I am so late with my update this week. I probably have attempted
to write my full post 4 times this week and got nowhere. The first time I
managed to get a few sentences in. Second time I didn’t get any further than
opening up Word. Don’t know what has gotten into me.
I think being sick had something to do with it. I got sick
last Thursday, with what seemed to be a cold and didn’t seem to be as bad as it
could be. Instead of going away it prolonged and turned into a wonderful double
ear infection and sinus infection. And I thought April meant the warmth was
here and that no more being sick for me. Well, I was wrong. Yes, it is April… but no it has not been
warm, and no I still had to get sick at least once before spring.
Not to get into this week, but I ended up getting
antibiotics for it and in the process of getting better. Luckily the weather
forecast from this point on seems to be a little friendlier, and I am hoping it
will stay that way.
In the beginning of the week I weight 156.2. So I gained 3.8
pounds this week. Keep getting fatter and heavier. SO HEAVY! Did not expect it
to be this difficult so early. I was thinking it would be heavy in the last
month… not in the last 3!!
One thing I did not mention last week is my crazy cravings
that definitely have not stopped. I have been eating things that I never loved,
or even hated at one point, and suddenly I think they are the best foods in the
world. The funniest thing is that these foods are my hubby’s favorite foods.
Definitely Papa’s boy growing in there.
Hershey’s. I hate Hershey’s. I think it is cheap chocolate.
I am very picky (this is non pregnant- general me) when it comes to my
chocolate. I love Swiss chocolate- LINDT. And dove. I do not like Russian
chocolate and do not like Hershey’s. We were at the store and suddenly I saw a Hershey’s
bar and wanted it like crazy. I ended up getting 3 of those extra large- king
size bars. Within 1.5 days there were
all devoured by me. Yup… this is for someone who hates this kind chocolate.
Herring. Now, Herring is nice and all… I can eat it if I
have to but I am not a big fan of it. Zhenya loves it though!!!! He was having
some the other day, and I just out of pure curiosity decided to give it a try.
OMG!!!! BEST thing in the WORLD! So yes, now I like herring apparently. And
being the non-soda person I am… I love ginger ale now. Another one of hubby’s
favorites. I am telling you, if non pregnant me were to look at myself right
now, I am sure I would be disgusted with the beast who now eats, herring,
hershey’s and drinks ginger ale. Who am I anymore?!
Going back to the heavy subject. I don’t remember if I
complained about this last time, but oh boy… it is getting uncomfortable to walk
to sit, to sleep… to do anything. I have lost some hours of sleep this week due
to being purely uncomfortable. And yes I tried all the pillow tricks… I am just
too heavy and I don’t have enough pillows, and our queen sized bed is
apparently too small for me now.
On the bright side, Zhenya’s cousin from Russia has been
ever so kind to “shower” us with some baby gifts lately and we are beyond
excited and grateful. Even though our shower isn’t until May 19… we are already
getting showered with gifts ;)
She bought us our STROLLER! An amazing one too! It is one of
those travel systems. Graco. And it is BEAUTIFUL! We are truly in love with it.
Zhenya is just as excited as I am. It was shipped to us last week and now we
can’t stop looking at it and rocking it and pushing it around, pretending our
little one is in there already. Call us crazy, but we have baby fever!! :)
She also ended up getting me a body pillow to help with my
sleeping issues, which has been helping slightly! And she was ever so kind to get
us a co sleeper! I am kind of calm now… because if I end up going into labor at
any point we have all the big baby essentials.
I think last week in general we have acquired a lot of stuff.
We got a changing table and I decided to go through the several bags of clothes
we have acquired already to see what we have. Basically up to 6 months we have
more than enough clothing!!! Baby can wear probably 8 different outfits a day
and will be all set. Seriously! I actually went and removed some clothing items
from our registry! We still need things like blankets and hats and socks and
stuff, but as far as clothes! More than enough!
Speaking of registry and baby shower…I started working on
invitations this week. I wasn’t planning on handing out physical invitations
and I would just do word of mouth and a facebook event. But then I was handed 2
packages of invitations that I can make use of… and started thinking when
giving out so much information ( time, place and where we are registered)
people are so going to forget. So I started working on the invites to hand out
to people who don’t have facebook basically. It is still a longs way away but I
am getting pretty excited.
I am kind of in a daze being that I am doing this update
really late and probably leaving things out, oh well.
The last thing I wanted to mention was baby footsies! I have
been feeling them little feet kick me! Legit little feet! Our little man is
getting bigger and stronger day by day, that I can feel for sure. This is
making me so anxious to meet him already and kiss those little footsies I am
feeling! Ahh!!
Overall, that is pretty much it. I am in the third trimester
for sure now so now the countdown will slowly begin with 12 more weeks to go.
Seems so little… yet still so much more to wait!
