Friday Doctors Appointment

Well, I had my doctors appointment on Friday. So far so good I suppose. I'm now weighing in at 132.6 lbs so I'm up 7.1lbs since March 13/12. It's the very first time I've ever been in the 130's. I don't think I passed 125 with Cam. Anyhow long story short. Baby seems to be just fine. But they are sending me for another ultrasound (only supposed to get one at 20weeks, which I did) they want to check on the size of baby because my uterus is measuring small. I know that I don't produce big babies. I carry them mostly in my back. I remember when I had Camron they didn't think he would be over 6lbs. Well, Cam was 7lbs 2oz so I proved them wrong there. Part of me is FREAKING OUT!!!! Although I know better not to. I just want to get my ultrasound over and done with so I can have peace of mind. Right now I can feel the doubt and insecurities in the back of my brain edging their way in, making me paranoid. I have to phone on Tuesday or Wednesday to make my ultrasound appointment. Which I'm sure I'll have to wait at least two weeks to get in. My last day of work is Thursday and I will have lots of time on my hands to sit and worry so I must make sure that I keep myself busy. Not that I don't have 101 things planned to do to keep myself busy until either baby gets here or cam gets out of school.

On a lighter note, Dr. Roux is proud of me. One of his kids plays soccer so I see him almost every Monday and Wednesday. He is happy to see that I am out there coaching, because "most women now a days use pregnancy as an excuse to sit around and be lazy and get fat". LoL his words, not mine. Although it is hard on my body I am happy to do it and want to learn more. As well as get myself back into shape. So, I've decided once I'm not working anymore Jax is going to be my work out partner. I'm going to go for 2-3 walks with him while cams in school (just short ones to build my endurance) then make sure I play and run around in the yard with him for short increments in order not to strain myself and build my endurance like that.

Anywho I best be getting ready for work.

Door to babies room

Guess What? I finished it! Now to fill it with all sorts of wonderful goodies, I already have a decent stash but still have some random stuff to get as well. I've gotta say that I am pretty proud of how well it turned out. Especially dealing with such a small space.. Once I got it all together it was hard to hold back the tears. I am so excited for this baby to come. I can hardly contain myself. I'm blessed to be so crafty and am very lucky that I got to include Cam on almost all the projects. Made him feel like he contributed as well. 

Well, there is is folks, my pride and joy before the real one arrives <3

Soccer

Well... so far soccer has been interesting. We have gotten our butts handed to us twice now lol. Talked to another coach today and he highly recommended  practices on the weekends. So I figure if I hold a practice at least every other weekend (because I'm sure these people have lives and don't want to dedicate all their time to  their kids soccer games) hopefully that will be enough that these kids can come out of soccer enjoying it and possibly kicking butt. Our first game we were up against a team whom have already had a previous season under their belts and all played together last year. So far this has sure taught me a lesson. ASK FOR HELP!!! and don't trust people when they are trying to con you into doing something. I'd like to shake that man for saying that I didn't need to hold a practice. Seriously dude, how long did you think it would take me to figure it out. The reason why I am going to try so hard is because I think I might really want to coach again next year. It feels good to get out there and do something for the kids. As much as it stinks for the kids this year. They are my test subjects. If I can turn this team around then I know I can become a good coach. There's a lot of learning involved and I am motivated to do it. But like I said, I just need to ask for help when I need it.

I am so glad my last week of work is approaching. 5 days of work left. One day tomorrow and 4 days next week. This should at least free up some time for me to concentrate on coaching the little ones and making sure that they have a good time. I'm lucky enough to have a young kid helping me out as well. Because I am 33 weeks pregnant and getting more pregnant by the hour it seems. I feel like I can't do much without having braxton hicks contractions or my herniated belly button acting up. Don't get me wrong, I am by no means complaining. I have been blessed not to have too many issues during pregnancy. But I do wish I could run around with the kids without paying for it later. I made the mistake of playing with the kids this past Sunday and about 2 hours later I could hardly move. It was absolutely rediculous. Made me feel sad to be so out of shape. It's not like this pregnancy is getting any easier tho, and I am six years older than I was with my last pregnancy haha..
Oh well,, Here's to hoping for positive change. Go Team

May Already??

Is it really already the 5th of May? This doesn't quite seem possible. It feels as if only yesterday was the beginning of April. Time sure does seem to fly now a days. As it stands I only have 2 weeks left of work. Can you say "exciting"!! Two weeks of work = 8 shifts left as I am only working 4 days a week as of Monday!

We seem to have caught the "busy" bug this weekend. This morning Camron and I headed out bright and early to go to the community clean-up. Thankfully it didn't take us too long to finish the part of town we were designated to clean up. We were along the highway by the golf course so Cam found about 6 or 7 golf balls that I let him keep. That kept him going because he was tired and not feeling 100%. I think it's very important that Cam sees us as adults doing things to help in our community. Set a good example for the new generation. I want my kids to care about the environment and do what they can in any way that will help. We have a birthday party this afternoon/evening at a hobby farm just out of town. That should be fun. I at least hope Cam is feeling a bit better so he can just be a kid and enjoy himself. I got to be honest when I say that I am REALLY not looking forward to another outside activity. It is beautiful, sunny, and warm but the wind just seems to take all the energy from a person.

Tomorrow we have a soccer practice / meet and greet at two. I don't think I mentioned on my blog yet that I am coaching Cam's soccer team this year. I'm actually looking forward to it (other than being preggers and having to stand out in the heat/cold and not being able to just relax and watch a game) I am fairly lucky because these kids are so young that they don't recommend getting too technical and teaching them too much. They just get to go out and have fun. So we will be busy with games every Monday and Wednesday night. Then right after practice we have another birthday party to go to. Also outside. I really hope that maybe the wind will just stay away tomorrow. Although I may be wishing for too much. We do live in the windy city of Dawson Creek after all.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend.
