A nice and relaxing weekend...

Friday night, Pat decided to go to the track with a friend. I really didn't feel like going and hanging out so I decided to stay in and have my first attempt at loom knitting. It looked way harder than it was. I am so glad I tried it out rather than watching tv or doing something unproductive. I decided I would make a baby hat. My sister, Felicia, got this for me for Christmas a while back and she had even got me yarn. I was always too overwhelmed with the instructions to try it though! The baby hat turned out super cute. I was so proud of myself. It's not the best hat ever but for my first time, I'll take it. I am now hoping I can find a book and try to make a blanket or something else fun for the baby.

Saturday, My mom, Ally, Arlene and I hung out at my mom's pool in her subdivision. It was so nice out. We had a great time and even got some sun. Then Arlene and I went back to my house and I made burgers on the grill. I thought grilling would be much more difficult but it wasn't bad at all. Now I can make Pat more things on the grill! I am so glad the evenings are starting to cool down again! I got to hang out and chat with my neighbor and enjoy the fresh outdoors without sweating my butt off.

Sunday, Pat went and got another tattoo done. His friend (and the one that does tattoos), Jeff, has a pool so I got to swim all day while Pat was getting tortured inside the house...hehe. Since they have a big pool, I swam my little heart out. My legs are sore today. I love the water. I could stay in the pool all day as long as I don't get super cold and there isn't lots of people in there. His wife, Christina, made some yummy nachos, 7 layer dip and turkey burgers on the grill. The nachos were sooo good. I had a great weekend!

As for baby, nothing new. Pat and I were laying in bed yesterday morning and I felt my stomach and one side was super hard and the other side wasn't as hard. I think it was the baby...hehe. I had Pat feel too. It was pretty neat. A few minutes later, I felt the spot again and the baby must have moved. It still feels crazy to me that I am pregnant. I am so blessed and excited for February to come. We have lots of stuff to get done around the house before then. We've been waiting to see what we are having and then we'll have to get moving on cleaning out the guest room to make into a nursery. I can't wait! Just a few more weeks and we'll know what we are having!!!

Nothing really new...

I feel about the same as last week. Still tired at times but I can do things so I am not complaining. The baby is the size of a navel orange this week. It's crazy how fast the blob is growing...maybe I should choose a new nickname soon. :) I have been eating fresh pineapple like crazy....I decided a couple days ago I need to stay away from it for a bit because it started to upset my stomach...oops! I am also into Kettle Corn...yum.

I am having difficulties wearing my pants these days. They just don't seem to wanna buckle up! lol. So sooner than later I have to actually purchase some maternity clothes. Pat and I went into Motherhood yesterday and I felt so weird looking at things. We walked out and didn't buy anything. Maybe I will do my shopping online...hehe. I still have one pair of jeans, a pair of shorts and a pair of capris that fit me. I'll be good for a bit...or maybe next week. I can always wear my comfy yoga pants for a few weeks!

It's so crazy how fast this pregnancy has gone by already. And I know with the holidays fastly approaching, it will be January in no time. I am looking forward to the end result so I'm not complaining!

Baby moving around...

When I posted yesterday I forgot to write about the most exciting part of my day. I think I felt the baby move. I got to work and started working away when I got a fluttering feeling in my belly. It happened about four times and only for a few seconds each time but I definetely have not felt anything like this before. I thought it was too early but I looked it up and some people say they start feeling the fluttering around 12 weeks. So maybe it was baby, or maybe it was just gas...lol. I'll just keep thinking it was the baby though! I can't wait until I can actually start feeling more movement. I am so excited for that part. But I am not too excited for when the baby is ready to come out and beats you up from the inside. 

The baby is the size of a lemon this week. And, it has a layer of hair all over it's body. Weird, right? It's to keep the baby warm until it gets some fat on its bones and then the hair will go away.

I have been thinking about using cloth diapers. Not totally sold on it but have read of people saving a ton of money and it's better on the baby's skin. We'll see....I am thinking it will be too much work. But I am probably going to buy one and possible try them out. They are also adorable! Which is a plus!!! Anyone ever try cloth diapers before?
