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

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.
Total weight gain: Holding steady at 3lbs.
Maternity clothes? oh, indeed.
Sleep: I just want one night where I don't get up 3 times to pee
Best moment this week: seeing our littl girl!.
Movement: yep!
Gender: GIRL!
Labor Signs: none
Belly Button in or out? In.
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.
