Since it's not technically my first Mother's Day yet....just a pseudo Mother's Day I thought I would share with you what we did this year. First off baby girl woke me up at quarter to six wiggling around and kicking me as a reminder that she's still in there! I love her kicks, but I really wanted to sleep in....guess that didn't happen, so I just lied there til about 8 feeling her moving until I woke up the hubby. He went downstairs to get my gift, a custom box of Sees candy! YUM YUM and my card. He is also taking me for a mani/pedi soon for my gift as well. Can't wait for that! Some relaxation time is in order!
We got out of bed to get ready for our day and head out to the golf club for Mother's Day brunch with my in-laws. My brother-in-law is a chef at the restaurant so we all had bomb omelets and yummy breakfast foods with all the fixings. I was so full when we left. It was kind of exciting as I am perusing my way through the muffins I look up and see Mark Paul Gosselar! You know Zach Morris from Saved by the Bell! I had a mini heart attack and the hubby, who was watching my reaction and laughing at me wandered over and confirmed my suspicions! I was fan-girling hardcore, but left him alone to be with his family. Would have loved to have gotten his autograph though! Next time.
After brunch we walked home, called my mom, and waited for my mother-in-law's cousin and niece to stop by for a quick visit. While we waited I updated the chalkboard for 32 weeks and just relaxed on the couch. After all the family left, I passed out for a solid two hours. I guess that was my body's way of letting me know that I needed to rest! Once I finally woke up, the hubby and I took our bump shot and relaxed for the evening. It was a great day and super relaxing!
What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a large jicama (might have to send the hubby to get one of those! YUM!), measuring 16.75" long and weighs about 3.75 pounds. She will gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She has toenails, fingernails, and hair. Her skin is becoming soft and smooth.
What's been going on with mom? Super tired as the heat gradually gets worse and she gets bigger in front of me. I can still see and reach my toes which is nice to be able to update my colors. Sleep, and getting in and out of a reclined position is really difficult. Getting really hard to keep up on my "grooming" because I can no longer see certain areas! I asked for the acne to move somewhere else other than my face, and my body accepted that challenge....by letting pimples pop up on my neck, chest and back.....while still coming up on my face. Thanks universe!
Symptoms: Exhaustion, heartburn, this is not going away, acne, mild charlie horses. Emotional
Yummy/Icky: Jicama sounds yummers! Juicy fruits (watermelon, grapes, oranges) and ICE COLD water.
Clothing: Maternity, however I can still wear some pre-pregnancy items. Need some hot weather shirts STAT!
Movement: Everyday there's a wiggle section. The kicks and punches have slowed but she still likes to shift around!
Belly Button In/Out: Teeny tiny!
Wedding Rings On/Off: On, can still get tight.....hopefully the will stay on!
Best Moment this Week: Probably getting to celebrate my unofficial first Mother's Day.
Looking forward to: My baby shower this weekend!!!!! EEP!
Loved this weeks chalkboard.....got inspiration from Little Baby Garvin!
