The joys of pregnancy

I was pretty thrilled when 5 months had passed and my pregnancy was relatively mild, but I guess no momma gets off Scott free, and I found out first hand by getting probably one of THE worst pregnancy symptoms EVER!! I won't bore you with the gory details, but all I can say is I doubt child labor is worse than my experience this weekend (let's just say I woke up more than one night sobbing in pain), lucky for me my sweet husband took great care of me and did anything he could to help me feel better. I'm a lucky girl. I def can't wait for baby O to get here (for more reasons than one :) haha)

I guess I'll post some preggo belly pictures soon...

Baby "O" update

We had our 20 week appointment today (although I'm 21 weeks), and everything looks great. Measurements are right on track, estimated due date is right on and no cleft palate! Its so fun to get to see him in there and know everything is ok with his developments, It's also fun to see their movements and personalities emerge a bit. Today he was really stubborn and it was difficult to get the views we needed to take his measurements but it was funny when the ultra sound tech would put the wand on the top of his head he would pull his hand up and swipe at where the pressure was, as if saying " get this thing off my head!".
My sister came to the ultra sound appointment with us today, it was nice to have her experience it with us.
We are so excited for him to get here, and I can't wait to see what the little man looks like!

Movements

I can't decide if it's weird or not that I can't feel baby move yet... I'll be 20 weeks this sunday and I don't know if I haven't actually felt him move or if I just don't know how to identify the things I'm feeling anyway? All the articles I read say you should start feeling them by now or soon, but the way they describe the movements as a fluttering feeling don't ring a bell to anything I feel on the daily. This baby business can be confusing! Thank goodness for google.
Next ultra sound will be December 7th about a month since we found out our little one is a boy, I can't wait to see him again and how much he has grown!

O B G

Hello everyone who might read this blog! It has been quite sometime since I have posted anything to my blog and for that I am sorry and have somewhat of an excuse, Darin and I are expecting our first non k9 child! We found out back in august and I am now 18 weeks pregnant and it's already been determined it is a little boy!
Baby was not planned or expected but we are so excited and couldn't feel more blessed!
I'll try to get back into the blogging groove and keep everyone posted on his progress, but for now here is your update!

P.s. O. B. G isn't supposed to be an abbreviation for OBGYN , it's baby boys initials. ;)

MOVING DAY!

awakening

hello blogger.com , It's been a little bit since my last post ( I'm sure you missed me).
Lately I have been doing a lot of soul searching and working a lot on my individual growth, as I've gotten older I've realized how much I enjoy reading books (and not your typical fictional novels, I'm talking NON fiction, i know right, BIG GIRL books) I like informing myself,opening and expanding my mind. It really feels good to be able to take control of your life and figure out what direction you wanna take it. I have come to realize something about myself, I thoroughly enjoy stimulating conversation and unfortunately I don't have too many friends I can chat with on a regular basis, but I do have one (you know who you are) who when I do talk to her it's so nice and refreshing to share opinions and information with one another, I sure do miss having her so close.
I don't know if it's just me or if there comes a time in most peoples' life where you crave more depth in things. I'm really not trying to sound like a pompous twit, But I really cannot explain it any other way, I love poetry. I crave music with lyrical dexterity. And I love knowledge that I can take and mold myself into the best version OF myself i can hopefully be.

sorry to bore you on my path to self discovery, maybe you can relate maybe not. either way this is what I felt like saying tonight.
