six months

Antonio sent his photos to me today, yesss!!!

This one is my favorite... the dress its a little over the top. lol so what

I am six months this week, my hands and feet are starting to get swollen.

Have I told you I wake up randomly in the middle of the night? I do.

I have I told you when I'm hungry, I mean feed me now, no waiting!

Have I told you I have low patience for strangers and will yell at them? I do, and have.

Have I told you the maternity pants I bought in the beginning are starting to fit? they are.

anyways.. I tell you Im hungry? I'm eating a danish.



size of baby

1 pound of future awesomeness

Baby has taste buds now and has finally broke her weight from grams into her first pound. That's one large tomato, or a potato, or an onion, or a small bag of sugar. Since she has taste buds now, she's eating what I'm eating. I am going to try my best to stay away from processed foods, and fast food. This week I feel I did pretty well. Everything I ate was homemade plus I made a butternut squash soup from scratch (feeling pretty accomplished at that). I've been eating more fruit and veggies, making sure I get all the calcium as possible for her little bones. Her ear bones have formed now and she can hear my heartbeat and voice. I am going to start talking to her. James already does, he felt her kicking last night :) I am slowly giving up sweets, I may limit them to weekends only, just like coffee. I did find a blueberry cheese danish at the Farmer's Market on Sunday.....I gave up donuts and replaced them with French Vanilla yogurt.

We received another gift, from his grandmother up north near Washington. Thanks Grandma!

I love taking advantage of this spot! The best compliment I've her was

"Have you gained any weight??"

me: yeah 10+ pounds

"Its not showing, you look like Nicole Richie, she just got a bump, but you couldn't see the weight gain"

yesssss!!!! I love Nicole!

Steph says the baby is going to like PopStars as she gets older, lol, omg.

Monthly tune up

Had our monthly doctor visit. She talked about H1N1 & flu shots. Our
dr says even the healthiest pregnant mom can have serious issues from
this flu. I was a little scared. She's going to have the vaccine in
her office, when it's avaliable in November, or I can go to Valley
Medical on Saturday 9am and wait in line. I can also get a regular flu
shot in the mean time and call her when I get a fever. But I hear you
get sick when you take a flu shot. Boo...

I gained 4 pounds this past month! I haven't broken 140 yet, I'm just
a few away.......I had almost half a bag of Doritos on Sunday. I said
to myself "So what! You haven't had Doritos in months you want
something cheesy and crunchy then u eat em!"

We heard her heartbeat again, I didn't cry this time but I was holding
it back. Her heartbeats at 146 bpm.

We are both healthy! My last blood tests turned out negative. I have
tons of energy! I was in the breast cancer walk over the weekend,
3.5miles and I felt great afterwards and the next day. I even got
another walk in this morning.

I know I'm really lucky I haven't had any problems. I'm going to try
out new prenatal vitamins, if I like them I can get a prescription
(for a vitamin?! Wow) I get painful gas pressure they may help =\

Miss lil baby girl has been introducing her foot to my insides. I can
feel lots and lots of movement. I had the remote on my belly, she
kicked and the remote moved! James hasn't been able to feel them yet.

Our next visit is 11/30, she gave us info on childbirth classes and
hospitals. I didn't know you needed to register....I think I'm overly
preparing myself, but I like that stuff to be organized and I like
having time to ask questions.

Oh and no blood test required this time *happy dance*
