Wow, I can’t believe how fast time is flying. Before I know it, I’ll be at the hospital cursing out the BD and screaming ” You did this to me!!!”.  Ahhh, something to look forward to =)

So far everything is going ok, at my last doctor’s visit my blood pressure was kinda high but I blame it on being  in the waiting room for 2hrs having to pee and being super hungry. That and I hate going to the doctor. I’m self diagnosed  with having “white coat” syndrome. I don’t know what it is but I get the worst anxiety whenever I have to go to the doctor. I need to learn how to relax my mind and think good thoughts. We’ll see how that goes for the next visit.

As you can see , the belly is getting bigger and I’m super excited to be out of that ” is she pregnant or fat?” stage.  I feel much bolder now that I’m showing. You get this feeling of empowerment when you’re pregnant, like you walk around thinking “yeah, I got a human growing inside of me…no big deal” and you wanna wear all the stuff you probably wouldn’t wear when you’re worried about that extra 10lbs you gained during Christmas. Like they say, if you got it flaunt it. But don’t worry, you wont be catching me 7 months preggo in dasiy dukes up in a club. Cause that’s not cute.

Being almost 6 months pregnant , for me, is WAY better then being 3 months.  They call the 2nd trimester the “honeymoon” stage of pregnancy. I don’t have ALL DAY sickness, my super sense of smell has calmed down, I finally LOOK pregnant and food is awesome again. Those are all the plus sides. But with the good must come the bad…well, not that bad. You have to stay super hydrated at all times so that means peeing every 5 minutes which means getting over you phobia of public bathrooms (ewwww), sleeping is getting harder…they say the best way to sleep is on your left side , and that takes some getting used to when you’re used to sleeping on your stomach, shaving is now considered an exercise being I need a nap after I’m done,  thank god for full length mirrors or I wouldn’t know what the hell is going on with my crotch, yeah..say goodbye to your lady parts cause you won’t be seeing much of it for a while, people will start rubbing your belly like you’re a budda or will grant them 3 wishes if they rub long enough…which is ok if I know you or you ask but I have a thing about random people touching me..back up son!! Then there’s the thing’s that follow you all the way through till the end: the back pain, your feet swelling at times, the stuffy nose, gums bleeding, and sleepyness…not too bad, nothing that I can’t handle =)

Knock on wood, I’m feeling pretty good these days and I’m grateful to be having this experience. The beginning was kinda rough and I’ve heard the ending isn’t a walk in the park but I take each day as it comes and I know it could be worse.

Sorry for the lack of posts, I’m getting all the sleep I can now because I know as soon as the little bean is here it’s no longer my world, I will try to update and chat as much as I can.

As always, thanks for sticking around and I’ll ttusoon <3

It’s a BOY!!!!

And a mighty fine boy at that, it took the sono tech 5 seconds to see what my  little  man was working with. It was a moment I will never ever forget. I am so happy =) I have to say that it hadn’t hit me until today that I’m going to be a mom, a mom to a son…it’s so surreal. I was never the type of girl who grew up thinking about marriage and how many kids I wanted. I always thought I would be the last of my friends to have a kid and now that it’s happening to me it’s still a little unreal. I’m going to be a mom. Wow. And I’m half way there. Holy crap.  Time really does fly by.

Now it’s time to choose a name, which I think is going to be one of the hardest things for me because I am so indecisive =/ It has to be something awesome yet sound normal when I’m yelling at the kid to clean his room…

Any suggestions??

j “the kid IS my son” ewels

It’s been a long time my pretty pony’s but I’m back. And I got a whole lotta shizz going on.

In my last post I said that I was kinda over sharing my life online because of certain people who were once on my team but alas, are no longer on it. But then I really thought about it and  came to realize that I was doing myself a disservice.  My blog is like my therpist.  When I need to get something off my chest I can come here and get all kinds of feedback which keeps me open minded and for the most part, sane.

So yeah, I’m going to be a mom!

After what happened last year I was afraid of it happening again so this time around I waited 3 months to tell people. I am now 20 weeks and it has been a rollacoster, to say the least.

The first three months were rough. I don’t know why they call it ” morning sickness” because you can feel sick ANY time of day.  For me it was ALL DAY EVERYDAY.  It was the worst. It’s like having a hangover but without the fun partying the night before.  I didn’t think I was going to make it. I hate throwing up but at certain points you get desperate just to feel a little bit better.  Oh and forget about eating your favorite foods, pizza was my worst enemy. Have you ever barfed up pizza??  Yeah, it sucks hardcore. All I ate for the first trimester was bread and water.  Oh and rice. Woo-hoo.  The trick is to eat every two hours but when the THOUGHT of food makes you sick  it’s kinda hard.

Then there’s the pain. Oh yes, there is pain. You would think that because you don’t get your lady friend every month that you will be cramp free for the next 40 weeks. Sike! Of course you get cramps…you have a person growing inside of you stretching your uterus like it’s their job, which it is, but still, it hurts. I won’t even get into the back pain.

For me, the worst part is the fear in the back of my mind of having another miscarriage. I didn’t realize how much it messed me up until I saw those two little lines. Even now that I am 5 months the fear is still there. I just keep praying that everything will be ok. It sucks. My heart is always pounding when I go to the doctor, thinking that I will get bad news.  But knock on wood, so far so good.

There’s a bunch of other stuff that happens but I don’t want to scare anyone out of getting pregnant…lol. I will say the good outweighs the bad. When you see the heart beat, when you get to hear the heartbeat, your first sonogram print out, the little kicks, it’s all awesome.  Oh, I also forgot the people being really nice to you and the boobs. Those are a big plus.

Being pregnant has made me appreciate my mom so much more.  Along with all moms.  Just to know what they went through to have us, it’s crazy.  The pain, the stress, the moodiness, the swelling, the scars, the sickness, the bills…everything, and that’s BEFORE the little bean is born. Forget about the whole “raising” thing.  Geeze…

Tomorrow is the big sono day. The day we find out if we’re having a boy or a girl! Most people think it’s a girl, but I’m going with boy.  Whatever it turns out to be, as long as they are healthy, I will be happy =)

So, I want to hear from all my mom’s out there…Boy’s vs. Girl’s-What do I have to look forward to????

Thanks for sticking with me and sharing my ride =)

I don’t really use the word “hate” when talking about people.  I usually say I dislike someone , but once in a while the H word slips out.  Oops.

As you can see I haven’t been blogging. I have some major things happening in my life and I forget that not everyone who comes here wishes me well.  It sucks because when I started blogging it was really fun. I enjoyed sharing my life and connecting with people all over the world.  I felt really connected to my readers, they were there for me through my good and hard times.  But now that has changed.

I wish I could go more into the details but I’m trying to avoid drama in my life.  What I will say is I don’t appreciate when my character is attacked and when people don’t own up to their faults.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and I will be back blogging soon <3

I know, we all want the Chanel Jade nail polish color, but come on…it’s sold out everywhere and forget about ebay, unless you want to spend over $50 dollars on ONE bottle on nail polish.  Luckily Essie has come to the rescue with their MINT CANDY APPLE.  It’s more on the aqua side but nonetheless it looks really good on, no matter what color skin you have.  Ask Ramona =)  I have to say that Essie has redeemed themselves from that crappy Neon collection where you had to put on 80 coats to get the color you wanted.  I put on 2 coats and I was good to go. Yay essie!
