Sorry I am ALREADY in my PJs, but I had to get a pic of the bump action! Lots to do tonight, but I couldn't go another day without posting! Had a rough weekend and missed posting, but I am sure you will understand. I am looking forward to the next couple weeks... We will be painting and decorating Baby's room and I can't wait to show you how things are going. Alright, enjoy!
Exercising? A couple walks and volleyball, of course. 2 more weeks of volleyball and then it will be over for a while, for me at least. My team will play on without me and I hope to be reunited with them down the road! Also, looking forward to prenatal yoga in the next couple weeks(no luck getting that in this week)… I might even have a friend that will be joining me! I also downloaded these AWESOME apps called Hatha Yoga and YOGAmazing. It is a great way to just do my own yoga at home when I have time here and there….
Maternity clothes? You bectcha baby! All the girls at work were looking for the bump and this week... and the bump IS out! I am sure if you don’t know I am pregnant, I just look like I eat too much, but if you know me, you can see the huge difference this week in size.
Sleeping? Oh I am trying! I am fearing the this bump interrupting more and more now... as it is already the reason I wake up every time I MOVE in the bed!
Missing Anything? I think I know why they call this stage the honeymoon period. I am really not missing anything...I am feeling pretty good! The only thing I thought about this week is that is was nice to NOT worry about every action I do affecting someone else right now. Everything I eat, drink, smell, etc is all going right to someone else. So not only do I over indulge in the Easter basket of chocolate, but baby does too! It will be nice to not have to worry about my EVERY SINGLE ACTION affecting baby one day... but then again, with the hope of breast-feeding... it will be a long time from now!
Food cravings? Nah..... nothing!! I can't believe it!
Acid Reflux? I think I need to change this question to HEARTBURN? ABSOLUTELY! Oh my.... I find the less I eat and more frequent I eat the heartburn is not so bad, but if I try to sit down and have a meal that I would have eaten 18 weeks ago, it does not sit well.... the pain radiates into my back and under my ribs. I am a tum-a-holic right now. They are not the best relief, but even a little helps when the pain strikes.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Well my weekend has put me on an oatmeal hiatus. Oatmeal is my FAVORITE breakfast... I have it ALMOST every morning. I add blueberries to it, it is easy to eat at work when I start my day, it has some good fiber in it (which EVERY pregnant woman knows is essential! Hehe) and tastes DELICIOUS.... well, I am not so much interested in it after I saw it come up.
This Weeks Symptoms? Low immune system brought on by pregnancy strikes AGAIN! Flu or Food Poising crept in on my fun filled weekend... Saturday morning I woke up feeling fine... started getting ready for the bridal shower and West Side Story musical. During my morning routine, I felt a little tummy ache and I thought, oh, I should eat something... of course I go for my golden breakfast: bowl of oatmeal! I should have known while I was eating it, it just didn't feel right... my tummy was still yelling at me! Finished up the oatmeal and right after I dropped my bowl off in the sink I sprinted right into the bathroom. From there you know how flu/food poising works... couldn't even keep down water or bread! My tummy was fighting the "hunger pain" and the "don't eat" pain!!
Gender? I wish I had an answer for you... I really really really do. I just keep saying to myself April 27th, April 27th, April 27th....
Any Movement? Oh ya... Baby Foti was throwing jabs/kicks/punches (WHO KNOWS) on Sunday night! I even attempted to have Tyler try and feel it, but he couldn't... I had to text Lindsay (not that she has been pregnant or anything but Tyler and I just rely on her to have all the answers being a Labor and Delivery nurse-haha) and I asked her what was going on in there. Haha. I was feeling movement of some sort on the higher end of my bump. I guess I just expected it to be lower.... but it was non-stop, like a bouncy ball just bouncing over and over and over and over against my tummy. I texted to Lindsay, "Is that the BABY!?" She texts back, "Welcome to pregnancy!" haha.... it was awesome to have that validation. And it was awesome to feel something substantial compared to the little flutters that I has felt in the past.
Labor Signs? Nope.
Belly Button: in or out? Haha... I feel so funny saying this, but it is more out than in! Why so early!? I thought this happens like the last month!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Overall Mood this week? Great! (Besides the weekend shenanigans.) We are just dying to know the gender so the anxiety and anticipation is quite high, but other than that... I am feeling fantastic.
Looking forward to? I think you can guess this.... BOY OR GIRL!? I feel like this question consumes my mind!! In the mean time... this weekend I am making an appearance back in MADISON! I have missed my downtown crew for a long time so I will be spending the weekend walking the streets of Mad-town and eating some of the BEST food Wisconsin can offer. Unfortunately, this appearance will be missing my favorite Madison treat: a nice "slightly" dirty martini with some raw oysters toped with a dash of horseradish. Yummy. But it will still be great and I am very much looking forward to reminiscing my love for that city and their fine taste in exquisite food.
Pit of the week? It is obvious that feeling like death on Saturday morning tops the charts here... It also interrupted my weekend plans! I stayed home from the bridal shower to sleep and get my tummy rested. Thank God I made it to the West Side Story Musical (which was phenomenal) but I was always planning my escape incase I needed to dart to the restrooms. And then, still not feeling a 100% on Sunday, we decided to pass on the Art Museum and missed reporting to blogger. Hopefully some time soon we get there!
Peak of the week? Tyler's dad signed a lease for a house on Okauchee Lake!! Looks like we will do a little lake living this summer! Also means one step closer to having our own HOME! I feel like the nesting stage is JUST around the corner! Yahh Hooo!
Make it a great week and see you real soon!!!
Much Love,
Jax
