5 AM on a Saturday

So here I am again up by 5:30 on a Saturday. This time it was Phoebe who woke me up but Calleigh who is keeping me up. Phoebe ate a few things yesterday that she shouldn't have like underwear and a scotch tape dispenser. So I woke up to the sound of a dog gagging under my blankets. Did not get her off the bed in time but my hand made it to the puke just perfectly. I didn't even gage that much! So I tried to go back to sleep but Calleigh is awake and moving a lot so I decided to get up and enjoy a quiet morning while I can. I don't have too many left!

Yep Still Pregnant!

We had a doctors appointment today. It was supposed to be at 9:15 am. I actually did not see the doctor until almost 10:15 am. Now while I like my doctor and his nurse I do not like waiting for an hour after my appointment. I know they can get behind and I know that either way I need to be there. BUT...I still get annoyed. It is in my nature. Not to mention I am 8 months pregnant so things annoy me more than usual these days. Good thing Ben was there to tell me not to get annoyed. LOL That helped! Ok so all that aside I am now 33 weeks pregnant and everything is perfect. My doctor commented today that I still have no stretch marks (which I am extremely proud about) and that we only have about 7 weeks to go! WOW! I was looking at a magazine at the doctors office called "watch my baby grow" or something like that. It was a picture of the baby for each month of pregnancy. I am so amazed that my little blueberry grew to be so big in such a short amount of time. Of course it didn't seem so short when my head was in the toilet or now that I can't get my butt off the couch without a little pull from Ben.

Christmas is here in less than a week. I don't know how that got here so quick either. I am excited this year because we get to be in our own house for Christmas Morning. I plan on waking up, making a nummy breakfast, relaxing with Ben, Scooby, and Phoebe and opening presents. Scooby cannot wait! I put some stuff in Ben's stocking and Scooby just sits and stares at it. He thinks all the presents are for him. Phoebe has not figured it out yet.

Here's a belly pic for you all! I don't like it! But I won't like any others either.

8 Months!!!! Really??

I am officially 8 months pregnant! 32 weeks. I was 6 weeks when we found out. Seems like so long ago but it actually came quick. Only 55 or so days to go! It seems like all I can think about is baby, baby, baby. Sounds like I might be annoyed right? Not in the least. See I really don't mind being pregnant. It is a very exciting, scary, and amazing journey. The changes a womens body can make to grow this little human is a miracle. It is a superpower! LOL Now although I don't mind being pregnant I pretty much would just like to have her here already! I sit and watch my belly move and I picture what she is doing, what look is on her face and wonder how she is feeling. I am ready to hold her. I am ready to see the look on Ben's face when he holds his little girl for the first time. Just him holding my belly while she kicks at him makes me want to cry each and every time. Calleigh and I already have a special bond. After all she has been living in me for 8 months now. But I know Ben and her will have something so different. I know this because I know him. I see the excitment in his face and hear the joy in his voice every time he says her name. That is what I can't wait for the most. I can't wait for my daughter and her daddy to meet!

Thanksgiving...and a doctors appointment

Thanksgiving came and went by really fast this year. We had a great relaxing time though. We usually are able to drive up to see my family for an early or later Thanksgiving but two 3 hour car rides in one month just doesn't sound good to a 7 1/2 month pregnant girl. So Wednesday afternoon we loaded up Adam's (Ben's brother) car with all of our stuff and two weenie dogs to drive to Ben's parents River House. It is located I think an hour or so past Asotin. Don't know where that is? I had never heard of it either. But anyway... the River house is very relaxing and quiet. Thanksgiving Day Ben went fishing. He caught 2 steal head and a carp. He had a great time and definitely needs to go back soon. I watched the parade with Sydney and read. Alisa and Diane cooked an amazing dinner. The dogs were lazy and sat by the fire pretty much the entire time except when they were barking at Doug's Chocolate Lab Charlie. For some reason they just didn't get along! Ben got up Friday morning to fish a bit and then we left for home. We spent the rest of our weekend organizing and decorating for Christmas.

We had another doctors appointment today. They are now every two weeks. My glucose test came back great and so did all my blood work. Calleigh is growing just fine and is as active as ever! I am back to being tired again. The second trimester was great. I had this sudden burst of energy and at times I even forgot I was pregnant. Not so much anymore. After work I just want to put on my sweats, crawl on the couch and do nothing. This feeling along with my ever growing sweet tooth has made my weight gain apparent. It is not bad I know. I am just at the top of how much I should gain. So for the last part I really need to watch my eating habits. Only 64 days to go!
