I am feeling very pregnant right now.

I swear my belly is stretched to the max and I am not sure it will expand anymore.  My skin is so tight and itches so much and the fact that I feel like my kid is trying to break free through my belly makes me extremely uncomfortable today.  I can’t seem to get comfortable [...]

inside my thoughts

I went to lunch today with my friend Laura and I was telling her how much I love maternity pants.  She laughed but seriously, they are fantastic.  I love them so much that I think I will have a very hard time going back to normal pants–the kind with zippers and buttons and heaven forbid [...]

to the streets!

Most of you know that I have a secret passion for mindless movies, whether it be chick flicks or disney movies.  Well, I fulfilled my need for a mindless movie this week–I went and saw Step Up 2–the streets, and I loved it!  It was one of those movies where you can’t help but laugh at certain points [...]

A huge sigh of relief

We had the ultrasound today and everything is fine!  Whohoo!!  The white spot on the heart is gone and the doctor told us that our baby does not have a heart defect.  He said that the baby is actually big and is measuring 32 weeks instead of 30 weeks.  This makes us happy since a single [...]

Sonogram #4

We have an appointment for a sonogram tomorrow.  Apparently, this something that will be occurring every month from now on to check baby j’s growth, since the single vessel umbilical cord could mean a much smaller than average baby.  Also tomorrow we will find out more information about the white spot on the heart.  Hopefully it [...]

Wii got it

Yes–we got a Wii (thanks to Theresa).  I was unsuccessful at finding one but my friend found one at Costco and hooked me up!  Whoohoo.

Full fun weekend!

So as mentioned previously, we have been watching Mason and Payton all weekend.  It has actually been pretty easy.  The kids have pretty much been ideal kids this weekend–they napped, they ate, they slept through the night, they brushed their teeth and it actually has not been that bad getting Mason to let me put [...]

Happy Valentines Day!

What is in store for us???  Well, we are babysitting my nephew and niece until Sunday because Kyle and Bethany have decided to go on a vacation to the Dominican Republic.  If only I could go on a vacation…must be nice   The only vacation that I can take would require driving in a car [...]

how bad is it really???

Diet soda.  I know that pregnant people should not drink diet soda or things that have phenylalanine in them, but really how bad is it?  I gave up drinking soda almost a year ago and I drank a lot of crystal lite and green tea instead.  But since green tea is bad for pregnant people because [...]

Hiccups

Yesterday I noticed that it felt like baby j was playing the base in a rock concert.  There was a constant thumping in my uterus every 2 seconds.  But I found out that these are hiccups.  Such a funny feeling, but I feel so bad for him!  I hate having hiccups, I can’t even imagine [...]
