A Jolly Xmas Day

I have an appointment with my new Kaiser doc on Monday, December 6th, at 10am. I got a female doctor, but after looking at her profile it looks like she's a resident and not a full fledged doc yet. Which is cool with me, her profile looks like she's a cool lady, and one of the questions I've written down for her is whether or not a doc will be shadowing her and so on.

Baby has been kicking more and more these days, a lot at night and in the morning, but lately I've also been feeling kicks after eating, which I've heard is what they do. Of course, I've also been getting heartburn on a pretty regular basis during the day. It doesn't really matter what I eat, it gives me heartburn anyway. But it's not super bad heartburn, so I just chug water and deal with it.

I got a cute new journal last night, and I'm going to use it as my pregnancy journal. I got the idea from a friend of mine who said she had used one, and kept records of questions she wanted to ask the doc, random thoughts, and so on. The one I got is super cute, it has little rainbow colored dolls all over it, like those Russian nesting dolls. Shawn and I also went to the bookstore and Walgreens tonight and got more xmas stuff -- garland for the tree, two new music cds, and some towels and pot holders for the kitchen. Walgreens had all kinds of xmas stuff for cheap, so I didn't feel bad, we didn't even spend $20 there and got a bunch of cute stuff. I got a new stocking, too, red and knitted. And I officially have one present under my tree, and another one that needs to be wrapped. Yay, Christmas!!

Finally, my stomach feels huge tonight. I took a picture of it, just to document, cause it feels more ginormous than usual.

Belly Love

I can't help but post up this picture from last night. It's probably my favorite so far. You know how some pics of yourself you like, or are just sort of okay, and then there are those few that you just love so much you want to blow up and hang over your mantle? This is one of those. So indulge me.



I definitely had tacos for dinner last night. I don't feel guilty at all, since I haven't indulged in them in weeks. And my weight gain is progressing pretty much right on course. My morning sickness has mostly gone away, although I still feel sort of queasy when I first wake up in the morning. However, it's not usually bad enough to cause the puking any more.

I'm in serious need of new maternity clothes. It's becoming very difficult to dress for work in the morning. I think a trip to Target is in order. I'd like to get some nice sweater dresses to wear with leggings. Or maybe just a belly band so I can keep wearing my old jeans. But even those are getting a bit snug in the booty...hehe.

Speaking of which, I should probably do my pilates tonight. Can't let this weight gain get out of hand!
