Pregnancy Ups and Downs

There are so many things that I love about being pregnant! Feeling my little guy in there moving about and getting hiccups are two things that I can't help but giggle at when they happen. Also, he makes me giggle because he seems to be a bit shy, or maybe he's actually just a teaser! He moves ALL THE TIME! However, the minute someone puts their hands on him other than me, he stops moving completely and decides to move again almost right after they remove their hand from my stomach. It's rather hilarious to me, and it makes me think that he treats me special.   ;)

Another thing Blake has been loving to do lately, that I absolutely adore, is stretching! I know I have a small body, but I didn't think he would need to stretch me out as much as he tries to! He stretches a lot and I end up being able to see a tiny thing poking out of me at one side of my stomach, while seeing a big thing poking out at the other end of my stomach! This makes me think that it's his head and his feet pushing against the sides of my stomach. I really love it! And, one day he was pushing his body all the way out, and I swear I could see the outline of him. I saw his head, then I saw his back leading to his tiny little bum! It made me so happy just to see almost exactly how big he's getting. It was adorable!!

I'm currently 29 weeks and I'm still having emotional problems. Kyle upsets me a lot even though he doesn't mean to whatsoever. He actually tries to joke around with me and I know I'm being stupid about it. I take everything too seriously and I feel really awful about all of it. It's honestly hard though, he says something and I take it seriously without even realizing and I end up making him feel like shit and I don't want to do that to him. I wish I could stop already, but I don't catch myself until I think about the argument or whatever it was later on in the day. Just like right now, he just started cleaning the room and instead of me being appreciative, I just said "you never cared enough to clean it before." Like what the hell is my problem?!?!?! Ugh...I disgust myself.   :(

I've started two new symptoms now that my third trimester has started. I got my first nosebleed EVER about 3 or 4 days ago. It came out of nowhere! It scared me so bad because I don't want to lose blood when my iron levels need to be steady enough for me and the baby! Then, today I took a prego-nap around 3pm. I woke up around 6:30pm and stood up and had acid reflux for the first time! It was ridiculous! It burned my throat so bad and I thought I was going to throw up for certain. I didn't though. I ended up just getting a bottle of water and every time that awful feeling came to the top of my throat, I gave it a moment to settle and I drank the nice cool water, which would make it feel better for a total of about 10 minutes AT THE MOST. Sometimes it would come back right after I'd drink. It was infuriating! Thank goodness that my brother-in-law has acid reflux all the time and he had some TUMS on hand to settle my curse.   :)

This Sunday coming is my baby shower. My sister is kindly letting me borrow one of her favorite dresses to wear to the event since I have nothing nice to wear that I can actually fit into. (Haha!) It's a nice dress from Victoria's Secret. It makes my boobs look wonderful! I'm very excited for my boobs to look good because I've never had boobs until I got pregnant. I went from ALMOST filling an A cup, to almost getting into a C cup within a few months. And they're only bound to get bigger from here on out (as long as my milk production is normal of course.) I'm so excited. Plus my baby belly looks amazingly adorable in the dress as well! Here is a preview of the dress!

This isn't the exact dress of course, but it's the closest preview I could find of the dress. It's very gorgeous like this one!! The color comes pretty close too!    :)

Well, Kyle wants to play with my GarageBand application on here, so I suppose I will let him have my computer for a while before we officially go to bed. Plus, I don't care how bad this acid reflux is because I'm far too hungry to give a shit. Plus, the TUMS I stole from my brother-in-law will kill that darned acid reflux!   :)

Goodnight!! :)

I'm Sick. (-_-)

I've recently discovered that my nephews have strep throat. My sister took them to the hospital, and they both have strep throat. My throat has been hurting for a while now and I also have been coughing my lungs out for the past couple days. I'm afraid I might have it too, but so far so good. I haven't found any white patches in my mouth or in the back of my throat and I haven't thrown up or anything like that. My body aches like it never has before though, so that's taking a bit of a toll on me. Other than that, I'm doing okay for my body temperature constantly changing. I'm hoping my little guy doesn't get affected by this. I've been doing my best to keep myself as healthy as I can while being sick so that I don't get any worse.

Kyle is sick too, but he was actually vomiting. I've been trying to stay away from him while still trying to help him out and take care of him. It's been a rough day so far...and last night was a rough night as well. I don't really feel well enough to be on the computer for too long, so this post will most likely be small. But I hope to get better soon so I can go back to being a happy "preggers!" Ha.
