3 down...2 to go!

I had ANOTHER shower this past weekend that my Grandpa and step-gram threw for me! It was very nice! The food was really good, they had a cookout. My gram on my mom's side, aunt and her boyfriend all came to join in the fun! I got a ton of new clothes and a pack and play from my gramp and step-gram and the new, fancy stroller from my gram!! I love everything! 2 more showers to go! I cant wait.

I'm starting to get bigger so there's not as much room in my mom's belly so she's getting very, very uncomcy (what else is new?)

Not much more to report! But hey, no news is good news!!!!

Am I popular or what?!

There was ANOTHER shower in my honor this past Sunday. My other grandma's friends threw it and it was a couple's shower. From what I heard, everyone had a lot of fun and I got some good gifts! People LOVE buying me clothes! I hope I can wear them before I outgrow them all!

Other than that, not much has been going on. Mom's continuing to get fat as a horse and I continue to kick her in the ribs constantly. I can't believe that I only have 8 weeks left until I meet my mom and daddy. Time has flown by...I'm not sure if mom and daddy are prepared for me quite yet. I hear them talking about everything they have left to do...and let me tell you, it sounds like they have A LOT!

Most importantly, I have very good news...My daddy graduated from UNCC! His diploma came in the mail on Saturday. I'm so proud of him!

I am attaching some pictures taken at the shower yesterday!

A party in my honor?!

My first shower took place on Sunday at my grandma's house. It was fantastic! There were bellini's (mom didn't have any), a catered brunch, great people, and great gifts:) I am shocked that so many people came to honor me, just a little baby no one has met yet. I heard lots of laughing and chatting as I sat comfy in my mom's belly. I can see that my mom and grandma have great friends that really went above and beyond the call of duty! We have another shower, that my other grandma's friends are throwing this coming Sunday so I can't wait to see how that turns out! I hope when I'm out of mom's belly that people celebrate this much!

On another note, I've been hurting my mom a lot lately. I seem to only get comfy on the right side of her belly. My head's down and my feet are right in her rib cage and I move around CONSTANTLY. I can tell that she's very uncomfortable because I heard her talk to the doctor about it today...they said there wasn't really anything that could be done except take Tylenol every 4 hours. Mom said no way she's going to take all that medicine! She said she'd deal with it. However, she does let my daddy know every chance she gets how uncomfortable she is...I sure hope he appreciates everything mom is doing for me! Maybe if mom starts kicking daddy in the ribs he'll understand the pain she's in...hmm...food for thought.

Anyway, I'm attaching a picture of my Aunt, Grandma and Mom at the shower below.

Indian Food...not my cup of tea

So I've had my first bad experience with food. Mom thought it'd be a good idea to go try a new restaurant, Tamarind, last night. It's Indian cuisine and although my mom thought it was great, I feel compelled to disagree. Mom tried to be careful about what she ordered (nothing too spicy) but my daddy LOVES hot food and ordered, what I think to be, was the hottest thing on the menu. Mom wanted to try it and not only did it set her mouth on fire, I think it set ME on fire!! It didn't take long for me to start kicking, punching, doing back flips, and what John (my Aunt's boyfriend) thinks were hiccups! I'm feeling better now and have calmed down a bit but I hope mom learned her lesson!! NO MORE INDIAN until I'm out of here!!

I think my Mom's over it...

All I heard about today was how uncomfortable I was making my mom at work. Granted, I kicked and shoved and did somersaults all day but still...was there really a need for Mom complaining so much about it?! I THINK NOT. Mom couldn't get comfy all day, was restless, couldn't stand, sit, lay down without me digging into her ribs. I don't know how much more of this she can take! I will try from now on to calm down a bit but I can't promise anything:) Good thing I'm supposed to be out of here in 11 weeks!!

Last leg of the race!

Well, it's official, I'm in the last leg of this crazy race! Only 12 weeks left to go before I'm outta here! My mom went to the doctor again today and he said that everything was PERFECT with me...yet again:) My mom gained the weight she was supposed to gain and is 28 centimeters at 28 weeks! He also said this is when me and Mom will gain our weight...I hope my mom gets better self control or I'm going to be a big ole' baby!! My mom took her gestational diabetes test and had to drink that gross sugar drink and then get her finger pricked. Her sugar levels are great, which is wonderful news. The not-so-good news is that her anemia came back so she has to start taking another supplement:( I have heard her complain about how tired she's been and I'm sure daddy is sick of hearing about it but at least they know why she's been that way and she can get her iron levels up soon! I have another check-up in 2 weeks...I'm sick of always being at the doctor!

Quiet on the western front...

Things have been pretty calm with me...haven't really been in the mood to kick lately but that all changed yesterday. I was kicking like a crazy woman! My mom's starting to get a little uncomfy when I do all my aerobic activity so I've been trying to tone it down a bit. I think my mom's getting pretty fat, at least that's what I hear her saying but hey, what can I do?! Not too much news to report, in a couple weeks I'll go back to the doc to do a glucose test to make sure my mom doesn't have gestational diabetes. From what I hear, mom will have to drink some nasty fruit drink and then get her blood taken. YUCK. I sure hope they dont poke and prod me when I'm outta here!
