The Naked Truth About Pregnancy

I ordered the book, Belly Laughs, by Jenny McCarthy. I got it in the mail today, and believe it or not, I already finished it! It was just so funny I couldn't put it down. She writes about what people don't talk about! The funny, embarrassing, and gross truths of pregnancy! I was laughing out loud at parts, like how she made her husband pull the car over so she could pee...in her friends driveway! Or how she was falling asleep mid-sentence. And how she gave up looking at her backside in the mirror because it made her depressed to see all that cottage cheese! I saw myself in her stories a lot! Some, I won't mention here....I'm sure you are relieved!
Well, I had another Dr. appointment this week. It was just a routine checkup. My blood work came back great! Nothing wrong with mommy, and nothing wrong with baby! I really liked the midwife I had this time. She was from Wisconsin. She made me feel at ease, was very friendly. I'll have to keep her in mind for my delivery :)
At my next appointment, on June 5th, we get to find out the sex! I am soooo excited! I'll have to fight the urge to go out and buy all pink or all blue baby items. I've already had to fight the urge not to buy stuff when I see it! Knowing the sex will make it even harder! And I suppose it's going to be hard to keep the news a secret! People will be mad at me I am sure! Maybe I should just tell people I never found out!
The baby is growing fast, and is now able to make facial expressions. Good ones, if it's anything like mommy! Also, a layer of hair has grown all over its body to protect it from the amniotic fluid, but it will lose it right before delivery. It can make sucking actions too! Getting ready to nurse.
Now that school is over, I will have to find some hobbies to fill my time. I plan on getting into our Rosetta Stone. So hopefully by the end of the summer, I can speak a little Spanish! I also signed up for a summer Pathophysiology class online. So that will take up some time as well. I also want to get in shape. When grandma was here, we took her to Red Rocks Amphitheater, where people were working out and running the stairs. She said, "you do this, Brianne, and your delivery will be easy!" That really stuck with me, so hopefully I can get motivated! I've been biking (not sure how much longer I can do that, due to safety) and walking hills. I'd like to get into some prenatal yoga somehow. I haven't found any videos yet.
I tried on my summer shorts today.....no way jose. Not gonna work! I guess I should invest in some comfortable capris and skirts!
I didn't take a nap today! That's the first day in a long long time! So maybe I'm getting my energy back! Let's hope!
Love you!
