Bumpdate :: 24 Weeks

6 months.  Yes, I have said that this pregnancy seems like it is draaaagging along, but I am surprised that I am six months pregnant now.  Only 16 weeks left, which I know is probably going to fly by.

I am SUPER excited about Fall being here.  It's the calm after our storm of summer.  We spend more time at home, watch football, fill our house with pumpkin smells and eats... it has easily made it's way into my heart as my fav season.

How far along?
24 weeks.

Total Weight Gain/Loss?
At my Dr. appt. yesterday I had gained 4.5 lbs, so I am just a little under 10 lbs.  I am pretty sure that I gained most of that weight in the last week, lol, bc I had to change my eating habits to make sure I was feeling well.  Still, not bad.

Maternity Clothes?
Even though I am dreading it, I think I am going to have to pick up some new pieces.  Summer weather is soon going to be in the rearview and I don't really have things that are fall friendly and are going to fit this belly of mine.  Anyone want to share theirs with me?? :)

Sleep?
I still can't get enough, but I am thankful that I am not having any trouble sleeping. Very thankful.

Best Moment of the Week?
Pumpkin {decaf} coffee has entered my life!

Movement?
Tons.  This was one thing that made me feel better while I was feeling like crap this past week, she was always moving.  It was like she was telling me, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm ok!"  Jason has been able to feel her a lot this month, he always giggles when she kicks him, it's very cute.

Food Cravings?
No cravings, I have just been stuffing my face with a lot of protein to keep me fueled up each day.

Gender?
Girl.

Labor Signs?
None.

Belly Button?
It's not as "deep" as it normally is, but pretty much looks the same.

What I Miss?
Feeling "normal,"  or good.  I may be a hypochondriac, but that doesn't mean that I like feeling like crap, I hate it.

What I Am Looking Forward To?
Getting started on my rocker/glider project, going to see Bethenny Frankel's talk show next week, Gwen's birthday, and of course FOOTBALL!

Milestones?
I think 6 months is a milestone, it makes me feel much more pregnant.

I haven't heard from Dr. P today, so no news is good news I guess!  I go back in two weeks, just to make sure that I am feeling better.  I don't mind, better safe than sorry.

Saturday Randomness.

I can't believe that Labor Day Weekend is already here, and honestly?!  I couldn't be happier.  I'm done with summer, and ready for fall.  Maybe next year when I am 30, hot, and not knocked up I won't want to see summer go... but for now, I am fine saying goodbye to it.

We are staying home this LDW, which is pretty unheard of for us, but Hubs has to work, the weather is supposed to be crappy, I haven't been feeling the greatest, and we need a break.  Sounds perfect to me.

So, let's be random...

I passed out on Monday while getting Hubs lunch.  Awesome, right?  I think that my blood sugar was low, as I hadn't eaten my own lunch yet, but who knows.  I was scared only for the fact that Gwen was with me, and I didn't want to NOT know about her safety.  So, I locked us both in the bathroom when I felt it start to come on, and called Hubs.  No answer.  At this point I was profusely sweating and starting to lose control so I texted, "Help." He quickly called back, and I told him what was up. 

Thank God he works so close to home.  Seriously, he was there in FOUR minutes.  I started to feel a little better, and ordered myself something and ate while he sat with me.  

I HATE feeling that out of control.  And to be honest, I haven't felt exactly the same since.  I got to the Dr. Tuesday, and am hoping that I am not Hypoglycemic or something.  Cause that would suck.

*****

I am super jealous and kind hatin' on you that already have pumpkin coffee in your life.  I asked my Dunkin if they had it the other day, and you would have thought I asked them for the winning lottery numbers.  Just give me my pumpkin and no one gets hurt, m'kay?

*****

I took my nephew's birth announcement pictures the other day, and I can't wait to share some of them. {I can't share before my sis in law sends them out, that's just rude, lol}  They came out so great, and even though she got pooped on...TWICE, I think she and her husband love them too.  Here's just a little peak:

*****

Not that I want to give her any more attention then she has gotten this week, but can we talk about Miley Cyrus for a second?  Wtf is wrong with that girl?!?  I am sorry, but that "display" she put on at the VMA's was not talent, and frankly, I would have felt more comfortable watching soft core porn on Cinemax at that moment.  And what the hell is with the tongue shit?  Put it back in your mouth child, we all think you look stupid.

Moving on...

*****

Hubs and I are going to do another {small} registry for baby Addison.  I hope that doesn't seem like too much, but people have been asking us what we need/want, and what easier way than to just register.  And that way we can get a discount on whatever isn't bought.  I think it's kinda genius, actually.

*****

In 10 days, I am going to NYC to see Bethenny Frankel's new talk show!  Pretty pumped, not gonna lie.

*****

Next week, I will be in Potty Training Lockdown.  We are not going ANYWHERE until we have mastered the potty.  We are half way there, but we need to buckle down and FOCUS.  My goal was before her 3rd birthday, and that, my friends, is quickly approaching.

*****

Speaking of the birthday... in 16 days, my baby will be THREE years old. {pause for tears}.  I am in shock and denial that she is 3 already.  It's so bittersweet, because she is at an AH-mazing age... yes, there are tantrums and days where I wish I could drink wine with my cereal, but she is so smart and interactive and responsive to the world around her.  She really is just a joy, and honestly my tiny best friend.  Can't wait to celebrate her big day!

Where did the time go?
