Baby Bump Swim

Jody and I went swimmimg today to help relieve some of my growing pains. It's nice to feels weightless for an hour or so. Our boy's kicks feel strange under water. I think he likes the pool. This is something that we are going to do weekly for as long as I can. I truely feel better for a while and it helps me get a bit of exercise without causing any strain on my body. We can't wait to take our son swimming when he turns 6 months old. Jody says our boy needs to know how to swim and skate and that just happens to be Jody's favorite things to do. He is going to make such a good Daddy. :)

Pain in the Butt

And the hips. And the groin. I didn't realize that this growing thing would hurt so much. I've heard women talk about it but to actually go through it is another thing. I keep telling myself that it is all for the good but some days I really hurt. I've been going through the growing pains for a few days now. I can't believe that it is only going to get worse. I don't think I even care about my sore legs anymore. I'll take that over the new pains. Love does really hurt. Jody feels so bad for me. And I think he feels a little helpless because there's nothing he can do for me. I tell him just to give me lots of hugs. Well, in the end this is all worth it. I can't wait to meet you Baby. We both can't.

Piggy Bank

We started a savings for Baby Mitchell. We wanted to have some kind of plan for him for the future. If he is anything like his daddy he will want to play hockey. Guess mommy will need to learn how to skate better. Jody says that I am fine. I use to skate more when I was younger and I liked it. I started skating again but when I got pregnant I stopped. I can't wait to buy him his first pair of skates. He will be so cute. Daddy is definetly an awesome skater for him to learn from. I still remember watching Jody play hockey and it was like he was floating on the ice. He's a beautiful skater. And I mean that in the most masculine way that I can put it. He was meant to skate. I should say is. He hasn't lost his touch. Our boy is going to be an awesome skater if he is like his daddy. I will have to film him on the ice. Either way we will be proud.

Dizzy Girl

I have been feeling very dizzy the past few days. I feel like I just got off a crazy roller coaster ride. Another side effect that can happen in your third trimester. I haven't felt like this since the middle of my first trimester. Could be the lack of sleep that I have been having. Speaking of sleep, I have been having some really strange dreams. Sometimes I can't tell if they are real or not. I have had dreams of our baby boy talking like a grown man. A drunk grown man. What's that about? I've also had dreams of Vampires chasing me wanting to turn my baby and me into one of them. That's got to be from watching too many movies or something. Oh ya, I've also been feeling either our boys head or butt pushing against my rib cage the past week. We went to see the movie "The Wolfman" and through the whole movie he was pushing so hard that it got quite uncomfortable. No matter how I sat in my chair he just wouldn't move. Oh well, not much longer to go.

Counting Sheep

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four...... You get the idea. It is something I've become very good at. Too bad it doesn't actually help me sleep. I can't believe I actually have Insomnia. Me. The one who would fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow and stay asleep till it was time to get up. I've had this for months now but I kept thinking that it would change. Who was I kidding? I know they say that it helps to prepare you for the baby but I could of waited till the last month or so. Well, at least when I have the baby I will be prepared I guess. Or am I kidding myself again? :)

Out with the Old, In with the New

Now that I'm sitting just over 7 months pregnant I have this urge to throw out stuff. Things that I could not of parted with seem to be not as important to me. I guess that's what they call the nesting stage. Too bad I can't move around as well as I use to. I feel like I have sprouted the past few days. Maybe it's my imagination. All I know is that I've been having some serious growing pains. It's hard to believe that I still have more growing to do. My poor boy seems like he's all cramped up in there. Well don't worry my little angel. Once you arrive you will have all the room in the world. And so will I. :)

No BBQ Sauce for These Ribs, Ouch!

Well, I am offically in my third trimester as of today. 7 months pregnant. Where has the time gone? While I say that my ribs are screaming "Please! No more. Help Me!" From being kicked in the ribs and expanding daily for my growing boy, my ribs are taking a beating. That's right ladies. Rib Pain. One of many wonderful experiences before your bundle of joy makes it into this world. The good thing is the pain won't last forever. This Mommy to be can take it. Like I said before, it is all worth it.

Thump Thump, Thump Thump

The best sound in the whole world. The heart beat of our little angel. I could listen to it all day. He is doing very well.Sometimes I wish I could see what he is doing inside there. Today at the doctor's he was moving around so much that my doctor had to keep moving her dobbler because he wouldn't stay in place for very long. Our little angel is a bit of a devil. He gets that from me. I think he like to dance like mommy. Well, you go and get your groove on baby.

Aligator Skin

Who knew pregnancy could give you such dry skin. You can never have enough lotion in the house. But I have been having fun with it. When I use mango lotion I feel like I'm having a fruity coctail. Pomegranate reminds me of spring time. Almond smells like a cherry dessert. And my favorite (and my husbands) has to be Coconut lotion. The smell makes you feel like you are laying on a beach soaking up the warm sun. Everytime I wear that one Jody can't stop smelling me. He says "You smell like the beach. Ah Mexico". He's so funny. He would move us to mexico if he could. :)

Kick Baby Kick

Oh those wonderful love kicks. There is nothing like feeling your unborn bundle of joy learning to move, twist and summersault. Each movement being a brand new experience. Some tickle and some not so much. I am blessed with a gift that was given to me. Watching my hubands face when he see's those love kicks (and punches) is priceless. I just say that our boy is practicing his martial arts moves.
