Lots of stuff just floating around… so of course… the best way to remedy that is to write a “Floating Thoughts” blogpost. So… here goes:
- I can’t believe Chance is 3 years old. Where did the time go?
- Today, my calendar says I’m 29 weeks and 5 days pregnant (if you count November 15th being my due date)… but I’m REALLY 30 weeks and 6 days pregnant (since I have a scheduled C-Section on the 7th).
- My hair won’t hold color as well as it usually does. My hair stylist says it may be because I’m pregnant.
- Speaking of pregnant – today was my glucose test appointment. I get the results in a couple of days, but I weigh 146 lbs (that’s 26 lbs more than “normal” but 8 lbs less than the same time last time being preggo with Chance) and my belly measures bigger than last time too. So, I weigh less, but the baby is bigger. GREAT!
- We took Chance along to thank our Doctor, Tim Stewart, for taking him out of mommy’s tummy 3 years ago. Cute.
- Matt and I ordered my new MacBook Pro today in our service planning meeting. I am SOOO excited for my new laptop!!! No longer will I be confined to our home office.
- My back pretty much hurts all the time, non-stop, but I only have 10 more weeks so I try not to complain.
- My awesome husband got pedicures together AND he took me shopping for new preggo clothes (though I made sure I could still wear them after I had the baby too) this past weekend. He actually WENT shopping with me, which hasn’t happened in FOREVER. I feel like a new woman… sort of.
- I just scheduled our newborn photo shoot with Kimberly for November. She is SOOO good. I am so excited, I’m pretty unsure of what to do with myself.
- I really miss my friends and team members at Sunset Pres.
- Pre-school starts in 8 days for Chance… but tomorrow is our first meeting with his teacher.
- Brian and I are finally narrowing down our list of baby names, though we can’t seem to agree strongly on any of them.
- I really can’t believe how long the waiting line is to adopt overseas right now. I’m a bit upset because children need to be home and times a wastin’.
- We still haven’t started a baby journal for baby #2. We started one for Chance the first month we found out we were pregnant.
- I know most people don’t like their in-laws, but I think mine are ridiculously AWESOME! I love that I can sit down with either of them and talk, from the heart, for hours, totally being my authentic self and know they love me unconditionally as their own. I want to be THAT kind of in-law to my daughter-in-laws one day. Is that weird?
- Here’s a list of things I can’t wait to do once I have this baby:
- Go hiking
- Play the guitar without the “slope”
- Go snowboarding
- Work out & run
- Go camping
- Wakeboard
- Breathe a deep breath again
- Here’s a picture of me at 29 weeks and 5 days (and yes, that’s one of the cute new shirts I got this weekend – it’s organic cotton, if you care):
And there you go.
You look amazing! What are you doing differently this time, than last? I am determined to keep my weight at a reasonable level this pregnancy and could use all of the tips you have.
Great choice on a photographer. I remember her from a photography board that I used to be on. I am sure she will take awesome pics of you and your new little one.
Love the pictures in the background. ; ) Fun to see them on your wall.
Thanks, Serena! I’m glad you got to see all the photos you took on our wall. I didn’t even think about that.
So, honestly… other than throwing up everything I ate and didn’t eat for the first 4.5 months, I haven’t done anything different from the first pregnancy. I actually eat more often than I did last time, and I think I drink a lot more water this time. Last time, water made me nauseated so I had juice. This time, a good friend said to try ice water. She was right… I prefer it over any other drink mostly because everything else has an aftertaste of some sort.
Sorry… I wish I had more tips.
I’m excited to use Kimberly too. Of course, if you were still in business, I wouldn’t have had to find a new photographer in the first place
You’re cute!
P.S. Baby #2 has a baby journal started.. it’s currently in China. She’s gonna send it back to me.. and then I’ll send it to you.
But it’s a ghetto journal. Just a notebook. We’re sorry. I mean, Renee’s sorry because…she’s the one who didn’t buy a REAL journal. Haha!
Oh, and please don’t be a crazy parent when you meet the teacher. We just restarted classes and I am dealing with crazy parents every day. Ugh!
Oh geez. I’m gonna go out and get a real journal now before this kid gets a complex.
Crazy parent – huh… we told the teacher to beat Chance if he gets out of line. Is that bad?
So for the “go snowboarding” one, you and Brian might have to come over to Bachelor and ride with me!
Aww! look at you, you’re so cute pregnant!!!
And I can’t wait to see the little one!
