It's Not You, It's Me.

I have loved Irony ever since I learned about it my Freshmen year. We learned about it by watching The Princess Bride and breaking apart different scenes. I have a liking for it in a weird way because I feel it is a bit sarcastic. (I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else, but it does in my head. Hopefully for you, too.)

Let me share a little bit of what happened to me yesterday.

I have been on a Dr. Pepper kick. Can't stop wanting it and craving that sweetness. I just want more and more and heck, our Little Jewel seems to like it too.

Well now that I am in my 3rd Trimester and my weight gain is going to be increasing the most these last 3 months as She grows bigger and bigger...I don't really want to grow bigger and bigger myself.
My doctor said I am a pound or two under what I should be and I thought that was good news for the end...giving me a little bit of a buffer.
Granted, whatever happens is for the baby and my body will do what it needs to in order to provide the best home for her now.

Anywho, I texted Nik yesterday at 10:56am (this is important) that I want his help to keep me from that yummy liquid. No more running to Sonic or Circle K for a quick fix. I told him that if I need the caffeine for a headache (happened a lot in my 1st trimester) because Tylenol doesn't work for me, that I am only allowed a small can of Dr. Pepper. I just don't want my weight gain to increase because of something dumb and avoidable.

Well...at 11:00am I get a text from SONIC! "Today @Sonic $.99 Rt44 Soft Drinks ALL DAY! 3/31 @ part loc."

WTHeck!!! Are you kidding me?!?!
haha...I got quite a good laugh outta that and immediately texted Nik what just happened.

Oh Dr. Pepper...It's not you, it's me.

The End.

3rd Trimester...Ready or Not, Here We Come!

Wow.

Is this really happening?!

I cannot believe it.

I remember being in my 1st Tri begging for it to be over

and that 13 weeks took FOREVER!

Now I only have 12 left?!

agh!

I say I have 11 weeks and 6 days left

because it would be awesome for our Baby Girl to arrive on June 22nd.

If she comes early, fine by me, but here is my silly reason for the 22nd.

I was born September 22nd.

My next sister, Carrot (Caren), was born December 22nd.

Then Bagel (Baylee), the next sister, was born November 22nd.

And then the failure begins...

...ok, it was because of the doctor,

And it would have worked but things were overlooked at the time

So, Boog (Hannah), my last sister, was born July 26th...

...although the doctor admitted she could have arrive on the 22nd because she WAS full grown.

WTHeck!?!?!

Wanna know how we know...

...July 26th she arrived at 9lbs 11oz.

HUGE!

Well it just so happened that my "official due date" is June 24th

But I told the doctor,

Because he is the same one that delivered me and all my sisters

and knows the "tradition"

I told him if she is still not here by June 22nd, I want her then.

He smiled and nodded, saying he can make that happen!

=]

Silly??

I don't think so.

Just so happened that way!

People do fun things with names...

like get this...

I just so happened to be born on the 22nd

and then Caren just so happened on the 22nd as well.

According to my mom, that just worked out that way.

So when she was having the next one, she tried to have Baylee on the 22nd as well...

...walking around the mall the night before and such.

So our names went D - C - B - and then that was it because we couldn't agree on an A name.

So Hannah is as close as we will get to an A name.

Anywho...people do fun things with names, and if it so happens I can have our children on the 22nd

of any given month....you better believe I will do that.

Silly? Yes.

Fun? You bet!

Anywho....enough with that sillyness.

This has been one fun ride.

How I only have 83ish days left, I have no idea!

Our Little Jewel has been getting stronger and stronger.

It has been fun and uncomfortable all at the same time.

But I am so happy to be here experiencing this.

Last night I was on the phone with Nik as he was driving home from work

And She had the hiccups.

It was so cute!

You could see a steady beat right on my belly.

It lasted just over 3 minutes.

It was so cute.

I interrupted Nik real quick to tell him and he just laughed and smiled.

He is so in love with her already!

Oh, and not sure if you remember me mentioning my lower back and hips always hurting...

...well Nik and I bought a mattress topper and it has made a HUGE difference.

I no longer wake up in pain.

It is wonderful!

Wish we would have gotten on sooner

But we didn't. Oh well.

I'm happy now!

And Nik says his back hasn't hurt as badly either.

YAY!

But now I have a question...

...and if you are still reading this, yay!

Does gravity effect the baby while in the womb?

Honestly.

Lately I have felt her feet on my right side

and when I lay on my right side (just for a little bit)

she gets her tap moves on like crazy...

...or so it feels like.

And it REALLY hurts!

Such a weird feeling.

So I will then roll over to my left and I stay that way 95% of the time.

Well, is she landing on her head with a headstand or what?

Might be a silly question,

But I really wanna know.

So...let me know what you think or if you really know the answer.

I guess that is all.

Thanks for your attention.

So excited to meet this little girl....but right now I gotta go feed her.

Yay for breakfast!

*And sorry I don't go through and proof read it before submitting it

So hopefully it makes sense.

Just what is happening in this Pregnant Brain of mine.

Loves!
