Lavender Rain

I’m finally done being pregnant! (For now anyways…) Not sure if I want more after that, but for now I’m happy with my daughter and son…

I haven’t blogged in a while… I just really could not come up with anything to write lately. Life is still the same. My 17 month old toddler, Zoe, is doing really well. She’s learned a lot of words and I think she’s gonna learn how to talk soon. She already knows how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ It’s summer here and I’m thankful that it isn’t as hot as last year. I’m a sweaty pregnant woman, so I’m glad that the weather has been on my side lately. The temperature has been just right.

I have been looking at maternity dresses, but it’s so hard to find something that I really like… but I fell in love with this one. I think it’s the cutest maternity dress ever. I’ve been begging my husband for it. lol, I really don’t own that many maternity dresses… I’ve been getting regular dresses, but I make sure there is room for baby bump. But this dress is just too cute. I wish I could just go to Korea, they make a lot of cute maternity clothes there.

I’m 34 weeks pregnant now. Baby is arriving soon! I’m honestly more nervous about going on labor this time around. With my first pregnancy, I was really calm when my water broke. I was just too excited to experience labor… but now that I know exactly what to expect, I’m more scared of it than anything. People have told me that it’s easier the second time around, but I still can’t help but worry.

Anyways, here’s a scrapbook page. I used to predesigned template. I haven’t had time to create a template from scratch lately.

I’m about 28 weeks along and it’s starting to get uncomfortable. Leg cramps, swollen legs and feet, I feel heavy. Even though I’m experiencing all this, I still decided to wear stilettos yesterday. yeah, I must be crazy, but those shoes were new and I was really excited to wear them yesterday. I’m getting really excited to have this baby, but I know it’s going to be really hard and we’re going to need to re-adjust again. I honestly just feel like I just started to adjust with my first baby and now I have to do it again. I always feel the need to put my feet up and just sit around. I really have no energy to do any housework. Seriously, look at our house right now, it’s not something I’m very proud of. Zoe’s toys are everywhere… dirty dishes are everywhere… and there’s the laundry that I left sitting for 2 days that I have to fold.

But I digress, tomorrow The Sims 3 is coming out and I’m definitely going to get it. I’ve been looking forward to it and I’m glad I could finally get my hands on it.

So today, I had my first ultrasound appointment for Baby #2. We found out the gender, but we decided to keep it between myself and husband. It’s just more fun that way. hehe So when this baby is born, everyone will be surprise! I’m due in August… and this time, I’m seriously considering not getting an epidural for the birth, but we’ll see… hehe…

*My sister Steph thinks that that long thing sticking out of the baby is the baby’s penis. She’s so convinced it’s going to be a boy, but that long thing the baby’s penis? I think it’s too big for the baby this size. My sister is only 14, so what does she know? Still, it made me LOL ^_^

I am honestly getting worried about this pregnancy. Many people have noticed that I seem to be losing weight, that I appear thinner than usual… I can’t really check my weight because we don’t have a scale here. I feel bad for my baby because I haven’t been paying much attention to this pregnancy. I have been too busy taking care of Zoe and my husband to even take care of my health and my unborn baby’s health. I must admit that every time there is nothing to eat here at home but instant noodles or canned foods, I end up not eating… I find them to be disgusting. Sometimes when I try to eat, I don’t finish even if I’m hungry. Perhaps I’m a picky eater, but sometimes I feel like I’m gonna throw up if I eat something I don’t like. I never had this problem with my first pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Zoe, sure, I did lose weight rapidly from hyperemesis but I gained weight as soon as I recovered from that disease.

I have been praying more about this baby. I just want a healthy baby. I hope that I gain weight the way I’m supposed to. Losing weight during pregnancy is scaring me… and I’m already on my second trimester, so I’m supposed to really start gaining those pounds.
