Popcorn Ramblingz from a Pregnant Woman's Mind

I just haven't been in the blog world lately. I went to check my google reader and there were so many blogs that I have missed. I'm not quite sure why. I used to check everyday, but I'm afraid it's been replaced with other things. Much like my poetry did. I used to write like crazy when I went through this deep dark time of my life but when I reconnected with God and life got a whole lot brighter I stopped.

These days I find myself sleeping alot or wishing I was. And doing what I can to ward of the nausea that lurks throughout the day. People have asked if I've picked out bed room sets and so on and so forth. I've looked but not in depth. I spent more time on baby websites and reading books before I got pregnant. I find the only thing I tend to want to read about is what's going on with the baby each week. A friend has gotten me a pregnancy journal I'm looking forward too. I have a small journal and I started writing things in it when we first found out but that lasted 2 days. I've never been able to keep up with journals. Maybe this time!

There's a few cds that this little one should know by heart and sing as soon as he/she comes out of the womb. The first is Plumb's "Blink" cd and the second is Natalie Grant's "Relentless" cd. I also listen to classical music as well, just something I've always enjoyed.

If dad has his way "Cinnabun" will be decked out in Yankee and Cowboy gear, which I don't mind so much! :) I have to admit there is some cute stuff out there. We're refraining as much as possible from buying alot of clothes just yet. We know what crib we want and possibly what bedding. Maybe one weekend, we'll sit down and decide where the crib will go and if we want to paint. Of course, I'd like to paint the entire inside of the house. I think we really need to do a big Spring cleaning and get rid of some stuff, maybe a yard sale is in our future.

I have a bag full of material that was my Grandpa's, Grandma's and I think even some that was my mom's that I'd love to quilt into a few blankets. Of course, I would have to know something about quilting before doing that wouldn't I??

So I'm jumping from subject to subject and if you're still reading this I should send you some sort of prize. A virtual *hug* will have to do! :)

On to the subject of food. A pregnant woman's favorite subject right. I didn't realize nor do the people in my house *bless them all* that cravings are very short lived. There was a point in time when I craved sugary cereal, there is still a half eaten box of Cocoa Pebbles on the top of the fridge. I mentioned wanting some reese's pieces as I had some leftover from Easter. I came home and bless them all they had gotten me 2 pounds of them. Sadly each bag went to someone's house for get togethers and I did not eat a one. Veggies were a very short lived phase. I still do not do chocolate very well. I find I don't even want it. I'm burnt on on Ginger Ale.
My daily eating routine as of late is a big glass of milk at 5:30a.m., a bowl of cereal or some toast around 9:30a.m., a pb&j on wheat with baked dorito's at noonish, some saltines and yogurt to snack in the afternoons, then whatever is for dinner at night. Twice the guys have gone out and picked up something I have wanted in the evening. Like a banana blizzard with extra bananas or a king cone ice cream thing. When I'm hungry tho, I'm hungry and have to eat then or the nausea sets in.

We've gotten two pictures of the little one so far. One very early pick at 6 weeks and 4 days and then another just yesterday at 9 weeks 5 days. I am amazed at the difference in size. This last picture was really neat as the little one was moving around and you could see all that has developed. I love each week finding out what new has gone on with "Cinnabun" especially the size. We are now at the size of a grape or 1 inch although that will change in tomorrow's email and I will get a new size and development update. At first Dwayne said he felt Cinnabun is a boy but more recently he has said a girl. Either way he is going to be a fantastic dad!!

Oh and Dwayne asked what I want for Mother's Day. *May God bless all of you mother's greatly this mother's day!!* I said, I want a really good hair cut by Becky's hair stylist, not just a gift card but an appointment booked too. My husband is so good!!! He made me an appointment for Saturday the 16th at 8a.m. He's driving I'm sleeping and that is that. :)

Oh and one really cute thing. Our littlest dog, Lilybet used to curl up at my feet in the recliner, but since I've gotten pregnant she curls right up on my stomach. She's going to be a protective one I think. At least until the baby starts moving around. hehe!
