. He took a pic (which I'll try to post). So there ya have it..the belly has arrived.
Is it normal being pregnant...
- To get totally sad and depressed all of sudden and be in tears?
- Then in the next minute be totally fine?
- To hate your husband because he's all of sudden so busy at work and doesn't have a minute to call or email you?
- To then feel guilty for hating your husband...
- To only want to eat junk food non stop and no veggies or healthy stuff?
- To get so angry at the husband for finishing the chocolate syrup when he should have known I didn't have my chocolate milk yet that day...
NO longer can I say, You snooze, you lose. Now I'm experiencing first hand: You sneeze, you pee.
Oh the joys of pregnancy.
