Exercise Schmexercize

I looked at how many babies I had left on my ticker and said fuck, I really need to start exercising. I ran half a mile in 6 minutes, I used to run a whole one in 8. I was def out of breath, but I didn't want to overdo it.

Today I did two comcast 10 min baby jaunts. I feel like I didn't do shit, so I will increase my running game soon. My only problem is I do not wash my hair everyday and what will I do when I sweat like a dog after a run?? So I guess I'll just run on days I will wash my hair.

The whole reason I want to is because (duh) I want to be in shape but even more importantly, it is proven to make labor easier.

To do list:
- sign up for a birthing class
- make a list for baby shower invites
- put more things on target registry/find another place (?)
- sell stuff to make money/space for baby room

How could we resist?!

We went to target to register some more stuff and I fell in love with these and had to get them! There was only one pair!!

Dirty Shirts

I have dirtied many shirts this week. I blame it on pregnancy. I was at the mall and saw a free godiva white-chocolate covered strawberry and had to steal take it. It was SOOO GOOD. I had never had one actually. Next thing i knew, I had strawberry juices ALL over my all white shirt.

This whole week, anytime I cooked, my white wife beaters had some type of spill on them. Maybe from splashing from the cooking, even so, I guess when I had a flat tummy, I was better able to dodge food stains.

In other news, I am starting to feel baby's schedule of when he is awake/kicking. Usually every night before bed, sometimes in the morning when I am waking up, and usually around lunch time, as of late.

Lastly, I got an iphone. I gave in! My "reasoning" (a.k.a. excuses) involved needing to get on the internet in emergencies (which did happen a lot, and I would call my brother and always ask him to look something up for me), being in labor and delivery and waiting around maybe? Soon, I will need a glucose test which requires drinking some nasty thing and waiting around in the docs office to have blood tested again, the pictures and cool apps, and lastly, I needed a new phone, had an upgrade, and it was only $99. Hopefully I will be good about NOT dropping this phone!!

21w3d

Not the greatest pic, and Mike and I agree I look a bit bigger in the picture than I do in real life.

I don't think I ever blogged about the AWFUL sonogram I got to confirm it's a boy. The lady was a bitch and wouldn't let me look at the screen. When I asked her if I could see a profile shot, she told me no, I got a good one last time. I told her that actually his hand is on his face, though you can't see too well in the picture, and she said "No, I saw them, they looked beautiful." And she never showed me. I don't really think she knew what she was doing.

Now for the easier to read than paragraph facts:

- When I get full, my back hurts.
- At work, my back ends up hurting really bad sometimes (often in the middle of it)
- My feet hurt already after walking too long, maybe due to sandals + excess weight
- I've finally started to exercise more by walking
- I am starting to become more emotional, I def cry easier now
- I can't wait to meet him!
- We can sometimes see him kick, part of my stomach just moves up a little, it's weird!
- I feel like I'm starting to get more tired again
- There is a birds nest on the small tree right next to my patio, am I contagious? ;)
- Speaking of other living things, I tried to save this huge beetle the other night at 11 p.m., I am NOT one of those people as I can't deal with insects, but sometime WEIRD got into me!!

There's no way nice to put this...

but the baby is soooo low all of a sudden it feels like gas bubbles but way below my belly button! It feels soooo weird!

Halfway Mark!

-I am officially at the halfway mark today, AND he's OFFICIALLY a he. Still don't know a name yet, I don't think about it too often to be honest.

-I'm still not that much bigger, people say I look small for where I am, but I measure correctly.

-Bog is still stupid and needs to be trained better. Although, I think he knows because when we go for a walk and someone walks by, he sometimes growls, where as before he would wag his tail and try to be pet by strangers.

-Today I scheduled a 4D ultrasound for only $160 which includes a dvd and 8 black and white photos!! AUg 30th can't wait!!

-I have a horrible sweet tooth.

I swear today

my belly got noticeably bigger, in one day...or in a couple hours? I didn't feel it was this big at work.

Belly pic 19 weeks 1 day!

granted i'm sitting so it looks bigger.
