thoughts...

i was reading the forums and some lady was looking up love songs for weddings. it got me to thinking about our song for our wedding which we used, chosen i think the day before the ceremony (we're very improptu you'll soon realize!)...

"i'll stop the world and melt with you" -the cure, but we used the novelle vague cover instead...

here're the lyrics:
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you(You should know better)

Dream of better lives the kind which never hate(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race(You should see why)
What I'm comprehending a race that long gone by(I'll stop the world)

I'll stop the world and melt with you(I'll stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time(Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you(Let's stop the world)
I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time(Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)

makes me happy to think even though i've only known m for less than 4 yrs (since we met in the beginning of '06), that so much has happened, and so many wonderful things to come, i'm sure.
*including little girl!! <3

29!

not feeling so hot today... actually though, more like hot flashes... :(
i'm trying to eat healthier this last trimester... low on the salts and the carbs and the sugars but it's tough... especially with the uber-hungry-ness... it's difficult to find "good foods". fruits of course, pb, carrots (though not too many b/c i don't want our little girl to come out orange)...

but yah, i've noticed my calves are definitely swelling.
today's measurements:
tummy: 37 1/2" (still)
calf (right): 13 1/4"
ankle (right): est 8"

i want to monitor the swelling in my legs- especially since i haven't taken the glucose test for gestational diabetes and then also since there's been little bit of protein each time in my urine when we visit the dr... need to be careful. also i have been reading some ladies might have preclampsia, but hopefully since my blood pressure has been low this entire pregnancy, we'll be okay. :)

hang in there little girl... 11 weeks or less! :D
all our love... xxxo

Oh one more thing for today-

My calves and ankles are swollen!!! They look huge! The right leg is slightly more swollen than the left... I hope they go back to normal soon. O_o

28 weeks + 3 days...

Weight: ? (a lot probably)

Waist: 37.5”

Swolleness: hmm. Calves are starting to, and feet… when buying shoes I’ve found I need about a 7 3/4… too bad that size doesn’t exist.

 

Little Girl movement: A lot. J

 

Can’t believe actually it’s almost already 7 months!! Wow. Only 2 1/2 more months to go, if that!!

 

YAY!! Xxxxxooooooo.

Active!

Little girl was SUPER active today! I think she moved, hiccuped, turned all day, almost every hour! Amazing still, to know a little person is inside me, and it makes me realize all the weight gain, non-fun stuff about pregnancy is totally worth it. :)
All our love... Xxxo

UP

M and i went to watch "UP" in 3d over the weekend (finally! after waiting since may!!). It reminded me how much i loved disney cartoon movies growing up... and it also made me think how having a baby/child, is life's blessing of reminding us of our own childhood- and how we should never lose that innocence and embrace what or how we once were.

subway day #2

So I can’t think of anything else ‘healthy’ to eat… so subway it is. Again.

 

Lately I have been experiencing hunger pains, and I mean pains.  Like aching but worse! I haven’t ever experienced anything like this before, it’s very interesting really.   And the funny thing is that this extreme instance of hunger has only started the other day- Tuesday, actually… since we went to the doctor.  It’s as if the dr has explained what’s to come in the 3^rd trimester and little girl has heard! And definitely paying attention and taking notes!

 

Peeing- another thing. Though I’m okay, nothing too major, but I definitely feel little girl growing and it’s mostly on the bottom half vs. the top half. My organs are squished I’m sure, but maybe not as squished (thank goodness I believe) as they may be.

 

Today marks 28 weeks btw! Wow, 12 or less to go… I’m hoping for 8. J
