32 wk 5 d appt..

so I had the midwife Marie again, and she told me i have gained 34 lbs os far and i need to start doing someting about it. idk what to do. im not eating bad.. besides the occasional icecream, and i dont even have a lot. but, she told me to take walks, and go for swims... neither of which i want to do. we dont have a pool, and its so hot out lately, i cant even think about walking.

my upper arms are so chubby now, and my thighs, and my face. :( when noah comes, i think im going to sign up at lucille roberts or something. i know ill be tired, and sleep deprived, but i need to get back to the way i was pre-pre-pregnancy. like 115. that would be nice. i just feel so lumpy. yea, lumpy is a good word.

well, when noahs here, ill be too busy to eat a lot, and ill be getting a workout lifting him up over and over.. haha- this is me tryign to rationalize how ill lose weight after hes born. If i breastfeed ALL THE TIME maybe ill burn more calories. fat baby = skinny mommy. haha.

ok, enough of this pity party. i am beautiful and pregnant, and this is how Im supposed to get. soft and lumpy for baby.

hmph. that didnt make me feel better.

bye for now.

Baby shower pictures

32 week survey

How far along? 32 weeks. I think sincei feel like time is flying right now, in the last few weeks it will crawllll byyyy

Total weight gain/loss: 163....
Maternity clothes? nothing new

Stretch marks? ugh, a halo around my belly button. went out and bought more bio-oil. :(

Sleep: first charlie horse in a long time in my calf this morning. and my pelvic pain is really bad at night.. but thats the ONLY thing i have to complain about really.

Best moment this week: my baby shower! :)
Movement: a lotttt. hes so funny sometimes. jay said he was playing tag with him. saying "your it!" and noah would kick him back haha.
Food cravings: ive been making chocolate chip banana pancakes this past week. never really liked pancakes before.. love em now!
Gender: little boy
Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? just flat really
What I miss: not having cellulite and stretch marks everywhere, not weighing 160 lbs... (same)

What I am looking forward to: seeing his little face, and holding his hand for the first time. losing this weight and cellulite.

Milestones: dont think so. just cant believe im 8 weeks from my due date already! jays dad said he has a feeling noah will come 11 days early.. which would be 09/09/09.. haha thatd b awesome.

yay shower tomorrow..................

So my mom and gma are hosts for my shower. my mom is including me in everything. she calls me up to see if i want to go with her to order the food, to buy decorations, to meet with the guy to get the keys to the place she rented.. etc. So she tells me my g-ma gave her $600 to spend on the shower, and whatever is left over would go to LO. well i asked my mom today out of curiosity how much she had left, and she said $10. wtf. how did she spend that much money on 35 guests??? I'm afraid she spent the money on herself.. which she tends to do with other peoples money.

I have issues with my mom already. when my father passed away 7 years ago she was expected some money to come out of the settlement. they were divorced 2 years before he died..so i dont know why she thought she was going to get any money. but anyway, now she demands that my sister and i give her 40k out of our money so she can put a down payment on a house.. well ive given her 10k so far, and she has NO MONEY LEFT. and now she expects me to pay her more, even though we have a baby coming in 2 months!

I so dont want to stress about this. but Itd be nice to have extra cash around for after the shower, to get things we still need (which is a lotttt no one bought anything we needed off our registry.. besides bottles, pump and boppy)

ok im done venting..

my left big toe has been twitching for the past 2 days.. so strange

oh, and sleep is officially uncomfortable for me :(

not to mention all the fleas in this stupid house.. we're flea bombing it this weekend, thank god

i feel absolutely fat. and i am. so that makes sense.

my baby shower is this saturday, and i have a tank top to wear, just to show off my lovely lumpy chunky arms.

sigh. goodbye till sunday

Dear Noah

Mommy here, just wanted to say heyyy and hope you enjoyed harry potter last night. It was pretty loud.. sorry. So, about you coming out to meet us, can you come in early september? like between the 6-12th? just not the 11th.. that would be a depressing birth day. but anyways, mommy and daddy are soo excited to hang out with you and take care of you and kiss you. your going to be so loved by everyone.

belly stretchies :(

i have discovered little stretchies on my belly, just to the right of my belly button. :( wahhhh. he always lays right there and it probably was stretching out a lot from him. i hope by the time I deliver there wont be a crapload of stretchies.

breastfeeding dream

so i had a dream that I had litle noah, and we were trying to breastfeed. the first try, he just bit my nipple and i started to bleed. then my mom was like "try to football hold" but i couldnt cause my boob wasnt cooperating, and my boppy didnt come yet (I remember being SO frustrated that i didnt have my boppy, haha). so then we tried again, and for some reason I pumped my other boob, and when I would try to breastfeed him, i would get confused and give him the bottle, or a part of the pump.. it was so strange. it was like the pump/bottles just made everything soo much more annoying.

now im thinking about not pumping or using bottles at all. i dont mind being the only person that can feed noah, and im sure jay doesnt mind either. it would just be convenient if im taking a shower, or out grocery shopping or something.

I really hope breastfeeding isnt that hard. in my dream i was sooooo frustrated.

we'll see i guess.

avon

so since I feel like a total waste of life, well besides the whole 'making a baby' part of my life, I have become an Avon representative! Hopefully this will keep me busy, and make some extra money :)

interesting..

like ive posted about before.. I havent been sick at all since I got pregnant. I just noticed though, I havent had any headaches, or even the sore neck problems I used to get on a weekly basis.

thats all haha

meaning of names

so I looked up the meaning of Noah Robert, and noah means Peaceful, and Robert means Bright Fame. interesting. I kinda wish Robert meant something better, but I guess since it wasnt "invented" till the 1800's, then its not biblical or anything, so it doesnt really even matter. thats all. :)

oh and just a little update: my belly seemed to grow a lot over night. I went to go to the bathroom at 2am and my belly looked huge.
