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!!!!

Family, Why it's a chore sometimes.

I am the oldest of 4 siblings ( I have another younger sister whom I barely ever see.). No one makes me feel more loved, happy and fulfilled than my family. But no one makes me more sad, angry or disappointed. I am sure every family has their differences. Here, I will explain mine.

I am 20, pregnant, single, have no college or university education (yet), unemployed and I was quite the trouble maker in my days.

My sister is 17, about to finish high school and has a long term boyfriend (whom, for the most part, I just cannot stand). She is an over achiever and aside for a constant nasty attitude and putting herself above others (constantly) she is quite the golden child.

My brother, 16, is a skateboarder/ SK8er (whatever), thinks he does nothing wrong (Naturally... I mean he IS 16) and he, also, aside for a "I am better than you" attitude, is quite an angel.

My youngest brother, 15, is the baby of this family. For the most part he is the most enjoyable to be with aside for the fact that, sometimes, will do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING just to get on your last nerve.

My mother is quite young herself (40), she is in University working on her Master's degree full time, has 2 part- time jobs and does everything she can to keep this family happy. My sister gets her over- achieve-ness from her. I got her more chill out side (Thank God for that! And I am not even religious)!

Then we got my step father. A teenager at heart. And he loooooves to argue,converse etc... He will start a conversation and try (and mostly succeed) at proving and/or making a point. A conversation can last hours with him. And most of the time, you get angry in the end...

So put all these people under one roof and try to have a peaceful evening. Impossible. Luckily, my sister is at her boyfriend most of the time and we don't have to deal with her attitude so much. Plus I enjoy her company much more when I miss her. Sometimes I really do like being with her. But then she comes home and demands all the attention and starts complaining about how hectic her life is (and stuff).

Then you get my brother. He is home more often than my sister bu barely. He is always skateboarding somewhere. When he comes home he eats enough to feed half our family and hogs the TV playing his Skate 2 on PS3. He doesn't seems to care that everyone gets a fair share of the food. As long as he is satisfied and that no one complains about it (and that we let him play his darned video game without complaining)then he's pretty much happy. Until time comes for me to remind everyone (when mom isn't here) that there is our daily chore to do. The evening goes to crap right then and there.

Finally you get baby- brother. Half the time it's great to have him around. He'll come home give me a hug and go on the computer, play a video game (not o much anymore) or do his homework. On bad days he'll make too much unnecessary noises just to get on someone's nerves... Honestly I don't understand it at all.

If I get in a quarrel with any of my siblings, they will make sure to remind me of my past and how much of a "loser" I am for being in my situation. It's difficult to think that the people who love you the most are also the people who can hurt you the most.

Family is full of dreadful moments that make a day, week, month drag on. But more often than not I am lucky to have the good ones.

I am immensely grateful for my mother with whom I have an amazing relationship. She makes it worthwhile. Most of the time

21 weeks Along and I finally got a good book!

If there is one thing anyone should know about me it's that I adore, and I really mean that, reading. It's my favorite pastime. I can't go over a week without reading something. But lately, since I am a HUGE Twilight fan it's been more difficult to find something I could REALLY sink into.

I have a very specific taste for books. I will go to Chapters (the one on Rideau Street is the best) and go straight upstairs to the teen fiction section. Now, I know I am 20 years old and all but teen fiction just really works for me. When I read It's mostly to escape reality. And I can REALLY do that with teen fiction. So I (well my mom got it for me actually) got the first book of the House of Night by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, Marked, on Thursday.

I had been wanting to get that book for a while but I just never had the opportunity.And since the book was less than 10$ (Canadian) my dear mother had no problem getting it for me! What a sweetie! I felt really spoiled. I didn't get to start reading the book until Saturday. And I really was surprised to find that in barely 3 hours I had read over half the book. So I decided to put it down and go socialize with my BFF Sean and totally destroy is @$$ at Mario Kart Wii.

But the book was always, constantly in the back of my mind. Which is a good thing. When a book is really good, I become attached to it and if it isn't finished, I can only think of doing just that. Reading. It's weird, I can't understand it myself. The book becomes a person (kinda) in itself. Ok, I know I sound psycho...Sorry.

On a different note, my pregnancy is going great! Baby Knox (his name until I feel it's not right) is starting to become much stronger and more active. And I abolutely LOVE it. It's amazing knowing that those sensations in your abdomen are made by a person. A person you just can't help but adore. I can't wait to meet him! I am 21 weeks and 3 days today. Tomorrow I have an OB/GYN appointment and I can't wait to hear his heartbeat again!!! Now i have to remember and jot down all the questions I have for my Doctor.

This is me at 20 weeks:


This is one of the outfits I have for baby Knox


That's all for now...

13 Weeks and 3 Days Pregnant!

So today i am 13 weeks and 3 days along in my pregnancy. Everything is going great! Pretty much all my symptoms have gone away. Unfortunately I feel like a lazy whale. I am starting to get bigger and more anxious and excited everyday! I told my grandma today that she was gonna be a great grandma! She was super happy.
My own mother is gone to Cuba! She has been gone since the 10th and i miss her a lot. Luckily she is coming back in less than 2 days. It's also her birthday today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
Aside from that I had my first ultrasound last Tuesday and it was amazing! The Baby had a strong heartbeat of 150 BPM and was swimming around like a pro!
I have a OBGYN appointment on Tuesday (17th) and I am hoping to hear the heartbeat again!

I was surfing the net and found this interesting link, It's 51 old wives tales about pregnancy...

It's interesting! I think I am having a boy! YAY!!!
