BABY HIT ME ONE MORE TIME
My girlfriend's younger, annoying sister was trying to put the moves on me. I was thinking why couldn't it be another girl. That was my dream last night. The night before I dreamt that my baby boy was so big and heavy that I couldn't pick him up. I had to leave him in the basement propped up in a chair and look in on him from time to time. I had that dream because I have gained 25 pounds.
At the doctor's office they got my weight and I said 'Oh my god!' I knew I gained, but I was shocked by how much. I quickly did the math in my head. I brought up my weight and asked my doctor if it was too much. She said everyone is different on when they gain the weight but I should gain a total of 25 to 30 pounds for the whole pregnancy. I'm only 5 months. Great. She told me to change what I'm eating or be more active. No more burger and fries, no more chips, no more cookies. I've already been going to the gym 3 times a week, I think I should go more. I was a little depressed for a couple days but I'm over it now.
I bought Scott a little box of chocolates and a little Valentine Snoopy. I wanted a piece of chocolate and when I couldn't find any, I took his Valentine's candy and presented it to him. "Happy Valentines Day Baby!" Then I ate two pieces of chocolate.
Sometimes people ask me if I'm craving certain foods. Not really. I just want to eat the same junk I ate before I was pregnant, just more of it. I have to realize I cannot eat the same way I ate pre-pregnancy. I ate whatever and as much as I wanted without much consequence. I have to change my thinking and my diet now because I have baby boy to think about.
I'm going to rub some sesame seed oil lotion on Liger's nose. His nose is so dry that it's cracked on both ends. I'll have to be very careful not to cover up his nostrils, or he won't be able to breathe and he could die.
I don't have any stretch marks, but I have a faint linea nigra. My belly button is almost an outey now.I have to upgrade my C cup bra again because it is too tight. I have signed up for a breast feeding class. It sounds fun. I'm not taking the child birth class because I can just read what I'll need to know.
