Where did we go??

My bestie and I are such slackers! Sorry for not posting anything in like 2 weeks. I really don't have much to say this morning other than the "Drive Thru Man" was good to my breakfast taco. Thank you "Drive Thru Man"!

Ok, so you see this picture and you think "awwww!!!!! Baby Watermelon gives his mama that pretty pregnancy glow, and she even has time to make her hair the hotness and put makeup on...pregnancy isn't all that horrible and miserable...."

So that was taken at the beautiful part of prgnancy, when I was a mere 29 weeks pregnant with Baby Watermelon.....

Enter the THIRD TRIMESTER (all caps for dramatic effect)...........

Now at 32 weeks pregnant and into the glorious 3rd Trimester the Host of the glorious parasite known as Baby Watermelon is tired.....she is pale...Where did the Glow go????? Can anyone besides me see that my hips spread like Whoa? I'm a big girl, and my belly button recently became an outie.....that is quite a feat considering I have plenty of extra flab for this baby to stretch.....So thankfully i have only gained 10 lbs from the start of this pregnancy to the present. I have 7 weeks to go. My pledge to myself, and I am doing this on the interwebs to hold myself accountable, is to not only lose the weight I gained from the pregnancy, but in the 8 weeks it takes to recover I want to lose an additional 20 lbs. Everyweek I see the Dr and I will post my weight for the world to see...once I have Baby Watermelon I will weigh in once a week so you know I am not cheating when I come back to work. This week's number is..............

293

Yikes! Next Tuesday I will post again, lets see how much Baby Watermelon helps his Mama gain by then :-)

Update on Watermelon Baby

OK, so this is not my kid, but it was wayyyyyyyyy too cute to not post!! So Erick...aka...Watermelon Baby, as named by my bestie Elizabeth, is a whopping 6 1/2 lbs at the ripe old gestational age of 31 weeks and 4 days! The verdict...well, since I don't have to push this bountiful baby boy out of the Vag the Dr thinks she will go ahead and let him bake for another 7 weeks. This should be interesting seeing as how mama can not sleep, breathe, drive, or relieve herself of her bodily fluids as easily as she normally could. Dr says Mama's Misery = Happy Healthy Child....sacrifices we make for our children begin in the womb....::sigh::

Sleeping In...Can you speak English please?!

Put the kid to bed by 7:30-8 rush around getting stuff done you can't get done while the little monster is awake! You're lucky if you get to bed by 11. But you think, "Hey! It's Friday. No big deal I can stay up late cause tomorrow is Saturday and it's sleep in (insert foreign language here) day.". THINK AGAIN! That little monster (that you love so much and you really don't think is a monster but your tired and cranky) wakes up at 6:45 ready to go!!!! All I have to say is...SCREW ALL YOU NON-PARENTS WHO GET TO SLEEP IN ON THE WEEKEND!
