Moving in slow motion

Hello everyone!

Now that pregnancy has slowly become a realization for me I feel like it is not moving at all. The new due date ain't helping either. As of today, I approximately have 116 days left of pregnancy. Boy am I ready for it to be over. I really can't wait to see her face, and have her meet my whole family; to see how great everyone is lol. But, I know I have to be patient, and time will come when I will be wishing she was still in my belly lol. I have realized we have a night owl. She doest really move during the day, but as soon as 10:00 PM hits she is playing dance dance revolution in there.

Nothing new this week. A couple of people at my job witnessed my tummy moving a little bit, so its nice that you can see her move from the outside. Its crazy but, but she moves it makes me feel like "ok she is still alive in there" lol. You sort of feel like a  fish bowl, and the fish happens to hit  the glass, but now, she is not holding back on the love taps. I have been drinking a lot of water lately, too. Sometimes it feels like I am on the brink of dehydration if I haven't had my 3 bottles before lunch. Fruit has been extremely expensive this week at he grocery store, so I haven't been ale to stock up like I used too. The other day they had cherries for $2.99 a pound. THAT IS CRAZY!!! I have been keeping bananas in the house and eating them with bran cereal in the morning or making peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Yummie :-)

I do meet with my midwife this week, so I will be able to ask some questions that I have and hear my beautiful baby's heart beat. I do have a stethoscope and can hear her very faintly, but it is always nice to hear the doctor and nurse to say "you baby sounds great!" I am nervous about weight gain from my last visit. I am not going to lie, I have been eating like a competitive eating for the past couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, I have been eating healthy like vegan tacos, salads, soy milk, water, baked potatoes; but I have doubled some portions lol. I haven't purchased any maternity clothes yet (even though my mother-in-law keeps hounding me). I have been wearing a lot of dresses and just plain tee-shirts in 5 different colors lol. I try to dress them up with a necklace and cute sandals. I know I haven't posted a picture of me in a while, so I decided to take one the other day.

I do have to give a shout out to my amazing friends that have sent me old clothes from their little girls to use. It is definitely hard to buy so much stuff, but my friends and family have helped so much!! So shout out to Chelsea and Sarah, you girls are amazing and I can't thank you enough for your help!! I do believe in karma, so I hope to be able to help someone as well.

I have also decided to make a homemade crib mobile. This one is just going to hang over my changing table, but the other 2 will hang over the crib with family photos and shapes hanging from it.
I know it looks like a head of lettuce, but I think its a unique touch to my small abode. I am still not very nesty lol, but because I know I tend to procrastinate, I will be probably one of those people that clean at the very last minute lol. I do like to but things and make list, but cleaning ugh is not as fun lol. I do keep my apartment descent, but I guess it could always be cleaner.

 

I will let everyone know how my next visit goes.
See ya soon
