Total weight gain/loss: My total weight gain from pre-pregnancy size is 21 lbs....Today I weighed in at 119 lbs.
Sleeping: Soo now I have leg cramps in the middle of the night, pretty much charlie horse in my calves. Also I never used to know exactly what acid reflux was, now I have three words to describe it: throw up burps! Sexy I know....dont be jealous.
Best Moment this week: Buying my maternity jeans. I used to think I am way to cool to wear those nana jeans with the elastic stretchy thing that you pull up to your bra. Well let me just say that I was a fool. They are the best damn thing ever invented. I wanna buy more!
Any movement: Crazy movements. Jon feels it all the time now. Its not uncomfortable yet, still feels cute.
Cravings: Bread, butter, broccoli, waffles, cup of noodles....I wouldnt say cravings but they are my recent indulgences lately.
Pregnancy signs: Nose bleeds. Every day. I have extremely bad shortness of breath. To the point where I seriously think I need an oxygen tank on wheels to carry around with me 24/7.
What I miss: Having money...this baby shit is expensive
What I'm looking forward to: I have something Im not looking forward to: my glucose test! I might not show up for it, i'll be honest. It involves bloodwork and i might faint, I think i need a tranquilizer for this. I am looking forward to the classes that Jonny and I signed up for at the hospital. We will be doing a tour of the labor and delivery room. A childbirth class which is 8 hours long. A pregnancy massage class which will be awesome, and newborn class.
Things that have changed: Nothing that I can think of.

"Babies" the documentary
Im sorry Oprah, but you're crazy, this movie/documentary was nothing close to "A-maz-ing!"
I was horrified watching the babies in Namibia and Mongolia. I almost had to close my eyes in some parts because I was scared to death. For those that havent seen it, here are some highlights (Long!):
The Namibian mom wiped her baby's poo onto her leg and then brushed it off with some caveman tool. The worst part was the baby was allowed to chew on what looked like the bones of a decayed animal. I understand its not a developed part of the world, but the baby putting the bones in its mouth should not have been allowed, even in 3000 B.C.!
The worst scenes went to the Mongolian baby. I think the herd of cattle would have done a better job raising that child than that mother was doing. First of all i understand why the unsupervised infant was tied to the bed and left alone, this is so that monkeys cant come into the house and take the babies (which apparently happened recently in Malaysia) anyways. However, when the rooster jumped up on the bed I was praying I wouldnt see the rooster peck the (again unsupervised) baby to death in front of me. Now I also dont agree with tying the unsupervised few month old baby to the foot of the bed and leaving a roll of toilet paper within reach for the baby to eat.
How about when the baby was sitting in the bowl by the window and the cattle with the huge horns came up to the baby, I was petrified it was going to be mauled in front me. Or when the wobbly baby was standing on the tree stump, I just kept saying omg, omg, he's gonna fall backwards and break his neck, someone get him off there. Even the cattle new it was dumb, they came running over, im sure they were thinking "hello, put the camera down and get the baby off the stump". Finally the baby is left in a carriage in the meadow with nooone around and he's standing up. I had to turn my head bc my stomach was turning, and sure as shit the kid tips the carriage over and falls out! Where are these parents? And why did this cameraman not stop this?
Honest to God any concerns I may have had about not being able to provide for this baby or, not know what Im doing, went right out the window after seeing this!

Bitch Badge
*Disclaimer*
I just have to get this off my chest. When I am laying on the couch with my feet up, with my 50 lbs doggie dead asleep on my lap, I am not getting up. Not unless the house is on fire or someone has a ham sandwich in their hands....thats it. So don't ring my doorbell...or say "Hey babe come here for a sec" or expect me to answer my phone that I left on the table....Bc I have a human being growing in my uterus and its being held in only by my skin....So as this entry is appropriately titled, I have earned my Bitch Badge.
Thank you!
Total weight gain/loss: I now weigh 114 lbs....thats 16 lbs gain from my pre pregnancy size!
Sleeping: Is the best thing ever, I wake up frequently to pee, as in 2-3 times a night, but I have no problem falling back to sleep lately.I think the giant U shaped pregnancy pillow that Jon bought me is the best gift ever!
Best Moment this week: Finding out that Jon is a normy and is not a carrier for the Parkin gene mutation that I have. This means that since the gene is autosomal recessive, our children will only be carriers. (They will get my mutated copy(bad kind) and Jons normal copy(good kind) and will be carriers(like my parents).
Any Movement: Jon felt the baby move on sunday!
Cravings: Lil Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies
What I miss: My clothes that fit. Im down to rotating out the 3 shirts I have left that fit.
What Im looking forward to: Our baby shower....moms been talking to me about it and its so exciting!
Things that have changed: The name that we had picked out if its a girl. We were doing Leah for a girl, but we changed our minds....we're not saying what we picked, it'll be a surprise! And if its a boy, its still Cody.
