procrastinator Ü

So, it has been a few weeks since I last wrote... Lets face it- Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a BIG procrastinator! BUT in my own defense- I have been busy doing other things. Thanksgiving was AWESOME!! Except for the fact that the hubz had a final and lots of homework to do- so while I was spending time with family in Mississippi, he was home hitting the books! I did miss him... as always- but it was nice getting away! That trip also entitled me to my first trip into New Orleans! Which was a ton of fun... very different- I kind of felt like I was in New York only packed into about 5 blocks! INTERESTING... So, since then... we have gotten a few more things done around the house- Cleaned out the "MAN CAVE", also cleaned up Lily's room- got the kitchen painted!!, and we also went and got our Christmas tree! So, I have just been enjoying it! 

Now were coming up on week 28! Which is officially the 3rd trimester! Is anyone else like WOW?? Where has this pregnancy gone?? It seems like since I hit week 20 time is just FLYING by!! I'm getting very excited about the upcoming weeks! Minus next weeks doctor's visit! I have to do the glucose test... yep, the one where they make you drink a big cup of like some kind of orange or fruit punch flavored sugar drink and then take your blood to check for gestational diabetes. I'm a little nervous- mostly b.c my mom had it when she was pregnant with me and also b.c I have had a BIG sweet tooth since about week 12!! LOL But besides that, Christmas is just around the corner- Then New Years!! and January 30th is set in stone now for the Baby Shower!! Soooo... excited!! I just can't believe that in about 3 months I will have a little baby girl in my house!! That will stay... LOL! I can't wait to meet her! 

So, lets see symptoms the past couple weeks... I have been getting pretty bad leg and butt cramps! WEIRD, I know- but no fun!! She is still moving around ALL the time- my little busy bee!! Starting to notice more of a pattern in the times and how active through out the day she is. It's really fun! I have been starting to sleep more... back to taking naps a few times a week- and also sleeping in later that usual. Night time is more difficult- now that I have a bigger belly- I can't move around or get as comfortable as easily. I wake up sometimes covered in sweat! but I don't feel HOT- I hope that's ok... if anyone thinks that its not normal then let me know so I can talk to the doctor about it. Shaving SUCKS!! I just want to get it all permanently removed so I wont have to worry about it! =) lol- I think that's really it... oh yea, i don't know if I have already mentioned it but I have some REALLY crazy dreams!! Almost every night. On another note Cravings-Gotta love this part of pregnancy- FOOD!!! CHOCOLATE!! Love, Twix, mini Reese's, and some warm chocolate chip cookies- all accompanied with a cold glass of milk! GOSH, my mouth is watering just thinking about it! I also have been craving green beans, cheeseburgers, and Ham!  YUMMY!!! Thank goodness I still have Christmas food coming up!! Ü Until Next Time!! <3

 

24 weeks FINALLY!

Ok so now I'm 24 weeks... and a few days- a little late on this blog BUT here is it. Not too many NEW things going on. She is moving around ALL the time- in-fact the other night she kicked her daddy's hand about 30+times- which has NEVER happened. Normally when someone tries to feel her kicking she stops moving completely until they give up and shes right back to kicking and punching me! =) I love love love being able to feel her move around... its one of the most amazing feelings i have ever felt. Sometimes she will kick me out of the blue REALLY hard and I will jump about 5feet in the air. MY LITTLE PRANKSTER! <3 I def. think that my belly is rounding out... still feel like i look more FAT than pregnant. <--- BUT my mother-in-law took me shopping the other day to get TONS of new clothes JUST FOR ME!! which was AWESOME!! Its nice to finally have clothes that don't look like they came from the limited too!! LOL But anyway... speaking of "BIG"- I went to the doctor last week. Actually, I don't think i have mentioned this at all but I didn't really like the doctor that I had. She was nice and all, just didn't really seem interested in taking time to talk with me at each visit. SO, i have a new doctor lady now that i LOVE!! she is so sweet- and makes me feel like I am the ONLY prego. on the planet! =) So, i went to the doc- i have ONLY gained 11 lbs. thru 24weeks of pregnancy. Which the doctor says is GREAT! I head her little heart beat again... in the 130s and sounded so good! It didn't take her but a few seconds to find it either... which is always good! I also reluctantly got the H1N1 shot... it made me a little nauseous about an hour after-wards but now i'm feeling GREAT and i don't have to worry about that CRAZY SWINE FLU!! I go back in 4weeks to take the glucose test and find out if i have gestational diabetes... my mom had it with me so i'm a little nervous but hopefully i will get great results on that. Hmmmm.... I think that's about it- not really having any cravings lately,... still have indigestion- BUT i got zantak from the doc and that is helping ALOT. i'm supposed to take it 2 times a day but i decided to just take it when i need it. Thanksgiving is just around the corner.. actually 2 days from now!! i'm so excited... we already celebrated an early thanksgiving with my dad's side of the family last weekend in Alabama. That was GREAT- love being able to see them all and EAT that yummy food! Tomorrow I'm taking off with my mom to Mississippi- for thanksgiving there. Unfortunately the hubs has to stay home... work and school!! so i will be missing him but i cant wait to eat eat eat!! =) Until next time... <3
