Belly Comparison

Okay, it's hard for me to notice my belly growing probably because I see it all the time so I just want to put 2 pictures side by side for kicks to see how much I've grown so far. :-) 13 weeks to go!

Wedding fun!

My Uncle Jerry got married this past weekend. It was so much fun and I'm so happy for them! :-) Welcome to the fam, Vero! It was great to see family that I haven't seen, well, for about a year! I can't wait until we have our own place so we can have holidays there and hopefully get the family together at least once a year, if not more.

Dancing while prego is very different. There was more jiggle, more rest needed, and less twirling. And I still managed to trip over my own flip flops when I got home! Oh well! Ha ha! Everything is fine. It was a fall onto my knees, so just a couple of sore bruises which made yoga a little harder this week. :-) Kali is still kicking away at me pretty much on schedule. This time, the music didn't seem to make her move as much. I wonder if it's because they didn't have heavy bass going. It's a nice trial run for Tina's bachelorette next month!

We registered for our baby classes! Our first one is next Wednesday: Tips for Breastfeeding. Jon will be coming with me even though he doesn't need to one this one. But we think it's a good idea just so he knows what's going on and why I'm doing whatever it is I'll be doing. I can't believe I'm 14 weeks away! It all seems to be going by so fast! This summer is jam packed with a bachelorette/wedding for my bff in Oregon, 3 baby showers, baby classes, birthdays, and still working on the room. My calendar is usually pretty open but it's slowly filling up!

My unemployment will run out in about a month, month and a half. Hopefully I'll get extended. I don't know who will hire me at this point in my pregnancy but I've started looking to see what's out there. The other thing I'm worried about is how it'll affect my medi-cal coverage. Would it disappear? Sometimes you have to wait a probation period before you're offered benefits at a new job, usually 90 days which would put me at my due date! I'm trying not to stress too much over it and have faith that things will work out how they should.

Happy thoughts and positivity will pull me through! :-)

My First Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's Day! My first Mother's Day. :-) My in-laws gave me the sweetest card in the morning. It almost brought tears to my eyes! Then when Jon came home, he gave me a rose and a carnation for Kali. Awwww! Then we had dinner reservations at Black Angus, yum! Jon then gave me a Mother's Day card that was sweet and fun too! It played the Charlie Brown song! Hee hee! It was nice to be able to celebrate it even though Kali isn't born yet. But I am already taking care of her by keeping her safe in my tummy, making my appointments, and staying healthy so it makes sense. :-) Now what to do for Jon on Father's Day???

Latest ultrasound pics

She just keeps on growing! :-) She's still on track, weighing in at 1 pound, 3 ounces. Her legs are measuring a little long right now. Maybe she'll have super model height! LoL! Okay, okay, probably not. It's more likely a growth spurt or maybe she'll be like her daddy and have long legs for her height when she grows up.

19 weeks, 5 days old:



22 weeks old:
It looks like she might've had enough of pics and kindly showed the ultrasound tech what she thought of it all with a finger gesture. Ha ha!

More belly pics

I'm trying to keep up with posting the Buddha belly pics but I've been busy trying to get our room ready for Kali, get my exercises in, rest (lots of rest! ha ha!), and planning my trips up to Oregon for my BFF's bachelorette (which I'm helping to plan) and her wedding (I'm matron of honor!). It seems like I'm dragging on it all but I'm doing the best I can. Things definitely take a lot more out me than before I was pregnant. Some people think I'm nuts for wanting to go up to Oregon twice during my third trimester but I really feel like I'll be fine. So far my pregnancy's been going well and unless the doctor says no, then I'm going to try. Obviously if something doesn't feel right, I'll turn my car around. I won't be traveling alone and I'll be taking it easy. I listen to my body pretty well and know when it's too much.

So no worries people! Just keep sending those positive vibes! :-)

Week 20: HALFWAY THERE!
