Wobbling Happy




As my stomach continues to expand beyond an imaginable size, the wobbling continues to worsen. I began to have the pregnancy waddle at about 22 weeks or so, and boy has it gotten more impressive! I don't mean to walk that way, it just happens. I personally think it is because my legs have continued to expand as well. There is no denying the fact that my butt and legs have grown a bit too. I just blame it on making my body more prepared to carry this extra weight in front. However.. it is probably because I am just a lard butt. Oh well- I have every intention to work my butt off (literally) during the 12 weeks I'm off work (of coarse I will only work out intensely the last 6). I have continued my leg exercises as well as my tricep dips- but Jesus continues to provide me with cushion to support this baby (YIKES!). My weight gain has been appropriate thus far- but I still have 8 weeks left.
I also am one of those preggos that find it appropriate to hold her stomach while walking. I do this for a couple reasons. 1. Anytime I walk my bladder suddenly has absolutely no room at all.. none. So if I hold my stomach up a bit it takes a little pressure off. 2. I like to hold my baby. I like her to know that I am always thinking of her.. always. And I think that if I let her know that I love her so much- maybe she won't poke at my bladder. I mean, she can if she wants. I don't really mind.. but if she wants to be kind to my bladder- super! P.S.- ONLY 8 WEEKS! Holy cow! That is 5 weeks till full term. I couldn't be more psyched. I am off for 3 days and I am hoping to get a small amount of work done on the baby room and hopefully the baby's bathroom. We will see..



Speaking of the babies room- I just re bought the babies bedding and the valance that matches because they were on sale and I saved $20. Whoo hoo! I originally spent $140 for just the bedding and then Target had a baby sale, so I took back the bedding and got back all my money and then re bought the bedding AND the valance and only spent $120. Now that is what I call a deal! I also bought the breast pump on sale- $30 off. I am very excited about that- AND I got a $20 target gift card for buying a medela pump. I bought the Pump In Style Advanced. I have heard good things, I hope they prove to be true. I am going to be devastated if breastfeeding doesn't work out. I so badly want to use boobie juice as my baby girls primary source of nutrition. :) Plus- I am counting on that as another way to help me lose weight.

Did someone say "breastfeeding?" Oh my gosh, MB. I can't believe baby girl is almost here. I knew she would come. She was just waiting for the perfect time. I can't believe it was so long ago that we first discussed the air bolus. You are going to be such a great mommy! So happy for you. Miss you bunches!
