Almost week 19....
Hi everyone! So I never updated my blog on Wednesday like I was suppose to.. whoops!! So here it is, better late than never right? Haha anyways, this week has been pretty good. I was craving more sweets than usual this week (I usually have been craving salty/sour.. which is not like me).
I am feeling the baby move more now, and I absolutely love it! It is an incredible feeling, and my belly is getting bigger, while my back is hurting more and more everyday! I really need a massage, Zach tries, but lets face it... I usually end up in more pain afterwords, haha sorry Zach, love you!
Baby Powell update:
The baby is about the size of a large sweet potato almost the size of a large mango.. CRAZY!! Around 6 to 8 oz. My little pea is getting big! According to the interweb (haha) the fetus has become amazingly mobile, passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching ( I definitely think I've gotten punched a few times!), sucking and swallowing! It's just so amazing!
Me: I'm feeling pretty darn good.. with an incredible appetite... I want to eat constantly!!
Back in my first trimester, spent heaving over the toilet bowl basically the whole time, other people constantly told me that the end was near and that I would feel much better with more energy in the second trimester. I didn’t believe one word of it, I was miserable!! But this week I realized they were right! Besides my back aches, I'm feeling great! And feeling tiny movement from my baby just lifts my spirits if I ever start to feel crummy! Besides the fact that everyday I wake up I feel like my belly grew, along with my boobs... they are definitely growing, I haven't really had any other symptoms this week, except I'm slowly starting to notice a disturbing/annoying pregnancy symptom.. my belly is.. well.. getting hairy! eww I know that is gross to think about, if you don't ever want to read my blogs after telling you that I understand! Haha.
Believe it or not I'm so glad I'm actually starting to "look" pregnant now, and can't wait to get even bigger so that no one mistakes me for having a beer belly or cookie belly haha! I want to look pregnant! And Now I am! I know that probably sounds weird that I want to look big, but its true! I like knowing my baby is growing. But with getting bigger means more attention to my belly which makes me either embarrassed or uncomfortable, depending on who the person is, I don't want someone coming and feeling my tummy.... that just makes me feel.. well uncomfortable! But i love of course when Zach rubs the belly (or close friends/family!) but other people.. please.. don't make me feel awkward!
Eating:
Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes! That's all I want! Either it's french fires, potato chips, or actual potatoes, I just always want them. I made an amazing pot of homemade potato soup.. (but I destroyed the kitchen in the process..whoops, oh-well it got cleaned up) anyways, I thought i would last us all week, but Zach and I ate in all in two days! Also, Zach makes amazing fried potato slices that I will try to talk him into making this evening, and 5 guys french fries are the bomb diggigdy! I haven't really ate any lemons this week, although I have so many fresh organic lemons in the fridge, haha one day last week I bought huge sacs of them, I couldn't get enough, but not so much this week.. weird. It's strange how my cravings change.
Life update:
Well this weekend Zach and I went through what seemed like a billion houses, it was exhausting and frustrating. Some of the houses we looked at were in beautiful neighborhoods and beautiful from the outside but omg we walked inside these houses expecting them to be nice, and they were trashed! I was gagging walking in some, there was strong animal urine smell, trash left in rooms, and walls stained yellow from smokers..oh the houses we went through...some were just horribe. There were a couple nice ones, but nothing that we were like "this is the one"... but then luckily we did end up finding an amazing house! Perfect size, beautiful, nice neighborhood, updated with new carpet and fresh pain, and ready to be moved in! Although it was a little more than our price rang we put an offer in hoping, hoping, hoping, to get it, we are prepared to counter offer too! This is THE house, I know I shouldn't get attached since there's a good chance we wont get it, but it's so hard not too, it's perfect! Plus it had a big walk in closet in the master.. haha!! I love a big closet! I'm not getting my hopes up... ugh lets face it I am.. I want the house! We will know at the end of the week if they except or if we need to counter offer.
Also for this week... It's Zach's birthday Monday, Valentines days Tuesday (Valentines day is the day Zach asked me to be his girlfriend 4 years ago!), and we find out about the house and we find out the sex of the baby on THURSDAY!! OH my I just cannot wait!!! SO many things happening.. I'm loving life right now.. besides the stress and annoyance of school, things are peachy! Now if we get this house life would be prefect... I'm desperate to move!!
I am now undecided about what I think the sex of the baby is, at first I thought girl, then I had that dream that told me boy, but now I'm thinking girl again.. for no apparent reason..I'm just thinking girl. Ha. But like I said before I have no preference as long as I have a healthy baby! I just want to know so I can prepare and buy adorable boy or girl clothing and decorate the nursery in our new home!
So Big week this week, and I can't wait!
What do YOU think I'm having?
Boy? Girl? Alien?
