our 1st wed anniversary and 35 week update

we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary this past weekend back at our old stomping grounds in half moon bay.  the weather was lovely!  i can't believe it's already been 1 year since our wedding.  time flies and so much has happened within one year.  it was a little hard to really "celebrate" since i'm prego and uncomfortable more often than not, but we had a great time nevertheless.  as long as we're together, we always have a great time!

when we first got to the ritz we checked into our room then went for a walk.  saturday I was wearing heels and well, we didn't get very far since i guess now i really cannot wear heels very well.  well maybe it was just those shoes.  the shoes i wore for dinner were just fine!  we had dinner in downtown HMB at a little place called Pasta Moon.  bringing back a little of our Italian honeymoon I guess?    the food was great and we were completely stuffed.  we didn't forget the dessert.  we always have separate stomachs for that!  then we decided to try to drive around to see if we could catch a better glimpse of the fireworks show by the harbor, but in the end, we found that the roads had already been blocked off so we turned around and headed back to the ritz to relax.  we sat by our firepit outside our room for awhile just chatting about babies things and our lives.  we caught a little glimpse of some fireworks by the harbor from the hotel, but we figured it wasn't so much a big deal since we've both seen pretty spectacular fireworks in singapore and japan before and the fireworks shows here just don't quite measure up.  (shrug)  so, we just relaxed and did our own thing.

one special thing about that night...so, at our wedding, i really wanted to write our own vows, but hubby didn't really want to (at the time).  we'll call it nerves, but we had written his vows over the course of last week and he let me read them.  that melted my heart.  he is the best and i love him so dearly.  better late than never eh?    anyway, that was very special to me.

the next day we just had anniversary brunch together then headed back to reality again.  just a short little get away, but it was great!

hubby said it was like torture for him to be looking out at a golf course and not be able to play.  poor thing. haha.






hubby MAKING me take a picture.  ugh!



here i am at 35 weeks - 8 3/4 months.  39 inches and counting...

hubby was quite ill two weeks ago and in the process of trying to take care of him I guess I caught a bug too.  so for the past week i've been miserably ill with a bad cold and i think only today, i would say it's better.  i would've been really bummed if i had still been really sick this past weekend, but it wasn't as bad.  usually i don't get sick when hubby is and sick and if i do happen to get sick, i'm only sick for 2-3 days tops.  this time it lasted for over a week now.  so on top of all the pregnancy discomfort i've been feeling i had to deal with being sick too and that just WAS NOT fun at all. 

it's been more and more difficult and uncomfortable lately and i'm just hanging in.  i start my maternity leave 7/22 which I guess is a bit later than most, but since i've been working at home a lot more it makes it a bit easier I guess.  still have some loose ends i need to tie up before taking off from work.  we have our next dr. appointment next tuesday and will be doing an ultrasound to make sure the baby is still in the right position.  tomorrow we also have a scheduled tour of the hospital we will be giving birth at.  the nursery is still in progress.  more specifically the hardwood floor.  we've got a lot of things to go into the nursery already.  the crib and mattress arrived and also the new glider/rocker chair.  i love the chair, but even though it's super comfy, i'm still a bit uncomfortable just sitting for a long time.  still have to make a list of the things we still need and still have to do.  anyway, this month is a busy month...toodles for now.

32 week update

Today I had my 32 week check up.  Everything seems to be going just perfect.  My blood pressure, although low, seems to be fine.  94/56.  Most of the time I still feel faint and lightheaded though, but I guess I can't do too much about that.  The lower blood pressure is normal for pregnancy.  My Doc said my blood pressure should start to go up a bit later on in this trimester.  Baby's movements have definitely been getting stronger with each passing day.  She has also now settled into head down position.  Her feetsies always kick out to my right. 

This morning when I got out of bed my insides hurt as if an elephant sat on me the whole night.  It was definitely really hard to get comfortable in bed last night.  It felt like an eternity before I actually fell asleep, only to wake up a little while later to go to the bathroom.  I've really only felt true discomfort this trimester.  Well, despite the 2.5 months of morning sickness.  It's ok though.  It'll all be worth it.

Yesterday I felt really out of it and my head was all dizzy, but today I'm a little better and was able to get myself out for some fresh air and take a walk.  That felt pretty good.

My tummy now measures just about 38 inches and I'm at about 132 lbs.  That's about 24 lbs. gained.

We're still working on the nursery.  The room is painted, but hubby has ripped out the carpet and we'll be putting in hardwood floor in that room evenutally.  We're trying to figure out the best way to do it since we have concrete subflooring.  All the baby gifts and stuff we've accumlated thus far is just sitting around the house.  Most are in bins, other stuff is sitting on top of our futon.  The house feels like a mess, but I know there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. 

I can't believe our one year wedding anniversary is coming up so quick.  We're still trying to decide what to do.  It's a long weekend that weekend too (7/5).  Napa sounds like a good idea, but hubby was a little hesitant since I can't drink, but hey,  I think I can still enjoy Napa without alcohol.    I still love to smell the wine and take little itty bitty sips. 

The weather's been quite gloomy lately which is kind of a bummer since it is already June, but I kind of don't want the weather to get too hot either since I get so uncomfortable in the heat.  Today's pretty nice.  Still kind of breezy, but the sun is a shinin'. 

love...

im a little irritated that i was left at home while M went to go play softball.  i understand that he doesn't want to let the guys down, but with a prego wife who is not feeling so well and is hungry, would u still leave?  so what if u miss one game?? 

i started crying out of nowhere and couldn't stop for half an hour.  my dad happened to call while i was in the middle of crying so he made me tell him what was wrong.  then it became this whole big deal and now my brother is coming over to bring me food and some surprise.  sigh....

maybe M feels like because i'm so independent and always like to do things myself he figured i'd be ok, but there are days now where i just want him to make me a priority over other things and i don't really feel like he has.  =/  sometimes i am a big baby, but when i am, i want to be babied!!  is that too much to ask!??!?
