3 Months

Yesterday Andy and I were busy lying around doing as little as humanly possible, therefore my 14 week post comes a day late. Nugget is busy growing, although still no real signs that he/she is in there. My belly isn't popping out yet and in fact this morning when I got dressed I looked pretty close to my pre-preggo self. Still a little extra padding, but my pants are feeling a tad loser, guess I am not as bloated today as normal. Or it could be that I went hiking with Dad, Big Butter and Dad's Fiance (notice my progress!). Despite that, I decided to wear a maternity top this morning. Last week I finally tested out my thrift store theory and wouldn't ya know, I made out like a bandit. MUAH HA HAAAAA! I ended up getting 6 barely used tops, pretty much all of them from Motherhood, and a kakhi skirt. It felt like a steal. I washed everything this weekend and decided today was the day to try one of them out. I definitely like not having to think about keeping my shirt down and walking past mirrors thinking I look a little stuffed-sausage-like in my regular shirts. This shirt is uber-comfy and to top it all off, I already had some accessories that went with it. So I actually look a little put together today. GASP! Could it be? A girlie victory? Well maybe it would be a true victory if I had put on some lip gloss and wore a pair of heels. We'll call it a mini-victory.
Anyhoodles, this week Nugget is peeing...eeeeewwww! I am glad he/she is isolated in their own little bag. It would be hard for me to think about pee freely roaming around my uterus. I am just going to pretend that by "pee" baby is just pushing water out of his/her parts. Because if I admit that they are peeing, then I have to admit that they are drinking their pee. So gross. Apparently he/she is the size of a lemon. Mmmm this makes me want lemonade.

Hey that reminds me. I haven't really felt any strong cravings. Maybe I am not really understanding what cravings are. Maybe they are just things that sound good at the time and not like 'oh my god, give me a cheeseburger before I kill someone'. I am sort of theatrical, so it wouldn't be a big surprise if I had that wrong. Nugget is moving his/her face around and making expressions. His/her body is growing faster then their giant head. Eventually you will look like a normal baby and not so much like a specimen from Area 51.
Take me to your Leader!

So I need to get better about drinking milk. I thought about it yesterday and realized I didn't have any milk yesterday! Yikes. Sorry bones. I am just imagining myself on one of those Bovina commercials when I am in my 50s talking about Osteoperosis. This morning I ran into the Walgreens by the train stop and grabbed a milk to make up for my total lack of milk intake. I have also been slacking on my prenatals. Talk about a pregnant failure this week. My midwife is going to put me in a choke-hold. Hahaha. That would be kind of awesome. Don't worry peeps I just paused on my blogging to pop the first half of today's pills. They make my pee look like Mountain Dew, even though I drink like 8 million gallons of water every day. That is kind of the only sign that there is something going on with me. I am drinking cup after cup of water like I just crossed the Mohave desert. Ah well, it is good for me and Nugget needs to practice peeing some more probably.
Let's see what other random ramblings can I throw your way. Oh yeah I started collecting some images for ideas. Ideas for what? you say. Well take a look.





Well as this is a post for the nugg, you've probably guessed that they are nursery ideas. And you're right. As cute as I find, what I call, traditional nurseries, I decided a while ago that my nursery colors are going to be red, black, and white (maybe grey too). Basically a room themed after the White Stripes, as Big Butter pointed out. As I started finding these pictures though I kind of liked the whole lime green, black and white thing should Nugget be a boy. I dunno, we'll see. We still have 6 weeks before we know which parts Nugget has, so I am not too anxious to start decorating the room. So, for now I am just collecting images. Well kids, I have to skeedaddle. I am off to Oregon tomorrow for the grand opening of one of my buildings, don't worry I will remember my camera (hopefully...better make a list). Oh yeah and tomorrow is my birthday. Shoot you'd think I had forgotten about that or something. Nopers, I have me a pedicure to show for the fact that the celebration has already commenced. Yep tomorrow I turn the big 22 plus the square root of 36. Yeah I am making people do math. Hey if you want to know my real age then I am going to make you work for it. So it kind of stinks to have to leave town on my birthday, but I choose to look at it another way, I am getting an all-expenses paid three-day vacation....I just have to do some work while I am there and I am leaving Andy behind. Sad face. Oh wells, I will be back for the weekend and we'll figure out somethin' to do together to celebrate. I hope everyone has a great week. I look forward to catching up on all of your blog posts when I get back.

  3. Happy Birthday! No worries on the milk front, I'm drinking enough to keep the entire flock of happy california cows afloat so I'm sure I can loan you some of my vitamin d and calcium. Have a safe trip and explain "grand opening of your building" I don't feel like digging far enough back to find a post about what you do. :)

  4. Happy Birthday! I cannot seem to get enough milk these days - I was always a milk drinker before but now I'm buying two gallons at a time and downing them no problem in a week or two.

    As for the belly bump - mine popped - a few weeks ago. haha. Sometimes I wish I could still "hide" it but I guess my body was ready to show off our baby sooner rather than later.

    I have been collecting ideas too for the nursery - I just did a big post about it in my Dreaming of Baby blog today.
