My hubby knows how to make this prego lady happy.....fire, lighter fluid (which I went easy on because of the baking babes) and treats, lots and lots of treats!
*POP!.....goes the belly. I looked down the other day and thought what the heck just happened, my belly popped again. And I know its just going to keep doing it over and over again until its huge but still! I look at ladies that are 40 weeks preggers and I want to cry for them and then I realize that is going to be me and I want to cry for me! :(
*I know it will be a while until I fit into my clothes again but I am already missing them!!! I was looking at pre-pregnancy pictures the other day I kept thinking oh that is cute, I should wear that and then I had to remind myself the belly will have none of it. :( Oh well, little man is worth it. Just hope all the walking, elliptical and yoga help in the end!!!
Don't you just L-O-V-E my lazy eye belly button. Every time I look at it I seriously crack up. I have hiatal hernia on the right side of my belly button. As my tummy gets bigger the lazy eye gets worse. Fingers crossed it doesn't POP out.
This was such a fun appointment. Jon and I were able to see how big little man has gotten. Sure I feel him kick like crazy but to see him kick his leg over and over again when the doctor is trying to measure his femur, it becomes so real and quite amusing....He definitely already has a mind of his own. He is measuring 2 days ahead on his legs, heads, heart, etc. But he is measuring the biggest around his tummy. Our doctor was teasing us, saying we are going to have a fat baby. At one point we were all laughing so hard he had to stop the ultrasound. Later in the ultrasound I asked Dr. Ollerton if I could get a profile pic. As he tried to get the picture, little man kept turning his head.....such a freakin bugger!!!! But do you see that profile picture, I am in love with that little face. :) We did get one piece of bummer news, I have complete placenta previa. The doctor is pretty sure that as my uterus grows, the placenta will move up because it is mainly concentrated on the right side. Right now I am on pelvic restriction which isn't too bad. We will have another ultrasound at 28 weeks to see how the placenta previa has progressed and because our DVD didn't record we get to do another full ultrasound....love that part! He will be so much bigger at 28 weeks!
We love a get away at our house. My mom and Rick generously let us tag along on their Mexican vaca again. :). This trip we really just wanted to veg. Jon had been feeling pretty run down with his school & work schedule and I wanted a nice rest before the baby came so we headed out to California (for our friend Garrett's wedding) and then on to Mexico. We were able to spend a little time with Jon's parents, sisters and their families in California as well which was great.
The Resort It was our first time in Cabo and the water was beautiful, temps were hot and the pool nice and cold. Jon liked the water slide at the resort, shocker I know. Only downer, they allowed people to smoke at the pool. Which is annoying for anyone that doesn't smoke but really annoying when you have a bun in the oven. My mom got super protective of the little guy and me and we kept moving around. :) She's such a good MaDeb.
Pool time This is where we spent the majority of our time. Nice & relaxing.
"If you like pina coladas..." We went to this restaurant quite a few times and they had the best pina coladas. They were huge and cheap. We pretty much had them every night.
The Crazy Waves The first few days in Cabo, there were small waves but then three days in these huge waves started to roll in. It's kind of hard to see in the picture but the waves were a good 20 to 30 feet at times and would wash up to the hotel baring walls and they would sound like thunder. Really fun to watch.
Oh The Buses!!!! The buses were crazy. They did not have shocks what so ever. So every tiny bump felt like a mountain but they were cheap and went where we needed to go.
Ice Cream...Yummy! You can't go on vacation with my mom and not get ICE CREAM. Not going to lie it was way yummy :)
The Marina One night we decided to cruise the marina, which turned into being stalked by every restaurant to eat there. But we still had a good time.
Lovers Beach & Divorce Beach I loved this place. It was right across the Sea of Cortez. But because of the crazy waves they could not bring the boats onto Lovers Beach so we decided to hike over the rocks (even my mom with her back and knee and Rick with his knee) to both beaches. It was beautiful! I loved the rock formations and amazing water. This lady loves a little adventure. Snorkling
Walking the Streets Most nights after dinner we walked the streets of Cabo which was a nice way to get a little exercise and see the city. Don't worry we would eventually catch the bus back....this pregger lady would get tired! :)
