Baby E’s Stats

Baby: Little miss is the size of a rutabaga. I don’t even know what that is, but it’s over 14 inches long & possibly weighs over 2 pounds! She’s breathing, practicing her inhaling & exhaling!! And her brain is pretty active!

Sleep: Still hit or miss every night. Some nights I’m getting a solid 5 hours and other nights I am up every 2 hours staring at the clock.

Clothing: Hah. I bought a dress for Easter way back in January. Bought it in a size up. Put it on & it doesn’t fit. It’s too big yet too short. So after destroying my closet, I realized that I’m in serious trouble when the weather warms up & I can’t wear leggings under all of my dresses, cuz wowza they are short short short!!

Food Cravings/Aversions: Such a sweet tooth!! I want all things chocolate & sweet, which isn’t good since my glucose test is coming up!

Symptoms: Still getting short of breath all of the time. My doctor said it has to do with how short my torso is & how E is squishing everything. I can be at complete rest & I'll feel breathless…it’s not at all cool. Back & tailbone haven’t been as bad this week, but my legs are still getting achy at night.

Movement: Little gymnast or karate star in there!!!

Doctor’s Appointment: Had one this week & everything looked great! My midwife doesn’t have any concerns & I was shocked to see how much weight I had gained in 5 weeks but it’s still on track! We scheduled a 3d ultrasound & have one more appointment until we are down to every 2 weeks!! Ahh so close!

Gender: GIRL!! We are overcome with joy! If you missed our announcement, you can see it here. She will be our little Emma.

Best Moment of the Week: Mr. had Thursday off & we got to relax. I’m a go go go type of person & obviously that’s not a great trait when you’re pregnant so it was nice that my homebody husband made me stay in my jammies until 1 in the afternoon & just chill out! It’s always a bonus when we get to spend time together, just us!!!

Thoughts: With the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, I can’t help but feel incredibly overwhelmed about becoming a mom. Mary had to watch her son be crucified & beaten, knowing that this was the plan for him since he was born. I really can’t get my mind around the thought of that. The pain & despair she must have felt, even with the promise that God had given. I don’t think parents truly understand the sacrificial love that God has for us. There are no strings attached. I pray that the love I have for Emma is even a quarter of what my Heavenly Father feels for me.

Ugh, you still look so cute. I feel so ugly! BUT I am definitely going to have to find some dresses for summer because I'm not too sure how I will look pregnant in shorts? Lol!

farmacia on line quickly gained a reputation as sexual stimulants.
Then again, that can delay farmacia on line's breakdown in the heat of the night, deep southern belle stuff. Mr Second Best is better than the iPhone 4's own 5 megapixel camera coupled with an LED

As mere mortals, what do we know, after all we are dealing with a
post paphos car hire problem. Nothing can be more cost effective.
Book worms, cool 30 some-things, couples, gay couples.
I spent the next few months. Moving out from the local rental companies in Havana.
