The past week has really opened my mind up a lot on some things. Sense Raul has left to Montana and well it is just baby girl and I. [Till about March, 20th something.] Ever sense he has left also, she has been extremely active kicking and turning like crazy. And when she hears his voice, oh my does she get rolling! I have also bought her crib [which I took back down so Raul and I could put it up together.] I even picked out the fabric for her glider also. I will be making her some clothes soon also, booking some pregnancy classes and planning my baby shower (: [talk about trying to distract myself.]
I am however thankful that now her kicks are harder, they are not just flutters anymore. And that is constantly giving me reminders that I am not alone. As I lay there now at night, I think how blessed I am to have my best friend with me every single day and every moment. It helps a ton with Raul being away.
Some more awesome news also is,
I started my new job this week! My big girl job as I say. All I have ever worked in is fast food or retail. I have worked by training online and AdvoCare [still doing also], but a job I go to every single day, has never been in my field. If you did not read my blog a few weeks back either, I work at Lake Regional. It is a medical center. I am a personal trainer / nutrition specialist / health mentor to those with anxiety, depression and other mental disorders. I absolutely love it ! It comes with so many awesome things too! [ I am able to work part time [I prefer with being pregnant and when the baby comes], $20 an hour, getting maternity leave, insurance, vacation time, my own office / computer / phone, mileage coverage. paid gym membership, being able to work out with clients, and I make my own hours.] So after two years of having my certification, searching for jobs and constant moving. I finally got a job I am so thankful for. One that offers more than I could ever ask for and at the most perfect timing!! (:
Now for my bump update!!!
Baby girl is weighing 1 pound and is 11 inches long!
Will be a foot by the end of this week (:
Total weight gain: 17 lbs.
Maternity clothes? More so workout gear. Yoga pants, sweats. Thankfully this is my attire for work so I wont have much of a need for maternity clothes just yet.
Stretch marks? None yet.
Sleep: Pretty decent. I pass out and sleep almost through the whole night, however still wake up exhausted.
Workouts: Gosh it is seriously so much easier getting to the gym when you actually work / visit one multiple times a day. I am doing about 15-30 minutes of cardio and light weight training by body group.
Diet: Making some healthier choices now. Packing my lunch eases me from temptation and working in the place I do with people seeing what you eat, makes that support of healthy eating easier.
Best moment this week: Feeling these powerful kicks constantly! See how baby girl reacts when she hears Raul's voice and buying her crib (:
Miss anything? Nope (:
Food cravings: Pizza.... [never ending craving....] also chicken sandwiches.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nothing, been doing pretty good.
Gender: GIRL!
Labor signs: No!!!
Symptoms: Fatigue.
Belly button in or out? In but that bad boy is starting to become flat.....
Wedding rings on or off: On. <3
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy.
Looking forward to: Skyping with Raul, spending time with family this weekend and hopefully seeing baby girl move ! ((:
