Return of the naughty blogger

I am back!

I am big and I am round and I have a few somewhat interesting pregnancy related facts and gossip to share!

So lets skip the the excuses about my hectic and glamorous life and get right down to the good stuff. Are we ready or what?


First of all, all of my fears about not really being pregnant are starting to subside. This is due to four recent developments:

1) I am so large that even my maternity clothes are getting tight. Yes, even the ones I went especially to the large mall in a nearby town to buy less that a month ago. Since my last blog in fact! Yikes, and I still have 3 months to go! Also, my tatas have gone from an A cup to a C cup. Woot! I hooked myself up with a couple of nasty looking but comfy bras the other day -the Hubs was supportive, searching out sizes and making suggestions, as I tried on about a dozen white beasties. However, I admit he looked a little less than aroused.

2) There is definitely someone in there! Someone who likes to dance and party. Someone who is eager to work on his or her gymnastics routines,synchronized swimming pieces and kick boxing stunts all day long. Someone who likes to kick or head but my little rib cage. Someone who likes to bear down on my bladder so there is always just the littlest bit of pee pee leaking out of me. Lovely, I know... By the way, what's the deal with Kegals? Should I be doing them? I don't really get them...discuss.

3) I have developed my own signature waddle. It's unique and very Next
Top Model-esque. Or should I say Next Top Waddle...

4) I can't see my Foo.

Apart from all that, you'd never guess I was knocked up!

None of these are complaints mind you...it's all good. The worst it gets is when I am having one of my, I don't feel pretty days, (boo hoo, poor little vain girl) but we all have those days.

Some other exciting news is that I passed my Glucose Tolerance Test. I was a bit worried because of my sordid love affair with sugar and my PCOS symptoms. I took the test a couple of weeks ago and the midwife called to say my results are normal. I will ask for details when we go to see her on Tuesday. Also, I've woken up with a little bit puffy hands the last couple of days and I want to make sure that it's all within the normal realm of pregnant lady swelling and not anything to fret about.

Speaking of fretting... my dreams have been BIZARRE!! There have been quite a few nightmares and a few frustrating -style dreams. However, Loren, you'll be interested to know, that I too have experienced two spontaneous orgasms during my sleep. The weird thing is the dreams I've been having at the time (because I've woken up on both occasions) are completely non-sexual. Weird. I am left feeling a bit crampy but I've decided that my body must know what it's up to.

Oh, and the shopping flood gates have opened. The hubster and I went on an impromptu shopping spree after dinner last Tuesday night. We bought a cute little car seat that has jungle animals all over it. I had to take it out of the box when we got home just so that I could stare at it. Also, I must touch it at least once a day. Usually before work.

We also bought, what we have loving nicknamed, the "Transformer". It is a bassinet, playpen, change station combo. We are hoping that it will work for us because our house is tiny. We have been offered full sized cribs by several friends... so we'll see.

We are still researching our stroller options. We haven't decided if we want to buy a fancy one or a sturdy, yet cheaper model. Ahhh... decisions. Reality is that we wont need a stroller for months but it's all so exciting for us!

Speaking of exciting, our friend Christina, who has a couple of kids, unleashed me into her garage of accumulated and no longer needed baby shwag. I snapped up a vibrating chair, a play mat, a jolly jumper and several infant toys... So much fun! Where we'll put all this stuff is still a mystery to me at this point.

In conclusion, The hubster and I are currently enjoying some time off work.
We do plan on arranging the baby/storage/guest room during this time. We're not talking a thematic and picturesque nursery or anything...just somewhere to make our love child feel safe, snuggled and warm.

I just know that once we're back at work, it will be June in no time! Yahoo!

Today is sunny and Spring is definitely in the air. Summer may be several months away but you can almost taste the sun's rays.

We just returned from our annual spring surf, eat, read and snuggle trip to Tofino. Of course I didn't surf this year, the bump and I bundled up in a blanket and two puffer jackets and watched my little surfer babe do his thing.

I must say that I feel refreshed blessed.

I feel like I've been kissed by the sun.
