Pregnancy Update: 34  Weeks..
Yeah, yeah, I know, my belly is HUGE! I still have 6 more weeks to go and from what I've learned, I will get  a little bit bigger. I honestly thought I was abnormally big, but after seeing the doctor, my weight is exactly where it should be. The nurse was checking Ethan's heartbeat and was stunned at how strong it was. I was worried because she looked genuinely surprised, but she assures me that that is VERY good! YAY! :) Baby is A-OKAY!
Oh, there's a funny story I wanted to share! So in the beginning of my pregnancy, I learned that I will most likely go through a period of what they call Mommy Brain, Momnesia, Pregnancy Brain, or Pregnancy Amnesia. Honestly, I've never heard about it before until a friend of mine told me about it. And even so, I didn't believe it would happen to me.. Yeah. I was wrong. It happened.

I have been drinking a lot of milk lately due to a lot of heartburn (doctor warned me this would happen and it SUCKS!!!). We all thought it was weird how fast we finished the milk (I thought I was the only one that constantly drank it). A few days later, the boys found it sitting in the cupboard/cabinet.. Ew.. And it was of course MOLDING at this point! Damnit! A half gallon of milk still left, WASTED! The boys of course accused me. Haha, the whole time I'm thinking, "It couldn't have been me. I would have remembered if I did something like that.." *Smacks myself* Really, Jen? If you would have realized, you wouldn't have put it in the cabinet in the first place, idiot! Pwahah~ I can confirm that it was definitely me. Today, I ALMOST put the milk in the cabinet, AGAIN. But at least this time I realized it! *pats self on back for not wasting milk again*

Hehee.. Anyways, everything else has been ok. I'm totally not liking the extra water weight in my feet and thighs, but whatever. I can get rid of that after, hopefully. It's so weird how in some pictures I look like a freaking humpback whale, but in others I look like my normal self (with a belly). I'm definitely going to be doing a maternity photo shoot with babe soon! I hope I look good! :D

Oh yeah, one thing I do want to complain about is how often I need to pee.. OMFG. I've already went pee about 3 times writing and editing this entry! I CANNOT walk around for 15 freaking minutes without needing to tinkle. This little guy is taking a heavy toll onto my bladder and I do not like it one bit! I'm worried because a girlfriend of mine's bladder was NEVER the same after her two kids. She still has to go as if she's pregnant. AHHHHHH!!!! I hope that doesn't happen to meeeee!

Oh, great. I need to go pee.. AGAIN. 
Thanks, Ethan. You owe mommy a new bladder! x) Pwahaa~

 Love  Packages!
I feel so blessed to have met some of the sweetest people through the blogging community! I've received two amazingly wonderful packages from two even MORE AMAZING people Alex & Lisa (will link their blogs below!) They have made my Christmas/Birthday just that much more special with their kindness and generosity. Love these girls! :) I just hope they like my gifts as much as I LOVED theirs! And if you're wondering, these were NOT swaps! These girls were sweet enough to send these "just because". Thank you girls SOOOOOO much! I love you!
From: Alexandra (www.thisisalx.blogspot.com)
I've been wanting to try the mini BB cream set and had been contemplating on ordering some! It's like she read my mind, I was sooo excited to see this! :D *Squealsss* Thank you, babe!


From: Lisa (www.allthingslisaaa.blogspot.com)
This girl sent me so much goodies!!! All the edible treats are just about gone already. It's like she read my mind too! She knows how much I LOVEEEE my Hello Kitty! And y favorite chocolates w/ macadamia AND li hing gummiessss!! AHHHH! And I NEEDED a compact mirror to carry around with me too. And just look at how cute the baby stuff is! Lisa is such a doll! She's due around the same time I am and I am so happy for her. She's so lucky to be having a precious baby GIRL! You already know she's going to be gorgeous, just look at her mama! 

So cute, right?!

I didn't even know they made Mauna Loa Hershey's Kisses!!!! I'm definitely going to have to ask her to send me more of these if I can't find it here in Washington. I am ADDICTED!

Visit and be sure to follow them! :) Like I said, they are amazing girls. 
You'll love them as much as I do!

  1. Oh my gosh. You are looking SO good at 34 weeks! I'm worried that when I get pregnant I will be a hot mess at that point. I'm really glad to hear that it's going so smoothly, it's always good to hear, I'd personally be worried every day whether or not I was doing it right LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Aww Jen! you're belly is so cute! hope I can look as cute as you when i'm that far along! :D

    but yes i must agree with the pregnancy brain - after my two kids.. i STILL am like that haha.. like i'll be talking to someone, mid conversation i'll go "what were we talking about?" lol.. craziness! i've done that milk thing before!

    but for the pee thing - after my two kiddies, i peed normally - i could hold it for 12 hours! (when i was working as a nurse i'd always have to hold it).. so we'll see how my bladder holds up after this baby! don't forget to do your kegel exercises! ;P
