Busy Baby

So, the baby has been non-stop moving all day today. While eating lunch it got me like 3 times really good to the point I jumped all 3 times. It's not really a painful feeling but more of a tickle. One on hand I absolutely love feeling my child move and knowing that things are going well in mamma's tummy but on the other day, I often want to yell "PLEASE!!!! Just give me a few minutes!!"

I'm in the process of uploading some pictures of my time home in July... even though I took almost zero pictures, and also a picture of me today. Today was the first day I got ready, looked in the mirror and felt good about myself. I wasn't wearing some fancy maternity shirt, but just an old t-shirt and jeans. I felt like myself, but with a tiny belly carrying a tiny baby.

I guess it just goes to show you that spending an hour drying, straightening your hair, putting on makeup and picking out your cutest clothes still can't make you feel truly good about yourself. I liked the way I looked today, and felt comfortable, just normal in jeans, a t-shirt and flip flops ready to go see a movie with my studly husband ;)

Today was a fun day though. We all (Jake is here) slept in, and by the time we woke up and ate breakfast it was 11am. So we got into working mode, the boys took care of the outside and I spent almost 3 hours vacuuming the house. Whoever said men do all the manual labor in a marriage, has clearly not vacuumed an all tile house before! MY GOSH! I was sweating just as much, if not more than the boys that were working outside in 100 degree weather! Also, today I understood just why a woman's mind works so differently than a man's. The boy's were outside mowing grass and I was inside, putting laundry in the washer, switching it to the dryer, folding the dry clothes when they were done, making lunch (which had multiple steps), vacuuming the house, while cleaning and dusting and picking up random items and putting it in their place.... you get the point. Welcome to a woman's multitasking mind! I like it though, it keeps me moving and I like to come home after seeing a movie (Inception, which was really crazy but really good) and walking into a clean house! There is just something about it that feels so good!

Now onto uploading pictures of the Indiana trip onto Facebook :)

Dear Baby,

I feel like I should write my child a letter today... Here it goes!

Dear Baby,
Today mommy ate... ALOT. Well not a lot as in huge mass quantities, but a lot as in A LOT of one specific thing. For Breakfast I had a bowl of Coco Pebbles. About 2 hours later I had another. Then for lunch I had a turkey sandwich, and a peach. For snack I had some blue berries, some cherries and a pina colada yogurt. Later in the day I had another bowl of Coco Pebbles. For dinner I had this yummy pasta at Jason's Deli, and currently it's 11:43pm and I'm up eating Rice Chex because you are hungry and majorly kicking me (I got the message and now i'm working on it... RELAX!) What I have failed to mention to you thus far is that those 3 bowl of coco pebbles were really LARGE bowls. Mommy just may have consumed the whole entire box today... along with about a 1/2 gallon of milk. Don't think this is a good idea, because I can tell you right now, Coco Pebbles make you... lets just leave it at excited, although i'm pretty sure that is an understatement. So anyway, I'm writing you this letter to express my lack of parenting and greatly apologize for making my 1st of many greatly poor choices of parenting. (Even though I'm sure you will get just as wound up for our Glucose test we have schedule for monday.)

So to end, Baby, I very much enjoyed feeling you move around ALL DAY but promise (ok try) not to make the same mistake twice.

Love Love Love Love,
Mommy

PS. PLEASE STOP LAYING, SITTING, KICKING, PULLING... Basically just please stay away from my bladder :)
