I'm pretty sure that this is weird
Well, I'm just sitting here, kind of bored...
I'm squeezing colostrum from my nipples and then licking it off... I really want to know what it tastes like, but it doesn't really taste at all, kind of bitter I guess. Um, I've got a lot of it too...
My belly button is starting to petrude slightly, mainly the top of it is tipped out, and the bottom is still in, so it's lopsided, kind of funny. It feels weird when I rub my fingers over it.
I'm starting to feel like I can't do a whole lot. Bending over to pick something up is a HUGE task. Serious, I stare at the object, go over my plan of attack, attempt to bend as if I wasn't carrying a huge watermelon on my front side, realize I infact am pregnant and can't do that, and then spread my legs and go down in sort of a squat. I have to make sure to hold on to something or go extremely slow so I don't topple over forward.
My belly itches, but so far no stretch marks... Now if I can make it the next 8-11 weeks without any stretch marks, then YAY... But, I don't know if that was going to happen.
I was pretty excited about my small amount of weight gain only 11 pounds at my 24 week appointment, but I seriously think that I have totally gained the rest of my *25-35* pounts in just one month. I've eaten a lot, and I'm very big around the breasts, belly, and probably the ass but I can't twist to look, and mirrors are hard to tell. Hopefully I don't gain too much, because I went into this pregnancy overweight anyway, and I'm in an okay weight range. I'd like to be able to work it off, and be fit and healthy.
Brandon and I are doing SO GREAT... Or at least from my perspective we are, I hope he feels the same way.
Work has been going really good, I've been getting a nice amount of hours, and shifts where I actually have energy. I'm going to be on the safety committee at DQ when I come back from my maternity leave, which I will probably take around October 8th. That's two weeks before my due date.
Wow I'm so excited for school to start... YAY. I start Microsoft office on the 6th of September, and I start my German class at the college on I THINK the 17th of September... The nice thing about this fall is that I have two classes, and I will still be working a little bit, so I'll be able to save a little more money before I go on leave. One class has no homework, and the other class, I am assuming has a bearable amount, probably mostly just practicing the language nightly, and some packets, or whatever... Obviously I've never taken it so I don't know. But I can handle 15-20 hours a week of work, 2-4 hours of homework, and then 5 hours spread out morning and night of actual school. When Aydin comes, I will not be working at all for 3 months, so that means I'm really only going to be away from him for a few hours out of the day. WOOT!
I really need to start looking for babysitting, because Brandon will be with him when I go to my morning class which is 2.5 hours (right next to my house), and then I don't know what will happen when I go to my night class which is about 1.5 hours, plus the 30 minute bus trip there and back (2.5 hours).
Anyway, I'm just talking this out.
My mother came by today and brought me an awsome crib nice brown wooden crib that goes from infant to toddler to child (it's a nice 5-6 years worth of bed! And a great teddy bear bed set. She also brought me a breast pump *medlia*... I think, and a bouncer, belly time blanket, and some teddy bears... HOW SWEET. She was so excited to give those things to me. Lately we have been missing eachother a lot. I noticed that she sounded sad when I couldn't come to visit her, and I want to so bad. So I am thinking of tomorrow asking her to come over, and maybe help me clean and organize the room. It's a good way to spend time with her, and still get something done. Not to mention I seriously need some motivation.
I AM 29 WEEKS PREGNANT... 11 WEEKS LEFT.
Thanks for caring.
