The Floor Is Too Cold

 31 weeks and still sick.  As far as pregnancy goes, not much is different.  I've been getting less sleep, but that is mostly due to non stop coughing and a clogged nose.  I also have gotten basically nothing done for the Little Man's room.  We are thinking of going with a puppy theme, and other than the idea of putting paw prints on the walls, that's about as far as we have gotten.  I know if I beg my sister to just take over and do whatever she likes with the room, it will turn out cute, (if you have ever seen her house, you would know that she is really good at making a room look amazing.)  but I need to keep trying to find at least some ideas on my own.

In other things, we have noticed for a couple weeks now that Zuko wont sit on the bare floor.  We are pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that he has not been taken in to be fixed yet.  All of our floors are either wood or tile.  If you have never walked barefoot on either of those surfaces, especially in the winter, let me tell you, it is pretty darn cold.  Way too cold for Zuko's...boys.  

We have also discovered his favorite butt cushion. 

Of course Freckles just lays there and lets Zuko walk all over him.  Zuko will back up, step on Freckles neck and just walk his back legs up there little by little till he gets to his favorite spot.  He has even started sleeping up there.  Which, of course, is adorable.  If only I could get them to to let me film him getting up there.

10 More Weeks+Mamarazzi Monday

I am going to try joining Mamarazzi Monday (first time joining a blog link-up)

This also happens to be on the same day that I try to do my pregnancy post.  Though, I am aware that I didn't post anything last week.  The entire week was packed.  Including an impromptu family baby shower since all of my Aunties were in town.  I did take a picture for it though.

29 weeks

Today is my 30 week marker.  Wow.  10 more weeks and not ready AT ALL.  Especially since this past week and a half, labor has been coming up a lot.  Partly because It came up in our centering group, prompting me to ask my Mom and sister about it.

Also new with the Little Man this week- bladder trampoline.  I was talking to Luis earlier this week and suddenly started saying "stop it"  Over and over.  Between all this coughing, sneezing,(I am super sick today) and tummy kicking, its amazing I haven't wet myself today.

Here is a picture of our little family-minus-daddy-because-he-was -taking-the-picture.

It is a miracle I had the motivation to write this.  Like I stated earlier, I am sick.  Like achy everywhere, anything slightly cool is painful to touch, coughing for 15 seconds at a time, don't want to eat, sick.  Of course I am paranoid about taking any medication, even the ones on my "OK while pregnant" list.  I am rationing out my Tylenol here.  

That being said, any good home "pregnant safe" remedies out there, bring them my way.

Pregnancy Positives

I am finally completely over my cold.  Last Sunday morning, I woke up and could feel a cold coming on, so I have been resting as much as possible.  Luckily, it never got too bad (because all of the resting of course)

 I am 28 weeks today, and feeling a bit big (probably due to the fact that I just ate)Being pregnant is not a walk in the park...unless that walk is really long, making you exhausted  and includes lots of pains and discomforts(and cramps in your calf foot and thigh multiple times a night).  It is not all bad either

Things I Enjoy About Pregnancy:

• Tummy and back rubs.  (Though I am really picky about who can touch my tummy, so please ask)
• Whenever I ask someone for a favor, and my youngest sister is present, you will always hear Hals tell them, "There is a person growing inside her.  Do it"
• Hals also is always trying to do things for me.  Sometimes she gives me the,"What do you think you are doing?" look if I do something for myself.  She is making me extremely spoiled.
• That look people, the ones who have known me longer than I can remember, make when they see my stomach.  Especially if they haven't heard yet.
• Looking at baby things.  Way more fun now than before.
• I have a great excuse for why I am tired, moody, spacey, etc.
• I eat healthier now.  The little man made most sugary and fatty things so unappealing in the beginning  I don't eat as much of them.
• Due to cravings, I have learned that my man can cook steak like nobody's business.
• Some of you may have heard stories of how gross the glucose test is, but honestly...I liked that drink.  I wish I could drink some more.
• Pregnancy pants are so comfy.
• I love looking at my tummy in the mirror.
• People don't think it is weird when I have to go to the bathroom multiple times an hour.
• Thinking about all the things I want to do with the Little Man.
• I absolutely love, LOVE, LOVE when the Little Man kicks me.  It is one of the most amazing things I have ever felt.  It isn't just kicks either.  Sometimes he rolls around and I can feel him move across my tummy for about 2-3 inches.  I was complaining about my ligaments in my side cramping up.  I think he knew, because at that moment, he started rubbing on my side and massaged the pain right away.  That's my mamma's boy.

Like I said, it is not a walk in the part, but it sure can be great.  As long as I don't think about labor.
