Home:
I'm finally to the point where I actually look pregnant and not just like I've had a few too many Oreos. Although I could blame both these days. I feel as though my belly grows a little every night. FINALLY this week the movement has picked up and Sweet Pea has decided to kick and punch and make sure I know He/She (wont have to use that term much longer!) is still there! I've decided that Sweet Pea's favorite time of day is immediately after dinner (obviously like Mama) because that's when the movement is CRAZY! The other night after eating dinner the Hubs and I were sitting on the couch probably watching The Office and he was actually able to feel the baby for the first time. I'm pretty sure baby was doing some jump 'n jacks on the bladder. It was a pretty awesome moment and now we can't sit and watch tv without his hand on the bump just waiting for Sweet Pea's next move!
Work:
The office I was just relocated to is downtown in the city I live in so I am now walking a lot more (usually to get food). As I was in the crosswalk the other day I sneezed (Ok you may think no big deal right?) WRONG. When you're pregnant or maybe just when I'M pregnant you live in constant fear of peeing your pants. I mean seriously...The slightest sneeze and you minus well call it a day! Well I was crossing the crosswalk and sneezed. I did the whole cross your legs in the middle of the road and let the sneezes just roll on out. I ended up being ok this time, but the looks I got from the people waiting for me to cross were PRICELESS!
Food:
Today as I was getting my lunch (I swear I'm usually eating, thinking about eating, or on my way to get something to eat). I couldn't decide if I wanted a tuna sandwhich or a chef salad. The guy working the counter just stared at me while I continued the debate in my head. I decided on BOTH! The guy actually asked me if I just wanted a bag of chips to go with the sandwhich instead of the salad (Oh heck no!) I wanted the salad AND sandwhich. Obviously when I returned to my office I realized I couldn't eat both, but I did my best!
Monday night spin:
I am continuing to take indoor cycling every Monday night in an attempt to keep the body active and hopefully have an "easier" pregnancy, however the other night during class I realized how much my belly has grown. During sprints I just felt as thought I was bouncing all over the place in the bump area. Being the paranoid person I am, I'm figuring out ways to modify so that I don't give the baby motion sickness from within. Spin is an hour long class and the farther along I get the more times I'm sneaking out for "potty breaks". I will keep going as long as the pregnancy lets me, but I see a lot of waddling and peddling side to side in an attempt to not knee the growing belly in my near future.
Tomorrow:
WE FIND OUT SWEET PEA'S GENDER!!!!! and we couldn't be more excited!!!! And I'll be making cookies to CELEBRATE! (Because once again I LOVE food!) Which will it be???
That's all for now folks! Expect a chalkboard update SOON! ;)
