Only a month and a half to go!

Wow, time has been flying by-- or at least it seems to me. Baby is doing fine. He/she gave me a little scare when I didn't feel it moving, but doctors checked it out and of course, after I ate some yogurt he/she was spunky as ever.

I'm so looking forward to seeing my angel and holding him/her in my arms. I'm getting real anxious to know the sex already.

Excited as I am, I am nervous as heck. I pray I can handle everthing. I know the Lord will be with me. I just have to keep the faith.

I love my baby and I love my big boy very much! Thank you, God.

Third Trimester?!!!

I can't believe I'm here already. This pregnancy seems to be going by fast. Wow!
Well everything seems to be going good. My glucose test came back okay. I now start going to the doctor's every two weeks. My aunt and dad dropped off the baby crib, changing table, hamper and tub. Reality is really kicking in. I'm going to have a baby!!! I started registering for my baby shower.

Before my doctor's visit Tuesday, I went to see "Why Did I Get Married, Too." The movie theater and doctor's office are right next store to each other. That movie left me with this guilty feeling that I haven't done enough to communicate with my BD. So I texted him a message that we need to talk and he responded right away. We met, got some things off or our chest. He apologized for his behavior and we agreed to work on communicating better with each other. He says wants to very much be there for me and the baby. I plan to ease back and see what he does and hope for the best.

Oh, my aching body!!

I just found out I have sciatica-- whether it's related to the pregnancy or not, I'm not sure. I've tried moving the baby around-- that doesn't work. Sometimes my right leg goes numb and my right booty cheek, hurts!!!

It hurts the most when I've been sitting for a long time, so I try to move around a lot. I'm still doing the swim-thing.

Not to mention my pelvic ligaments loosened early on the pregnancy so I has already dealing soreness whenever I walk.

Oh, well, par for the course. I know it will be worth it in the end.

What to name my baby...

So this weekend I got a surprise when I found out that an extended friend's daughter has the same name I was planning on for my daughter. I was so disappointed. We're not close friends, but I do see her and the children a few times a year at different functions. I can't name my baby the same name.

I've been on the Internet, playing with different names. This sucks! I have my boys name, but my girl name is really difficult. I like names that are unique, Afrocentric, simple, two syllables and not too crazy.

I'm going crazy trying to figure out a name for a girl! I don't know... I guess it'll come to me at some point.

It was the total opposite when I was pregnant with my son. I had a girl name, but no boy name. I don't think I had his name until I was about seven months.

Hmm, maybe I'm having a girl!!!

Oh, Baby!

So I finally broke down and bought something for my baby. Because I don't know what I'm having, I bought two outfits: one for a boy and one for a girl. They're sooo cute!
It's getting more and more difficulty not to want to know the sex of this baby. Times sure have changed since I had my son. It's hard to find neutral/unisex clothing and items. Then again, I haven't been out shopping that much, but from what I've seen so far... there's not a lot.
Only three more months to go! I can make it.

Oops!

I can't believe it's already Wednesday and I haven't posted in a few days.
It's been a rough week, thus far. Baby is putting a hurtin' on me. He/She is sitting on my sciatic nerve according to the doctors. I've been dealing with pain in my right booty cheek, my back and leg. It started Sunday evening. Monday morning I could barely walk, so I went to the doctor's and that's what they told me. I guess it really kicks in when you're not moving around much, which I was defintely doing on Sunday, just laying around watching movies. I went to the pool Tuesday and I seemed to be feeling okay.
Today the pool was closed and I'm hurtin' I'm at work with a hot water bottle and using my co-workers back massager. This really sucks, but I'll know it'll be worth it in the end.

My BD called a few days ago, asking what size baby clothes he should get. He's such an idiot. I know, I picked him. I was blinded by love. Anyhow, I dididn't even feel like entertaining him. Why do people play so many games instead of saying what they feel? I just don't get it.

Anyhow, my back is bothering me right now, so I need to scretch. Take care.

It's Friday!!!

It's the day everyone looks forward to-- me included. Lately, I've been really tired. I guess it's a pregnancy sympton. I can't wait to go home and take a nap.

Went swimming this morning. The big, hairy, white guy showed up again. Funny though when he saw me and two other black guys in the pool, he stood there for while, then turned around, picked up his gym bag and left. Hmmm...
The lifeguard said he could go in another lane and he just ignored her.
I guess he figured he couldn't be a pool bully today. Oh, well...

No plans this weekend, just to relax. I might start hanging my pictures up and start making my apartment look like a home.
