Bump blog (10)

How far along: 20 weeks! I'm half way there! It's amazing how fast time is going!!! 
Total weight gain/measurements: I've hit a plateau with my weight... But still under what I started at. 49.5 inches around. I have officially 'popped' if you will. Lol. 
Mama gear: I seem to have misplaced my pattern for my maxi dresses. But, AS SOON AS I locate it, I am going to be making many as the summer is fast approaching. 
Tiger stripes: I've earned some! On te right side of my belly. They're there!! I feel like I may be the only person in the world that thinks they're beautiful... 
Nuh nite time: BAHAHAHHAHA. Yea. That's my feeling on that one... 
Best moment this week: Charlie is movin and groovin all over the place. It's amazing and I LOVE to feel her move. Today I learned that heavy metal gets her two steppin, and classical puts her to sleep. 
Right now, I'd really love to go: to California. I'm REALLY missing my lil sister. So much. 
If I don't have that on my taste buds right now I'm going to freak: it's potatoes still. 
Boy or girl: GIRL! Obv. Eek! So excited! 
Symptoms: im hot. All of the times... I tinkle when I sneeze if I don't cross my legs, my boobs are GIGANTIC, I have to pee more than any human does in their first 12 years of life, and I'm hungry, but noting sounds good. 
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Off. I was waking up in the middle of the night because it was so uncomfortable... 
Happy or moody most of the time: I'm really just a happy person... 
Looking forward to: moving the bedroom around to accomidate Charlie. :-) I'm excited for a good deep clean too! 

(Ps I'm sorry this is up so late today, I ended up working both jobs today... And went from one right to the other... Also I wanted to get a belly pic in, but, it didn't happen... I promise to get one in by at LEAST The next bump blog <3)

Bump blog (9)

How far along: 19 weeks!!!

Mama gear: in the process of motivating myself to make some more maxi dresses... 
Tiger stripes: still none. 
Nuh nite time: naps have been my bestest friend. As sleep is difficult. It's getting hard to fall asleep. 
Best moment this week: the gender reveal, and finding out the gender. 
Right now, I'd really love to go: back to sleep. But if I do that I'll never be able to sleep tonight. 
If I don't have that on my taste buds right now I'm going to freak: no real significant cravings this week honestly. 
Boy or girl: ITS A GIRL!!! :-) 
Symptoms: headaches, I'm tired, bloated...
Belly button in or out? In still. But I noticed it's not as deep. 
Wedding rings on or off? On. But they'll be coming off at night from now on. 
Happy or moody most of the time: happy. Except I had a mini episode today... :-( 
Looking forward to: my day off on Monday so I can hopefully have some motivation to do something crafty...

Gender reveal


So this past weekend we had our gender reveal party... It was small, but perfect... A bunch live far away, and a few couldn't make it for one reason or another. Those that couldn't attend we're facetimed in. And it was amazing. My mom and I decorated and my husband 'played the manager' my moms reaction was the absolute greatest ever in the whole world... She FREAKED OUT and it was amazing. Hubs and I already knew the gender before the party... But. I do have some pictures from the party... It was color themed, and dress in the color you think the baby is, in hubs and I's case what you wanted... Lol. But here are some photos monster said he needed a mask because you wear masks at parties!

Anticipation.

As I lay here trolling Pinterest to try and get tired, my heart is pounding out of my chest I'm so excited. Tomorrow is the day. Tomorrow we find out if you are Charlotte or if you are Walter. I can't even begin to actually know even though my gut says you're a boy, how would I actually know. I'm 18 weeks pregnant, PREGNANT! and it's still amazing to me. With every day that goes by I'm still in shock, in disbelief that for every day that goes by, I fall more and more in love. I didn't know this feeling was possible. To love you as much as I already do... I am already so proud of you. Of the accomplishments you have made and you're not even out of the womb. As I lay here and wonder, imagine who you might be, what your eyes will look like when they're studying the world, or how your hair is going to come in, I can't help but think of how fast time is already going, and how quickly you are growing. My heart fills with joy. As I walk through my day I watch mommies and daddies with their babies, coaching them through life, cooing and aweing at their little babes, I can't help but get misty. Because I see in their eyes how proud they are of their babies already. How happy they are. I smile to myself and walk on. Even though I just want to sit and gawk. Watch the interactions. The smiles on the children's faces. Oh I lay here, with your fluttering in my belly and I can't wait to hold you. To see you for the first time. I can't wait to see who you'll become. Your little personality. I love you so much baby. So incredibly much. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. And finally know if you'll be my Charlotte, or my Walter forever. Mommy loves you more than you could ever imagine... See you soon. <3 

Bump post (8)

How far along: 18 weeks! Can you believe it?! 
Total weight gain/measurements: still 3lbs under start weight but, again this is due to healthier choices I make overall. My doctor said that it's common for weight loss. 47.5 inches around. 
Mama gear: maxi dresses are my new best friend... Plus they make my belly look so so cute. I'm making a new one tonight, or tomorrow. Shooting for today though... 
Tiger stripes: I noticed a few on my hips last night. But not bad. 
Nuh nite time: wanna talk about last night because I didn't sleep a wink, between baby dreams and excitement for tomorrow... 
Best moment this week: Saturday. Because I finally got my energy back! So awesome I'm so excited about it! 
Right now, I'd really love to go: take a nap... :-) 
If I don't have that on my taste buds right now I'm going to freak: Granny Smith apples. Still. 
Boy or girl: convinced it's a boy! But, you won't know till AFTER the gender reveal party on Saturday. 
Symptoms: I'm bumping everything with my newly formed belly... So there's that... 
Belly button in or out? In. 
Wedding rings on or off? On, but I woke up in the middle of the night the night before last with my finger all swollen. :-( 
Happy or moody most of the time: I'm super happy. Especially since my energy is back. 
Looking forward to: going shopping with mom for the gender reveal party on Saturday... But SO EXCITED FOR TOMORROW MORNING! WE FIND OUT THE GENDER IM BESIDE MYSELF!

The baby's first handmade gift<3

So I have some amazingly talented friends... One in particular is extremely generous with her craft... She is so kind to spend hours upon hours crafting for my unborn child. She handed me the gift with such pride in her eyes, and I opened it and immediately fell in love. It will be something I treasure for all of my days. It's the perfect size for the carseat and will be used frequently. She also made a hat that matches she's also told me that she's slightly obsessed with the baby in my belly, she said she wanted to give us this so that when we find out boy or girl she could make us something more specific lol. So, here's what she made me... 
I forget what stitch she said it was, but it's very cozy and warm... And very closely crocheted together. 

Thank you Michelle. We'll love it forever and ever. <3

Have some courtesy ... Don't say that to a pregnant lady.

For this, the offensive, or annoying thing you SHOULDNT say is going to be in bold. And my response, or the response of one of the girls in my Facebook group for mamas is going to be in regular non boldness. The first question is a pre pregnancy question that KILLS me when people ask. Also, this will be ongoing, as I'm SURE there will be more that come up... Just scroll down to see the new addition... Or if you have any additions to this one I'd LOVE to hear about it... Please comment what was said, and your response to it!! 

Are you guys trying to have a baby? 
1. It's NONE of your business. What if I wasn't fertile. Or if he wasn't... Shut your face. 2. Yes. Yes my husband and I have consummated our marriage and yes, we continue to. -_- shove it. You have no idea the situation we are in, or if that couple CAN have babies. It's rude and not something you should be asking. 

Wow, you don't look pregnant?! 
Really? Because according to my pants, that I can no longer wear I'm a huge beach ball. Are you kidding me? What kills me is that people who have been, or are currently pregnant have said this to me. No. Shut it. I'm a fatty fatty 2x4 can't through the kitchen door. Don't comment on weight or if I look pregnant. That's rude. Shush. 

You're hormonal because you're pregnant... 
'No you dumbass, you just piss me off, pregnant or not!'
-J and I couldn't have said it better myself! 

THAT'S what you chose for a name? I don't like it because (xyz) how about _______ instead. 
You know what? No. Shut up. This is not your child. You did not have a hand, (or part) in making this child. How DARE you say something like that... I wasn't ASKING your opinion, I was TELLING you what my husband and I have chose to name our child. The name has meaning to us. WE like it and your opinion does not matter. And to suggest otherwise is rude and inconsiderate. It goes along with, if you've got nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. 

Was it an accident?/ Are you keeping it? 
I don't even have words for you. Shut your mouth. It's none of your business. How dare you ask someone that... I can't. I can't even with this one. This seriously just makes me want to punch you in the eye... 


Oh, just you wait... 
Really? Do you think that I've never seen a movie, had younger siblings, shared a bedroom with a baby, babysat, or even have any kind of knowledge of a baby whatsoever? So I've never been pregnant before, but I'm aware, that I'm going to be uncomfortable, I'm aware that I pee ALL THE F*CK*NG TIME. I understand what being pregnant entails, and I'm aware that a baby, WHO RELIES FULLY ON OTHER HUMANS TO KEEP IT ALIVE comes after being pregnant. Crap. I know... I get it. There's a baby coming and she's going to cry. And I'm going to cry because I -just don't know what to do- I. Freaking. Know. That I am 'in for it'. Enough. Stop saying that to people. It's awful. 


Oh, don't worry about that, it's a part of being pregnant it's 'normal' 
You know what. Every pregnancy is different. So no. Don't tell me not to worry, you don't know me, or my body, my pregnancy or my doctor. Well. You might know me, or my doctor, but just because you have previously been pregnant, or 'you've heard/read' something online doesn't make you a fucking expert. I have a tiny person growing inside of me, and you know what?! It's weird... It's awkward, and uncomfortable. Don't belittle me and my feelings because it's 'normal' what's normal for you, could be awfully dangerous for someone else. Like, for instance, my stomach pains, weren't actually my uterus growing like everybody said it was, it's a pulled groin muscle. So yea. It's super freaking painful and it sucks. So. Shove it... 


Should you be eating/doing that? 
Go away. I've talked with my doctor, we know what I should and shouldn't be eating. Yea. Maybe a burger isn't the BEST choice... But at that moment it could possibly be the only thing I can eat with out it projectile vomiting back up. So. Sh. Also, you don't see EVERY choice I make. So how can you POSSIBLY know what's good for me right then. LEAVE ME AND MY FUCKING FRENCH FRIES ALONE unless you want to get the death glare from hell and a reprimanding. Mind ya biz. As far as I'm concerned. The only person that even has a right to say something is my husband... And even that pisses me off... No one is safe. And you don't know what I should be doing. If I'm doing something, and I seem to be struggling, fucking help me. Don't just stare with your mouth gaping open, do a little jog if you're that concerned and help. Crap. It's not that hard. I help strangers all the time. Because it's nice and I know I'd appreciate it. So either help me, or move on and shut your mouth. 

Get your sleep now while you can!! 
Because sleep will never ever happen ever again ever. Right? Ok. Cause it's that easy. Please... Honestly, sleep that I do get? Sucks. I wake up consistently. For no reason. And I'm just awake... I can't fall asleep. And I can't stay asleep. Maybe this is mother natures horrific way of preparing me for what's to come. But if one more person tells me to 'get it while I can' I'm going to call them every time I can't sleep so they can sing me a damn lullaby to get me back to sleep. Seriously. Sleep isn't happening now either... So. I mean. Your comment already doesn't fit.
