Losing Weight

So it's been four days and 5 lbs lost. While my first reaction was, "alright!" I'm thinking it's not really necessarily a good thing. Does that mean my baby isn't getting anything? Or does that mean I'm not getting anything? I'm ok with that latter. I'm just not ok with the idea that I'm depriving my unborn child of any nutrition. But it's not like I'm starving myself or anything. I eat a lot of whatever I'm allowed to. Mostly salads, with chicken, snacking on different veggies and things. Or maybe the increased amount of veggies just 'cleaned me out' so to speak and that's where the weight loss came from. I don't know. But I'm thinking that if this weight loss continues for the next few days, I may eat something I'm not "supposed" to. Thankfully she's still moving ans squirming in there a lot (even as I type this) and my instincts tell me there is nothing to worry about. It's just my logic getting the best of me. So we shall see how it goes for the next few days.


Oh yeah! I don't have much of the swelling problem anymore. Well, I do but just a little. Nothing like I had those few days before. Or MAYBE I've just gotten used to it. I don't know. Nevermind. I just took a look at my feet and legs and there's still swollen. WIDE. my feet are WIDE! Guess I jsut got used to it.


We got our changing table this past Friday. yay! I didn't think we really need one (and we don't) but it's nice to have one. Somewhere to put all the diapers we got, wipes, etc. So I'm excited to get that up. But for now it's still sitting in my car because I'm not carrying that in by myself and Junior gets back from Austin today.


I learned a new trick this past weekend. Well not really a trick. And I've known about it but for some odd reason I never thought to try it myself. Anyway, it's setting the remote control on my belly. It's so entertaining to watch! I mean I feel Bagel all the time, but even sometimes I miss seeing the movement. With the remote there it kind of catches your attention. So we played that for a while today during her real active part of the day. it's crazy how she can make my belly rock from side to side! I can't wait until Junior get's home so he can see it. Everytime she makes a huge move and I tell him, it's too late. She doesn't do it again. Well rarely. So at least with the remote he can see it for himself. My sis in law, Lisa, also told me what part was which! Ok how does she know and I don't? Well besides the fact she is a veteran mom, she said that during her bed rest days she had plenty of time to figure it out. So I'm taking her word for it. So I felt what it her back and butt. hehe! But that was cool too because I somewhat got a sense of how big she is. Well kind of. I believe her legs are tucked in so I have no idea how tall she really is, but I can get a sense of how long her torso is! It kind of makes me a little more ready to have her. I want to see her already! But at the same time. I read the part in the What to Expect When You Are Expecting that focuses on labor and delivery. oh man. I mean I know it's kind of gruesome, gross and PAINFUL but reading about it isn't much more comforting. But on a brighter note, I guess the more I know and expect the less scary it will be when time comes. At least I hope so! But the question remains, will she be early, on time or late? Out of my neices and nephews, one was on time and three came early. I don't know if that has any bearing on me or not, but maybe. Crazy thing is
I only have about 5 1/2 weeks left. And so if I delivered say 3 weeks early, then that only leaves me with 2 1/2 weeks! Why did I point that out? To freak myself out? I don't know. haha! My sis in law thinks I've dropped a little already. Maybe I did. I don't know. eeek! I can't wait! Well sort of.
