34 Weeks... and counting...

Yep, I am about done with this. How is there about 5 weeks left?? (tomorrow i'll technically be 35 weeks). I am feeling SO LAZY! I can't seem to do mundane tasks around the house anymore, poor Chris has had to pick up the slack. We did finally get a rocker/glider for the nursery. I love it already. I sometimes grab my coffee and book before work and snag a little "me" time. If you haven't read "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple, I suggest you do. I know talking about books isn't what this blog is all about, that's for the other blog (with the girls - Arianna and Marsha - and we have all agreed we want to get back into it) www.shelfnotes.com. Shameless plug, but if you are interested in some good recommendations, we've reviewed over 400 books and they are searchable by name and rating. Anyways, back to the book I'm reading... it's our next book club pick and I'm enjoying how funny and light it is.

What else? I have definitely had a little cramping, not sure if you'd call it contractions or what not... but they are definitely sporadic, so i am not worried. I went for the first non-stress test Tuesday and she aced it. She was sleeping at first and they gave me some cold water to drink and it perked her right up. I also found out they don't "stimulate" or "shock" her in any way. All they do...is use monitors to record her movement and heartbeat. The nurse gave me a piece of her test strip, I'll post it here. They gave me this button to push when i was "feeling her" and this is reflected on the strip with those "UP" arrows. It definitely coincided with her movement, as you can see.

Thanksgiving is next week. I'm excited to spend the time with the in-laws, even if it's my least favorite holiday to celebrate... yay, massacre of the Natives. I wish people would be more aware and talk about that more. Why can't we just change the holiday to be Thankful for family and get rid of our "pride" for "founding America" because we didn't... we took it. But, I digress. You also didn't come here to read about that!

I guess that's about all I have... baby girl is getting ready to make her debut... I hope we are ready.

3 Months & COVID-19

The world is chaotic right now... just in time for little Miss Zoey Bear to turn 3 months! It's flying by. Right now she is finding her hands, munching on them, starting to hold onto things and loves to play with her soft books (mostly chew on them). Interacting with her is SO much fun and there is nothing better than to see her smile at you. Chris always melts when she smiles at him, he knows he is in for it! Right now we are in the middle of a new pandemic called COVID-19 (corona virus) and the country is being told to stay away from groups of 10 or more (some parts of the country - like New York - are told to stay indoors except for essentials). It's a strange world out there right now. Luckily, nothing much has changed over here since I am working from home and we barely were going out much anyways (with baby and all). I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food and the aisles were bare... No meats, paper goods, rice, canned goods and very little pasta among othe...

First Month!

So much has happened. I'm a slacker but I have good reason! Taking care of a newborn is no joke! Zoey is honestly a very good baby... sleeps and doesn't cry much... until 4 weeks hit and she found her voice! :) We are now in week 4 going on 5 and she's much fussier but still CUTE as ever. She got back to birth weight pretty darn quick. She's had a stuffy nose for quite awhile now. She's had her first professional photos taken by JC Penney portrait studio. She is now lifting her head up during tummy time and can follow objects and sounds by turning her head. She loves to make cute grunting noises all the time, especially when burping her. She has a cute little fro that stands up even more after having a bath. Here is the link to all the photos and videos I've taken of her -  https://photos.app.goo.gl/73SxvMb8QJcENV1Q7 this link will also be updated with future photos and videos. I've attached a few of my favorites from this past month below: ...

5 weeks, 5 days

So... this is feeling real now. It's still VERY early and I haven't even had my first ultrasound yet... but I feel very pregnant. My chest is killing me, I can't wear a bra around the house because it's too much. I have some nausea (no vomiting, thankfully) and some aversion to smells - today my husband made this "Chicken Pot Pie" soup and it smelled SOOOO bad, like cat food.  I have to hand it to Chris though, he's being so good about making sure I am comfortable and doing things around the house. I can't imagine doing this without him.  He finally let me tell his mother, I've been dying to for awhile now... but he's so hesitant because of what happened last time. I definitely understand that. I'm reluctant myself. I've only told Ari, Marsha and now my Mother-in-Law. It's hard because the more people you tell, if something goes wrong... it was hard last time to have to let people know. It's better to wait and be 100% tha...
