Pedicure

Maybe the baby is a girl. She likes pedicures. Kickin and jumping away. :-)


I have hobbit feet.

Es bueno

Got a call from my doc this morning and all the bloodwork I had done the day of the sonogram came back good. Nothing to worry about. :)

I have been reading a few blogs that are similar to mine and liked a few things they share. I'll start doing weekly updates but here's a few things that happened over the weekend...

Craving: thousand island dressing - on everything. I dip pizza in it even. Lol

Milestone: I was buying a chocolate with the girls at kilwins on Saturday night and a lady turned to me and said "is that for the baby?" :-) yay I look pregnant and not just fatty!

Movement: I had been feeling flutters but they're getting a little stronger now. Friday we were driving and I said F@€&! and got a kick real strong! Lol Its not consistent yet though. I can't wait for that.

Oops: at Nichole's fashion show on thursday night, they were serving food, and I ate a mini taco which tasted amazing. I later realized it was made with sushi tuna. It was so yum though!! ;)

I feel great though! I have nothing to complain about at all. I just pray the next half goes well!

He's getting so big!

Crazy

Nichole and I wanted to play in the sunshine because it was so beautiful on saturday afternoon! So we put our suits on and went to her pool.





There's the belly. :)

We really had a crazy weekend, but I think the highlight was the saving of the fish...

Trying to corner him:

Running to free him:

You can kind of see him at the bottom of the hamper. He's on his side.





I don't think I've laughed that hard in a while. Turns out some bad kids caught him and thought it would be fun to throw him in the pool. We felt like we did a good deed after we saved him. :-)

The rest of the weekend i won't even get into. Lots of food and lots of talking with my girls. I really miss them and was glad to spend time with them.

Good news is my apetite is coming back and I don't have any aversions and don't think I'll be throwing up anymore. Yay! Pickles and ice cream here I come! Lol

the new look doesn't mean anything

I changed the look of the blog but all the kids backgrounds weren't so fun, except this one. :-) I liked it. Even though it is kinda boyish... We still don't know what the baby is but I have a habbit of saying HE. We shall see... I might have to change it to the barbie background afterall... and that might kill me (only because I hate barbie...when I was little, I climbed trees and hung lizards from my ears like earings... no barbies for me thank you). LOL :P

Heard you little jelly!!

Yesterday we had our checkup and we finally heard our little munchkin. It was unreal! I heard that it sounded like galloping horses and it literally did! Reallllllly fast. Everything is going good. I thank God. We seem to be having a really healthy pregnancy. Please let it continue :)


Gee brushed up on his parenting skills in the office waiting room. (he looks scary in that photo. I don't like it. Lol)

After, we went down to faith farm to price La Z Boy recliners. I want one of those instead of a glider. They were pretty reasonable there.

Then we went to our friend Nichole's fashion show. She looked so amazing!!! And did SUCH a good job!!


She could have been a real model. (the photo makes her look like she has wings!) It was awesome hanging out with everyone and supporting our Chica for her stage debute. :-) do we have a second career for miss lovely Nichole?? Maybe so...

I could be really crazy.... But I felt something in my tummy while we were there last night. It felt like it could have been a kick. Who knows though. It's still early. They say between 16-20 weeks... But... (shrug)

Alls I know is, it wasn't gas. :)

16 weeks!

Hey, we are 4 months pregnant! Yay!!

I'm all bubbily from yesterday still. :-)

Last night I wanted to practice holding the baby so I swaddled mija and pretended...





She hated it.

Today we go for our monthly OB checkup and I think we'll be able to hear the heart this time! Yes!!! We've been able to see it on the sonograms but we haven't heard it yet. I'm excited!!!

After that, it's another month before we get more baby activity. Well professional activity that is. I've been reading that the baby can start kicking any time after 16 weeks but closer to 20.

I've been feeling flutters and they say that can be baby too. Jelly is supposed to be practicing moving all the time :-)

It could also be gas.... Lol! But I can feel the difference now. Sometimes it's definitley possibly the baby. :)

Well hello baby

Waving hello...



Side view of spine...



Everything went so well... With the exception of finding out the gender lol!! They couldn't see. Oh well, next month hopefully.

They took a million photos but only printed a few for us. The doctor went through each one with us after and gave us the good news that everything looked normal.

So relieved! Can't wait to see the baby again next month. He grew so much already from last time!!

I was so happy that Gayle, and my parents were able to make it. It was awesome to see their reactions. They're so excited. I'm so glad they were able to come. :)

There's a baby in there!!

Just call it fat

Maternal storage tissue...


Yeah right! I think if gee said that I'd be more mad than if he just called me a fatass. Lol I'm serious! Don't dance around things, I say call it like it is. It doesn't bother me at all! It's all for the baby anyway. :)

He doesn't though. I say "oft! I'm getting really fat." and he just says "no, it's baby!" and rubs my tummy. Sweet huh?

I had another crazy dream last night! Well a few. The first one was nice and I know where it came from. I was talking with stephie yesterday. So I dreamt we were visiting them. But the crazy dream was about our friend Nolte! I was yelling at him because he didn't like the green beans I made. So I took off for a jog in the rain to calm down. I was very, very pregnant in the dream. I don't even like green beans! So strange. Even weirder... I could actually run in the dream. Like really far, without feeling like I was going to die. Hah! Wouldn't that be nice...

Adios Jess

Jess left today :( next time we see her there will be another person in her family! So amazing.

Friday Julie and Jess came up to palm beach. We went to O'sheas and had really yummy Irish food and relaxed. Then we decided to help Julie get her dress for mari's wedding.


She doesn't read the blog anyway so i'm putting up the funny armpit photo rather than a nice one. :) I like it better so there.

Yesterday we woke up really late and let the baby rest. Lol (we're lazy bums) then we picked up Jess and headed to Hollywood to see Julie. We painted things for babies. :)



Gabe, Jessie, Julie painted the letters E, M, and R for baby Ella's room (they were out of A's or we would have spelled out Ella and I would have been in on that... It's ok though because gabe painted a SHARK for the both of us....) and I painted Mr. Krabs for our baby. I forgot to take a photo.



Then we ate and I felt huuuuge and we walked and I was achey. By the time we got home I passed out. No insomnia last night for sure!

Today our plans are to do nothing, and it feels great. Lol

I love Jessie to death and desperately want her to move home, but she wore me out this week!! Lol!!

Cupcake connoisseurs

Jess and I hit up 2 cupcake joints yesterday.


These are from the house of sweets. I could barely finish half of mine. The red velvet was for gee as a congratulations/destress because he was nervous about teaching a new training class. :) He did great though!

They were so yummy! Plus, the bakery is connected to a vintage shop so we had fun oohing and awing at all the fun funky clothes.

Them we went to cupcake couture.


Felt like we were back at dylans in new york. :-) look how cute my preggo Jess is!

I stopped off and got dinner on the way home because I had a feeling gee would be exhausted. We ate by 6 and were asleep by 7. Lol!!

Today the baby is one of my favorite foods!!



An avocado!!! Yay!

15 weeks!

Less than a week until 4 months and we find out boy or girl!


This week has been awesome having Jess here! I really miss being able to hang out with her.

Tuesday we went to lunch, the maternity store where we bought nothing (so expensive!), and then to the most godawful movie ever. Do not see Remember Me. Just don't. Then out for Mexican food with gabe and then by the time lost was over I was ready to go to bed. Weird thing was, I got barely any sleep. I'm having trouble sleeping and I don't know why.

Last night was st. Pattys and we had the traditional corned beef and cabbage with mom and dad and then watched Johnny dangerously. We talked a lot about pregnancy with Jess. God bless her, she's not getting an epidural. I am. I'm not that brave. Gabe was a big baby and so was I. No way, give me the meds. Lol

Today is my moms birthday. Happy birthday granny! Love you!

Blog

I've been wanting to blog, really I have. But just too damn lazy to get on the real computer (not the phone like usual) and steal some photos from over the weekend at jessie's shower.

It went great, and I'm thrilled to have my Jess home for a little bit.

I'll put a photo up soon. Hopefully...

-14weeks5daysandcounting

14 weeks!

We are now 14 weeks!

Yesterday I ate everything that wasn't nailed down in the house. I think the morning sickness has finally passed and I am easing into the crazy eating phase. :-)

I jumped on the wii and it said that not only had I been absent for 53 days (boo Liz!), but that I had lost 8 pounds in that time!! Crazy, because I know my tummy is bigger. I know I haven't been eating a lot, but the belly is definitely stretching and changing. Lol

Let's see what else.... Oh yeah! I spoke to my doctors office and they confirmed that at the next appointment I will be having a detailed sonogram that will, if the baby cooperates, show girl or boy parts! So exciting!!

Can't wait for Saturday. I get to see my prego partner in crime. :-) hope all goes well for Jessie's shower.

That's about all I gots for now. I'll leave you with a video of my gangstah ass bird, Brolly, who is beeboppin and dancing to Lil Wayne. Yes, she is my daughter afterall. :-)

Over the weekend

After cleaning all day saturday, we went out to a farewell dinner for our friend Dave. He is moving in with his girlfriend in NYC! Very cool. We're all so happy for him, but definitely will miss him at the usual gatherings.

Yesterday gee and I went to ihop for breakfast where I had 3 of the most delicious cups of decaf coffee of my life.


Oh coffee, how I miss you so...

(this is turning into a food blog huh?)

Anyway, then we went to visit nani and tata. :-)


Also saw granny in the sky (long story and slightly embarrassing) but there's a small rainbow there. :-)

Not much to complain about these days. Just stretching outwards and sleeping! Lol

Heaven on a plate

Think the cravings are starting...



-13weeks1daysandcounting

13 weeks

We are 13 weeks! :)

Aside from what I guess is called "round ligament (sp?) pain" (my abdomen gets kinda achey and if I move too fast I get sharp pains) I'm feelin ok! It's just my tummy stretching and getting ready for the growth.

I still get crazy dizzy spells at the most awkward moments but whaddya gonna do.

Today is Jessie and ryans anniversary :) happy 4th year! I can't wait to see them next weekend for the shower! Speaking of which... I have cleaning to do :)

-13weeks0daysandcounting

Not much

Nothing to say really. Not a very exciting week. I thought I was done throwing up... Nope. Then dizzy spells. Then back ache and weirdo stretching pain. But it's all normal so that's ok.

Every time I go shopping now I have to look at baby stuff. If there's a baby section I'm there. I've definitely decided that I Hate Winnie the pooh. I'm liking the jungle though lol.

I'm more monkeys and birds than tigger and pooh.

I'm thinking I want to paint a mural on the baby's wall. I'm waiting to hear back from the owner of our place, but if we get the green light... Nichole and Renee, you in?? :-)
