Right now...

I want:
tortilla chips with nacho cheese and jalapenos
a thanksgiving dinner
hot fudge sundae with nuts
pita bread with hummus
carne asada fries
fruit salad with cottage cheese and granola
and a couple of hot cheetos

I feel:
Good! I've had a sharp pain in my lower belly right above my pubic bone. It's a little uncomfortable but it's not constant... another day, another ache or pain, it's no biggie. But I'm not tired and I don't feel yucky in any way :) so I'm happy!

I'm wearing:
a white tank top that is stretched to the max
an adorable peach and white flowered cardigan I got from a thrift store
dark jeans
tan boots
white scarf... its freezing!


There's the belly!
P.S. I can no longer see my toes.

Natural Birth, Midwives & Doulas, OH MY!

Today I found a WONDERFUL blog called, dearbabyblog.com written by a woman named Melissa.

Dear Baby Blog


As I was reading her blog, I came across one of her posts, titled: "Natural Childbirth, Round Two. Preparing for Arlo." Let me tell you, it just about knocked me out of my seat! That post reached into my chest and squeezed my heart so tightly, it was as if Melissa had written that post for me! It was all about how she is preparing for her son's birth in early May, which will be her second natural birth experience. She talks about the plans she and her husband have made for their son's birth. It is SO similar to what the Hub and I have planned for our little one's birth, it blew me away! If you have a moment, copy and paste the link below into your browser and read her fabulous post!

No Sleep

Last night I was so tired, I couldn't wait to get into bed and fall asleep. Well, once I did, I wasn't asleep for long. I was up almost the entire night. As each hour passed I grew more angry at my peacefully sleeping husband and 2 cats, one of which was snoring! Why could they sleep so easily and I couldn't? Why the heck was I awake when I was sooo sleepy? Then I figured it out! It was my stupid brain that couldn't calm the hell down and stop throwing new thoughts at me at a million miles per hour...

What is the baby going to be, girl or boy? When is it going to be born? Who will it look like more? Will it be 100% healthy? What will it be wearing when we bring it home from the hospital? What will it wear for it's 1st Christmas? What Christmas family traditions will we have? What Easter family traditions will we have? I should continue the Easter family tradition I had when I was young, to make real confetti eggs! How do I make confetti eggs, I can't remember! My godmother knows, I'll call and ask her. I can't wait to dye hard boiled eggs with the baby! I wonder if it will like eggs? I wonder what its favorite foods will be?

OH MY GOSH!!!!! Please, make it stop! I really don't need to be thinking about all of this at 1am, 2am, 3am or even 4am... I should be sleeping! So.tired.need.sleep.
