I have less than 3 months..I have less than 100 days...O.M.G.

Yoga FAIL!

So I am no stranger to yoga. I'm not. I started doing it over a year ago and while I have to admit that doing JUST yoga may not have made me shed weight the way I wanted it to it still was something that made me a happy (and lets face it....much more bendy) girl.

But now that I am with spawn...I have to do "prenatal yoga"


What-the-eff-ever. I am Captain Cleavage and I can totally still do my regular yoga...right...RIGHT?!?!?



WRONG!


Lets just say that when "mommy" decided that even though she has a potruding belly and her center of gravity may (or may not) be slightly *coughtotallycough* of kilter doing things like balanceing on my hands in a squating position (cause I gots skillz) and twisting my legs up behind my head (again...skillz) is still totally possible


I was stuck on the floor for 15 min rolling around like a demented beach ball tring to get up.

EPIC FAIL!

David was at work and laughed heartilly when I told him (bastard!)



I have also had to ask for him to help me get up from the kitchen floor (darn food storage on the bottom!)

as well as getting out of bed (seriously?!?!?)



Yeah...this doesn't make me feel like one of those webble wobble toys!

Late nights...long nights.

I don't know if it is the pregnancy horomones or jitters or just the very fast approach of her birth but I have not been able to sleep more than a few hours at a time a night lately. Thoughts run through my head at warp speed

sleep by 12

wake up at 2 to go pee

2:05 lay down and attempt to fall asleep as penny is throwing what I can only imagiane is a dance party in my ute

2:15 did I wash the dishes? ugh no...shit d needs a clean coffee cup in the morning...

2:16 get up to wash out 2 coffee mugs

3:00 lay back down after washing all the dishes dusting the living room mopping the kitchen floor and scrubbing down the stove and wall with comet and bleach.

3:02 She sure is moving around a lot tonight is this her way of telling me she is going to be a night owl? or is this god allowing me to have every moment possible with her like he did with the other 2...

3:03 begins to cry as quietly as possible of my two lost little ones and wonder what they would have looked like and how am i going to one day explain to penny she has two older brothers in heaven named Paxton and Drake.

3:10 watches david sleep...when he is awake he is all man...alll sexy sexy man...but asleep...he looks like a little boy. I can tell he is having good dreams because he is smiling and every once-in-a-while he will giggle softly.

3:30 Hungery and thirsty now

4:00 D's alarm goes off in a half hour for work...time to try and get some sort of sleep even if it is only for an hour and a half...I know when he leaves I will be up for the day...can't sleep when he isn't there.

4:30...coffee maker isn't set...SHIT!

5:00 Penny isn't moving anymore...time for sleep

5:30 BEEP BEEP BEEP! (grumble grumble ugh stupid technology...alarm clocks were made by the devil!)

5:45 D an i are enjoying the snooze button and hoping that by staying hidden under the blanket that maybe no one will notice our absence from the world today...

5:46 I have to pee again...no rest for the wicked...


So I have been up since 2 am and david left at 6. the house (apt) is clean dinner is prepared for tonight...This is why I can't wait for us to get a house..It takes all of 4 hours to deep clean our apt and when you do it once a week...even less. A house would take the better part of the day plus I will have penny. I love that I will be a stay at home mommy...but honestly I am getting cabin fever now...grrrrr

24 weeks!

:::gives penny the side eye::: Don't even think about it child!

Oh yeah this just gets better and better...

*WARNING! This blog is going to be gross. Just saying!*

Ok so there is a group on facebook called. "I hate being pregnant"

As a pregnant woman who lives in Florida and is doing this whole incubation thing during the summer I can honestly say there are times when yes...I have lamented being pregnant.

Now before anyone starts screaming at me and accusing me of hating my child...let me explain.

I love our daughter (whom we have named...and it will be reveled at the end of this post)

D loves our daughter. We love that she bounces around and we can feel her. We love that she weighs a little over a pound, gets hiccups, and that she responds to music.

BUT...

I hate

Migraines-I have had the once a week

The snail trail-Seriously...you are only supposed to have a baby coming out of your no no parts at the end of nine months! not a trickle of gooey vag discharge (told you it would be gross!)

Sore Boobies-And the bigger the boobs...the worse it seems to be!

These are my symptoms and let me be honest I got off light in the prego symptom dept! I was lucky!

So next time you see a preggo woman lamenting about her pregnancy...don't judge...get her a cupcake..they make everything better :)

and now for the name revele

Penelope Laine or as we are going to call her for short

Penny Laine (if you are a beatles fan this will prolly make you smile)

not so weekly questionair

How far along? 23 weeks.

What I miss: Comfortably holding a pen, eating utensil, etc.
What I am looking forward to: the baby shower in 2 months!!lol
Milestones: sono and finding out the gender

It is o strange for me to be able to say i am over halfway done. I have about 2 more weeks till i am 6 months pregnant and three months till the great blow out of 2010 or labor. I have only 4 more weeks left in my 2nd trimester. My baby girl blinks and moves and smiles (and to all of those out there who have looked at her picture given me the side eye and said...michelle babies can't smile this early she was just making a random face...you all can just bite me! She was smiling damn you!)
and sucks her thumb and is practicing her breathing.

I on the other hand have been washing baby clothes as they come in (thank you craigslist and ebay) watching birthing videos and practicing MY breathing! It hasn't really trully hit me yet...I figure that will come about after the new year..lets say jan 3rd I will prolly have a small melt down and have a freak out post! lol.


And in a really fun turn of events my cousin who is 1 day younger than me is expecting his first baby (also a little girl)one month before I am due! My aunt is overjoyed and has already decided...there shall be playdates.

To my daughter.

I found out you were growing in me in may. I didn't belive those two little lines on the pee stick. I thought I was just stressed and thats why I was late. 12 weeks later I heard your incredibly strong little heart. The MW found it without even trying. It wasn't till You and I had been together for 18 weeks that you started to make your presence known. I love feeling you. Streatching and moving and kicking. when I feel the movements from the utside it sends a thrill down my spin and puts a smile on my face. And then little one on friday i saw your beautiful face. And I cried. You are real. Not just some perfect dream but real. Mommy has to apologize for thinking you were a boy. i refused to even think you were a girl in the weeks leading up to your first photoshoot. and then I heard those words...It's a girl!

And I realized how much I loved you and how silly it was for me to want a little boy because my sweet angel you are beautiful and perfect.

I want you to grow up strong and indpenent. I want you to have your fathers inablity to get hurt (seriously kid...momma is so far from gracefull it isn't even funny) I want you to have you grandfathers sense of humor and your gramma's love of family.

I want you to be happy with your choices and never to be afraid to dance in the rain.

I love you my beautiful little one.

Mommy

Brina...guess what...

You were totally right!

I is having a girl!

I love her big "animie cartoon character" smile :)

ok so far it's a tie!

Tommrow at 12:00 d and I are going to try and see if we are having a boy or girl. This will probably be our last chance until the baby arrives to find out.

So far between old wives tales mommy intuition and a number of on-line quizzez and gender prediction calanders via the chinese lunar chart...

It is a tie.

Half say boy half say girl.

We will see!

i know I know...BAD BLOGGER!

But i am 19 weeks pregnant (or as many have told e to say almost 5 months....apparently going week by week pisses people off! lol)

The bottom line...in one more week...I will be half way through my pregnancy!

Which means I will have been pregnant longer than I have to be preg! (i.e I will be 5 months pregnant and only have 4 months to go!)

My little spawn is moving around now and I am starting to feel him more and more...yep...I said him. We still Don't know what bobo is yet (other than you know...a human baby) But we are getting more and more excited. We has a crib and some clothing. and november we will be buckiling down and getting the rest of the stuff (carseat stroller...baby crack machine)

and I am totally showing now! It is amazing how much he is growing in me and how fast this is going!

I am now officially starting to get the mommie jitters. I wonder the normal things of course...will baby have my hair color? daddy's eyes? My complete disregard for cordination (gawd I hope not!)daddy's brains?

I also think will baby be a good person? will i teach him to grow up loving accepting and being the best person he can strive to be?

Strangly enough I havent thought "Is baby a girl?" lol

Baby's now the size of a naval orange!
Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.

I feel better I look better I know thw risk of M/S is down to like 3-5percent I feel the baby is safe. Don't get me wrong I know a lot can go wrong still...but I feel at peace.

Who want's to play a game?

It's a guessing game. D and I are still on the fence about finding out the sex of the baby but we do have a few more weeks to go till we have to address that. and it isn't like we aren't goign to find out eventually. So until then I am playing the guessing game

here are some old wives tales and my answers to them for bobo.

If your left breast is bigger than the right during pregnancy, you're having a girl. If the right is bigger, it'll be a boy. If they are the same size, you're in for a surprise! Ok so I measured and with D's expert opinion we have decided my right breast is slightly bigger...im having a boy


If you get moody during pregnancy you are more likely to have a girl. This is because all women are moody, and when carrying a girl you become doubly so.
Meh no mood changes...im still having a boy



If you carry the baby out front (others can’t see your pregnancy from behind) then you will have a boy. If others can tell that you are pregnant when looking at you from behind, then you will have a girl.
my ass is huge...im having a girl




Have the mum-to-be pick up a key. If she picks it up by the round end, it will be a boy. If she picks it up by the long end, it will be a girl. Should she pick it up at the middle, twins are on the way.
I grab by the pointy end...i'm haing a girl

If the mother's age at conception and the year of conception are both even or both odd, the baby is a girl. If one is even and one is odd, the baby is a boy.
mmm having a boy again




Hang a gold pendant (preferably one the mother wears often) over the palm of the mother’s hand. If the pendant moves in a circular motion, it will be a girl. If it swings back and forth, a boy is on the way.
BOY

If the mum-to-be was the more aggressive partner when the baby was conceived, it will be a boy. If the father was the more aggressive, the baby will be a girl.

hahaha! we both were!


If you suffer from acne during pregnancy, you will have a girl.
back to girl again

What side does the mum-to-be lay on while she's resting? If she lies on her left, it's a boy; on her right, it's a girl.
what about my stomach? I lay on my right more...it's a girl

If young boys (pre-school age) show interest in you while you're pregnant, it will be a girl. If they ignore you, expect a boy.
still girl

Ask the mum-to-be to show you her hands. If she shows them palms up, it's a girl; palms down, a boy.

I used to show palms up but now I do it palms down...to show off my E ring
so it's a boy

If you dream of girls, you will have a boy. If you dream of boys, you will have a girl.

i dream of girls...it will be a boy

I know I have a baby growing inside me. when I feel like tossing my cookies because D is eating massive ammounts of chocolate and bobo apparentlly HATES chocolate, or when my boobs feel like they are screaming at me in pain or when I smell cheese...and nearly kill D trying to get to the fridge...I am reminded that the reason is because of the little one growing inside me.

I might kill my neighbors...

ok not really but seriously...is it really absolutely necessary to blast your music loud enough that people two floors above can not only hear it but feel the vibes in the walls? really?

maybe i am just being overly cranky because I fell like hell (please god no more morning sickness...please!!!!)I haven't slept more than 3 hours a night for 6 days straight and I have the headache from hell (not a migraine...yet.

or maybe I got to much sun at wet and wild (that was the wooooorst experience ever...chlorine sunblock sweaty guest and deep fried food and 90+ degree weather did not sit well with me or bobo!)

but what ever it is I don't care....the music needs to stop!

in other news I am 2 days away from being 9 weeks and David and I are going to the first U/S on Friday :)

I guess after the loss of the monkeys I am panicky about everything. I am pretty sure that once I am 14 weeks I will calm down...maybe.

In other news D has always been fascinated by my boobs...and it is just getting worse. before when he would grab and squeeze as he walked by I would giggle. Now it hurts. Now I give him the squinty eye and think seriously about cutting off his hands

cant help it it made me lol

Sweet child of mine....

ok my little psyco baby....here is the deal. mommy and daddy are hella-excited about you. We can't wait for you to get here. and we loved hearing your little heartbeat (so strong!) and watching you on the moniter (it was obvious there was a dance party going on in my ute) but here is the thing. you know thw saying if momma aint happy aint nobody happy? well refphrase it to if momma aint eating aint no body eating (except daddy...smug bastard) Please stop making me want to toss my cookies at the sight and smell of all foods! You can not grow on nothing but soda crackers sprite water and cheese....seriouslly! and btw....making the one thing mommy can stomach (as far as smells go) be shell fish....which mommy is deathly allergic to....funny...real funny kid! So in closing...we love you and can't wait to meet you...but momma needs to eat and so do you so no more morning (afternoon night) sickness mkay!

for our little psyco!

i have become obsessed...obsessed I tell you with psyco baby...beside the awsome pacy (and thus far the only one I will allow...) we have also purchased...

the cutest swaddaling blanket...EVER!

Mommy's diaper bag (so what if he is a boy...i will totally use this when he is a teen as a purse!

And of course his little vegan shoes (or her little vegan shoes...they could go both ways)

And I have a surprise for david....I got his daddy diaper bag too!

p.s. sorry about the wackyness of the pics...for some reason i still havent figured out how to post pics properlly....le sigh...someday

week 7!

Ahhh week seven. I am now only 5 weeks away from being out of the first trimester and into the 2nd! 5 weeks till the risk of miscarriage goes down! yay!things are going really well (my boobs are still killing me though) We picked a birthing center this week which is in Sanford..yeah it is a little far away but we love it! I can't wait to see the baby on screen and hear it's heart beat! She is the size of a blueberry this week (which makes me think of violet from charlie and the chocolate factory...which in turn makes me giggle hysterically) And I had the weirdest thought ever! If this baby is a girl...in about 1 month she will have developed all the eggs she will ever have in her lifetime. Which will produce my possible granddaughter. which means at some point very soon three generations of women will be residing in my body...the grandmother the mother and the daughter. I know...its weird!

Right now I am focusing on getting through he next 5 weeks. I can not wait to be out of the danger zone!

Kenneth.

It's a good name...it is. But I can not name my son kenneth...

because that is the name of my old theater teacher Mr. Rush.

Whom i respect...

but was from time to time...

was kinda...

well...

Evil.

according to my friend kim...he was the devil.

David really wants to name him that...I prefer Asher.

I hope we have a girl...we agree on the girls name

You know it's weird...2 weeks ago I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative...and now I am 1 1/2 months pregnant...wow!

I have been through this before (well the first trimester part of it) and I know the rules about wht to do and not do and what to eat. Having suffered a misscarriage (which sucked hardcore) maybe i ma a little on edge about everything...like on sunday when david brought home subs...and I love me a good sub...but they were cold cuts subs (this is why I prefere quizno's)

I wanted to thank him for thinking of me..for remembering my tirdness and getting dinner...I wanted to hug and kiss him and tell him I loved him for being so considerate...but did I?


in a word...no...

crazy prgnant michelle came out again...poor sweet david...

Look baby subs! i brought dinner so you don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning tonight!

oh baby than...wait...are these cold cuts?

yeah..I know you like the turkey...right (this was said in fear as he realized something was wrong)

I can't have cold cuts! Im pregnant...It's on the no-no list! You know this!

I...but...why?????

Because god said so david! thats why!!!

....god?

YES! It's in the bible! Look it up!

ok...

(20 min later)

David!!!! Did you look it up?!?!

Yes...and i couldn't...

You didnt look right!

ok...would you like to go out tonight for dinner? maybe friday's?

oh baby yes thank you!

(see how sweet!)

In all seriousness though...Im not that much of a crazy girl...and once im in my 2nd trimester it will get better...im sure...

And as I spend at least 20-30 min an hour going to the bathroom i decided to figure out why...and I did...I have to drink like 5 millon gallons of water a day for this kid...anyone would be constantly peeing!

Now I know why people think pregnant womens are crazy...

because we act like it! every little thing freaks us the hell out and we act like a bunch of nutcases!

Your the size of an Appleseed this week my little monkey. Which is funny since I have wanted nothing but apple juice for the past two weeks. My first clue that something was amiss! Mommy and daddy are very excited (well excited and scared) about you! we are both newbies on this so be gentle. We love you little monkey and can't wait to hear your heartbeat or see your smile or count your little toes!

Love,

Mommy
