You Know what this means....

You see those leaves... this means fall is coming... do you know what happens this fall... MY SWEET LIL MEME JOINS US IN THE WORLD!!! :D Yes... the sight of those leaves made me cry my eyes out with excitement! Being pregnant SUCKS but knowing in the end I'll have his sweet little fingers, nose, elbows, toes, knees, eyes, shoulders, tummy, head... I'll have him ALL it makes it all soo worth it. I'm scared out of my mind because I don't know what to expect! I just know sometime within the next 76 days (later rather than sooner ;) he has some time to bake hehe) I will get to hold him! And cuddle him and feed him and change his oil slicks ;) haha baaaahhhh the excitement never ends! haha



This is me and my lil meme. This dress my lovely sister Britnie let me borrow! I don't really fit much and I'm mentally distraught whenever I look at maternity clothes (whether they are adorable or horrendous haha). :( She also blessed me with lots of those too but I'm working to postpone the maternity clothes period AS LONG AS POSSIBLE! As long as I'm comfortable and meme is safe why not right?! I'm REALLY pushing it with the rubber band technique in the jean shorts ;). Thank heavens it's summer and dresses are holding up just nicely!

So, I have recently noticed that when you're pregnant... and finally look pregnant in my case! People feel they are entitled to say to you whatever the they want! Strangers and people who know you. So, I compiled a couple of comments from friends family and a couple of wonderful ladies from my November Mommies board. Just to give you all a heads! Here are a couple things you should NEVER say to a pregnant woman!:

Kristen 29wks 2dys having a boy boise id:
NEVER ASK A PREGNANT WOMAN IF SHE IS KEEPING HER BABY! I had a lady in target confront me and ask me how far along I was then realized I wasn't wearing a wedding ring and asked if I was keeping it?? When I said yes she scolded me on how selfish I was! I sadly didn't yell nor slap her ha. But left so upset! Seriously?! You don't know me lady it's none of your business whether I'm keeping it or not! I was so emotionally distraught I ended up buying a fake ring and wore that one for a while! Then my boss let me borrow one that looks more "Wedding ring"ish. It's a lil too big for now so I'm wearing my sweet sixteen ring til I get swollen. haha I don't wear the ring out of embarrassment because I'm FAR FROM THAT! I just wear it so I can dodge the question and all the other rude comments strangers like to come up with. Lets just say it's for their own sake ;) haha

That's horrible that she said that but I kinda had the same thing happen my first I was single and all the lady's would ask oh wheres the father? I would tell them I don't know I'm stuck at work! Then they would get quiet lol! Stupid old ppl! But with this one it just annoys me that at work my male coworkers will make puking noises when they know I have thrown up!pisses me off.

Amber Chamberlain Mom of one girl Preston, Idaho: "Are you sure it's his? Was it planned? Wow you sure there is just one in there? I was sick the whole nine months good luck! Get the sleep you can now!"

Lauren from arkansas and 28w 2d having a girl! said:
Mine would have to be comments on what I am doing wrong as a pregnant female. Just because you ran four miles every day until you went into labor and never ate anything the slightest bit unhealthy doesn't mean I am a horrible mother if I don't do the same.

An anonymous mom from my Nov. Board said:
"your lives are going to change drastically" "you aren't going to sleep for a long time" Those are the best pieces of advice people can come up with? Thank you, I had no clue on those!

Candi Mom of 2 Boise Id said:
Never say!!! "At least your weight has an excuse now."

Another anonymous mom from my Nov. board said:
"you think you're in pain now? Just you wait!" or the classic "are you sure there's just one in there??" yes I am fricking sure, so is my midwife and 3 ultrasound technicians as well!! I also love "you look so well!" thanks, coz I feel like crap... Constantly!!

Marquisha 31wks having a boy said:
I know I have been asked that a lot of times then I asked them" why are they so worried about it?" also that they have no right asking me questions about my personal life then I'd walk away like nothing happened while that person is left in line looking stupid in front of everybody oh i make sure that everyone hears me loud and clear when i say things like that to noisy people i don't like or have that feeling where they think their better than me.




As an update on how lil meme is doing! This is him...isn't he sweet?? ;) hehe!!! We had a doctors appointment this morning which went VERY well. We got a lot of our questions answered so that was very nice! She did mention that at this point she is starting to worry about my weight gain (well lack thereof :(), then measured him and said he is still growing like he should! But gave me the go to mow down on some Ice Cream! :D I'm soooo ok with that! haha Also, we checked his heartbeat. He got curious with what was poking him and he kicked her machine!! It was SOOO adorable! We are pretty sure we heard a "hi-ya!" Heartbeat is strong and healthy! We also agreed on how I would prefer labor to go. I want to go as long as I can without an epideral and if at all possible have him without it but we are all in agreement that if I turn out to be a big wuss then an epideral it is! No harm no foul! He still doesn't have a name which is ok! I REALLY like Sawyer at the moment! And Marshal! But names keep coming up that I like so I don't have my mind completely set on just one! We will see! Luckily we don't have to have it completely decided on until he is coming! Which will hopefully be another eight weeks at least... holy hanna... eight weeks. umm I should probably go do some studying! There is lots to learn about babies!!! Sleep well you all!!
Good night!
