I'm sitting here waiting for class to start, so let me tell you about my recent dream. I dreamt that I was in a store with my mom and we were shopping for baby and it was all GIRL stuff. And then, I actually saw the baby and she was chubby with short, jet black hair and dark eyes.
On Friday, I went on what will probably be one of the last adventures I'll have until Peanut's here. My co-worker and I were treated to half-day off on Friday to visit some natural sink holes in the forest. Look at you Peanut! Not even born yet, and already doing cool stuff!
As Peanut's dad will tell you, I'm usually very bouncy and hyper with any physical activities but I could really tell the difference in my stamina this time. I was really tired after the 15 minute walk to the sinkhole.
But not too tired to be silly and stick my tongue out for the camera!
Here's a lizard. I hope you'll enjoy bugs and reptiles as much as I do, Peanut! Just don't go getting salmonella all the time like me :-)
This is the sinkhole - a natural collapsed cave. You can see the tops of all the trees way down there at the bottom. Yikes, I don't like heights!
I am happy to report that I didn't trip over once throughout the whole trek through the jungle. However, there was one moment where I went running down a leaf-littered slope, and Emogene had to save me from banging into a tree. I told them not to worry, if I was gonna fall, I would have thrown myself backwards for you Peanut :-) hehe! I can't wait to do fun things like these with you and your Dad.
This is peanut's dad, having a leisurely pillow-cuddle at 9:30am on a Sunday morning (I was up from 5:30 waaah)....Enjoy it while it lasts Daddy-O!! :-)
My belly was feeling extra "poufy" so I had to get peanut's dad to take some photos for me...Aha yep, it's starting to pop out a little. Thank goodness peanut's auntie in Miami is getting me some maternity clothes. My jeans are starting to get tight at the waist.
Wow, this photo makes it look REALLY rotund! You can also see how my hips are widening (insert big sad face here). Is that the preggy line emerging as well? (Linea Nigra?) Ah well, I still fit in my regular size jeans, but they're mostly low rise, so they don't press too much on peanut. I bet you that I'll need to switch to comfy maternity ones in less than a month though.
And lastly, here's peanut's dad and the 2 fur kids, Techie (being kissed) and Izzy waiting on her turn. I wonder how they'll like the peanut. They're both really gentle, but you never know. I'll watch them like a hawk. Aww, I'm so glad my baby will know Techie. That dog has been the love of my life, my fuzzy companion for the last 7 years, comforting me when I'm sad and making me laugh with his silly antics. The preggy hormones in the early weeks of pregnancy were making me cry when I would think that I only have another 5 - 7 years left with my Techie...but I'm soooo glad my peanut will remember him! Ok let me stop or I'll get sniffy again :-)
Peanut at 11 weeks, aww. You can make out the head on the left and the baby's all curled up. It was lively and wiggling about its arms and legs like a little ninja. I hate the word "it" - can't wait till i know the sex! On another note, I apparently have gained 3lb booo, lol. Everything looks good so far :-)
