Trip to the ER

So today I noticed that Knox hadn't moved at all by 11:30 this morning. I was soooo scared! So I called the hospital and they told me to come in. I was so worried. My friend came to pick me up and as soon as we pull into the parking lot at the hospital, he kicks! What a little trickster he is! I was so relieved! We went in anyways and they put me on a monitor for half an hour. The nurse said I had a perfect baby! I think I do also.
Unfortunately the doctor didn't check me! I was hoping that being 37 weeks AKA full term, they would. But they only do it if I am contracting, leaking fluid or bleeding. OMG was I ever annoyed! Am I not aloud to know what is going with my body?

Being 31 weeks! (and more)

OK, so I am 31 weeks and 3 days! 8 weeks and 4 days to go has me thinking both "OMFG" and "YES!! FINALLY!". I can't believe how fast it's going! And weirdly, how slow also! My belly's growth has been slowing but I have been having more and more Braxton Hicks contractions lately. It's now a daily occurrence for me next to heartburn, swollen feet and deathly heat! OMG THE HEAT! It's sooo hot and humid and uncomfortable. Can't wait for tomorrow! THE BEACH!
Still no insane stretchmark. That makes me feel great since it's summer and I am going to the beach with my best friend tomorrow! I will take pics and share! Also on the agenda for tomorrow is hospital registration, which I've been putting off for much too long! YIKES!
I have an O.B. appointment on the 30th and I can't wait! Finally we are going to schedule an appointment for my next and last ultrasound! I can't wait to see how much he's grown!!!
He might come early too! There is actually a funny and weird story behind that. Some friends of mine are betting on when I will give birth. And one of them has a creepy giftof predicting right. She's predicted the sex and delivery date for 3 other women! She was dead-on on me having a boy and she is predicting I will have him on August 6th! He will be full term by then so I can only hope she is right!!!
One wisdom tooth is finally coming out! EEK! I have no dental insurance and I am hoping it wont get infected or something... A funny fact about me: I still have a baby tooth! TRUE STORY!
In other news, my baby shower (which I am now planning) , is on the 12th. I'm scared no one will show up. Because I REALLY need help with getting stuff. I'm on social assistance, single and I pay rent/bills/debts.
So I am crossing my fingers hoping everything

Not much longer!

I am so excited!
31 weeks TODAY! Exactly 9 weeks left! I am going to have my baby in my arms! I am going to be able to hold him, stare in his eyes, tickle him, bathe him, change him, show him off!
I just can't wait! I wish there was a fast forward button I could press and tada! Baby Knox is here!
Such wishful thinking! My next appointment with my O.B. is on the 30th. We'll have my next (and last ultrasound scheduled then! I love him so much!

Thanks for reading this short blog,
Mel & Knox

Update!

I am feeling so much better now! Last Tuesday, my best friend (ever), who is also my hairstylist, colored and slightly cut my hair. I now have a 200$ haircut for only 20$! I am so happy! I felt like a princess yesterday! I may not have a baby daddy but I have the best BFF ever!
Aside from having new hair, Baby Knox has been gaining strength! He kicks me so hard sometimes that I squeal! And that's a little embarrassing on the bus. Also I have 76 days to go as of today! I am so excited to meet my little man. And it's really starting to go by fast now! I am so happy about that!! Although I still have next to nothing for him yet... I am waiting until after my baby shower to really buy stuff. I am very low on money so that sucks!! He has started a routine of moving most when I am either waking up or falling asleep, or sitting down relaxing. He also got into the habit of kicking my bladder. Which feels amazingly weird! HAHA! But he mostly only kicks for his mommy! Whenever someone touches my belly, he cowers away and becomes VERY calm. What a Mommy's Boy!
I am so done with pregnancy! Lately everything, not just my feet, has been swelling up. My hands, ankles, feet and even my face. I really do feel like a beach ball! :(
Also my sexy dreams have been on a full out blast lately. I kinda like it because I am single so there.... LOL sorry if TMI for some.
Speaking of dreams, I have been having a few where I am no longer pregnant but I have my baby with me. However he isn't really my baby. I don't understand why but I just KNOW he isn't mine.
I have also kind of started writing my book(s). One is a partly autobiographical piece about my pregnancy and the other is a Young Adult Novel. It's a lot of work and a lot of "really believing in yourself".
I am also into this series called Wicked by Nancy Holder and
Debbie ViguiƩ. It's a great series but definitely for young adults 17 and older. The next book I have in line is Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith

3rd Trimester

Well I am finally in my third trimester! Only 3 months left to go! I can feel my little man running out of room in there. I mean I am running out of room on my own body! LOL I wonder what it's like in there!! HAHA

I did the glucose test yesterday and it made me all dizzy and sleepy. It didn't taste horrible but not good at all!
I had a little accident yesterday... It may be a little TMI for some so maybe stop reading now... LOL

Well I was at the mall and all of a sudden i felt like i had to fart. However I had diarhea and well some came out and left a stain on my pants!!! I WAS MORTIFIED! Plus I had forgotten my debit card at home so I had no money on me! Fortunately, my best friend works in the mall and gave me money to go buy a pair of pants and underwear! I also got two cute little dresses! I will post pics of them later!
That was most definitely my most embarrassing moment in this pregnancy.

So that's that and now I am definitely feeling exhaustion creeping back up. We don't have A/C at home and it was so humid last night. I couldn't all asleep at all. Well I ended sleeping until 12 today! It was amazing!

So today I have decided to rest and do nothing!

YAY!!!!

Some random berry thoughts!

Blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, cranberry!

Berry! Anymore berries?

(Halle Berry is NOT a berry!)

I have a blackberry. It's a cell phone. You can't eat it. :-(

Slightly losing my mind in this under- stimulating classroom.

Again, in this classroom which seems nothing like a classroom since the teacher isn't teaching and I, the student, am not learning.
But I have to be here! For 2 more hours! Ugh! 2 hours of unnecessary reading. Unfortunately, I won't be able to challenge the course. I was missing 5% on the last lesson. So I am going to be stick in this boring hell of a class. Please... Be with me!

Lol....
