Baby Bump update 34 weeks!!!

Hello out there! Check my foot work lol! If I could stay in these house shoes and not get dirty looks I promise I would! Time for the update...

 


How I'm feeling: I am going to be totally honest and say I'm feeling over it. I'm super ready to meet this baby I am so in love with. Also lets be real I am heavy, have heart burn, tired, unable to recall anything, and I AM BEYOND OVER the doctor visits, and the finger sticking. Before any super moms get in an uproar I am well aware that at this tme the baby needs to bake a little longer I am simply expressing how I feel as I type this...

How I'm changing: I am extremely irritable lately, my body is the same spreading like hot butter. Also my skin is super hot. My daughter told me the  other day I had a fever after she touched me lol.

What I’m Eating/What I’m Not Eating: I really wish I had some more pickles from St Louis (hubby hometown). I am not sure what Kim Lomax (sorry no link as of yet) is doing to these pickles but the flavors are amazing. She has "sweet hot", "spicy garlic" and other AMAZING flavors.

Total Weight Gained: My 34 week weight is 236. This is a total gained of 13 pounds and a 6 pound loss from my highest pregnancy weight. I have mixed emotions about it. I told myself when I got pregnant that I did not want to go over 250 (my goal weight is 150- losing 100 pounds is very intimidating). Then they told me my baby was weighing in small and my vanity went out the window. So again I'm excited  have only gained 13 pounds but concerned about a 6 pound loss... maybe its from being cautious about these sugar levels.

Sleep: Once I get to sleep its great (for me not my husband who says I am snoring extremely loud), the problem is getting to sleep. I have tons of pillows and struggle with heartburn so getting to a comfortable position is not always easy.

Most Exciting Moment: Getting the stroller car seat travel system I wanted!
Fun Fact: I am dilated 2cm... this could mean everything and nothing lol that is what makes it fun!

Staycation, and mile time

As my FAB week of Staycation ends I need to reflect... this post may be a little long just an FYI.. I managed to lose 4 pounds this week as of Wednesday (Monday will be my official weigh in day from hence forth)!!!! Granted I was totally excited to work out and had the energy as I was not working but it also showed me what I am capable of with some hard work (and lots of stretching  I'm so sore). YAAAY minus four pounds but now I am considering how much extra stress and weight my job adds to my life. 

Got my mile time down woot woot 13.29

I have decided that I need a change, if only in the pay. I am no stranger to hard work and have never had an easy job (if that exists)  but when I look at my workload and my paycheck they are just not comparable. Sure I chose the helping profession and when dealing with people it will always be stressful but there has to be something better than community mental health. That being said I am dedicating fifteen minutes per day (more later) to studying for my NCE test. Once I have an extra 400 or so I will register (then majorly increase my study time) and take the test which will lead me toward being a LPC (licensed professional counselor) and thus open up more options for employment.... I had plans to clean my home and cook everyday and I have managed to cook one time and clean the living room. I did do all my homework for the week prior to it being due. Surprisingly I don't feel bad. I honestly needed a break. I needed to sleep all day after a work out and not be made to feel guilty about it. I'm carrying so much guilt any other time about so many other things so this week I was selfish. I know in hindsight I should have done things differently this week but I needed the breather. I did not want to do anything while I was off so I didn't.... there are so many other things I have to say  but don't know where to start but why whine about it ya know. Its my life and I made whatever decision that got me where I am so I gotta put my big girl panties on and change it. I will say this though. Struggling to lose weight is major and my weight tampers with how I feel about everything else. That being said one day at a time one exercise day at a time I must get this weight off.

Lets end this blog on an up note because with the storms, economy, and price of gas no one needs another downer.... My daughter was some character from monster high again this year. I still have not seen this show but she had a ball trunk or treating in the neighborhood!!! Check her out

*Finishes water, and goes to start cleaning  this nasty ass filthy not so clean place we call home*

Monday Management

Well Well well it is Monday again!!!!! Ok things have been very hectic here but as usual I will stick with the high points….

I have been eating a lot better and have managed to lose 4 pounds!!!! 

fish and veggies only have to count points for the fish!!!

My new addiction and worth all 5 points LOL

One more pound and I get a gold star in weight watchers LOL. I will admit I once thought I’m not going to pay anyone to tell me what to do but something about spending my money has definitely motivated me. I have lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks and only worked out one time. My work outs have been struggling but its cool I plan to start 2 a days in the morning…. (lucky for me I have no pic to post of me sweating like a pig)..

My daughter was in a pageant. 

Interview outfit

Onstage introduction

My father escorted her!!!

As a pageant girl myself in the past I was very excited although it is clear soccer is her thing and it is not meant for her do to the smile walk wave talk thing LOL. She scored very well but did not make the court.

Evening Gown

For talent she did a monologue about the soldiers and the war

My job has been a very sore subject for me but things are really starting to look up. The bugs are dying so at least they sprayed! LOL

My hair is a hot mess. Looks like another sew in is in the works for me. Monday was not my bitch but it was definitely manageable today. I closed a bunch of cases, updated tx plans, and helped my clients gain some insight LOL…. Until next time!!!..

Oh yeah Stay tuned for weigh in Fridays I will be logging my weekly weight loss via the weight watchers meetings…

Mommy Moment!!!!

I absolutely love being a SOCCER MOM!!!!! It is incredible. I am one of those screamers too... Sorry LOL Ok really Im not... I get really involved in the game and I am sure to cheer for all the kiddos on her team! Just wanted to share some pics of my big girl!!!! She did very well this game too. She is her mother's child though because as she got mad her skills seemed to improve LOL
