Weekend Updates

Our long weekend was gone before we even knew it. I didn't get to cleaning and laundry at all. These chores will have to wait till next weekend.

DH and I went to my friend's birthday party on Sunday. My friend turned 30 years old and she decided to have a party at where else, but of course at the Russian restaurant. They had a lot of guests. Some of those people I haven't seen for almost a year. Two of my friends saw me sipping water all evening long and decided to ask. So, couple of hours into the party a few people already knew about our baby and the news started spreading around. It was weird to see some of the first reactions. I got upset at one point when one of the girls was talking to me and started telling me what happened to her during her pregnancy and how she doesn't even want kids now after spending a semester in pediatric care. DH tried to calm me down a bit after that talk saying that the girl always speaks what is on her mind without thinking/filtering what she says. He is probably right, but still.....
I danced to a few songs but mostly I spent the evening socializing with the old crew.

On Monday, we went to DH's father's bday party. Since they live about 45 minutes away, we pretty much spend the whole day at their house. That is probably the reason I didn't get anything done, since I procrastinated in the beginning of the weekend.

I think I'll have to go shopping soon. It is getting harder and harder to put on my regular clothes even with the Bella Band. Mr. V should understand, right? :)

I am back! (updated with pics)



Well, I have been back for couple of days already. Mr. V and I had a great time in Hawaii. The week went by sooooo fast and before we knew it was time to go back home. Our little one was behaving for 5 days. I didn't feel sick at all. It was such a great feeling. I was hungry all the time, but that is so much better then puking. In the last two days, my m/s returned. I think the baby doesn't like it when I get up early. Honestly, he/she takes it from me. I am not a morning person at all.

I got sick on the last day of our vacation and had to stay home on Monday. Today, I came back to work and told my boss the big news. He was very supportive and understanding. It was kind of weird to a guy, especially my boss, about it. It is funny that more and more people know about our little miracle and it still didn't sink in my head yet. My other boss came up to my cubicle at the end of the day, when everyone left and said congratulations with a big smile. WOW...our news are going to spread out so fast!

I hope and pray that you are OK there little one! I can't wait to hear/see you next time.

Vacation Time!

Well, almost. We are leaving tomorrow for Hawaii. I can't wait to do nothing on the island. Of course, we only going to do nothing for couple of days, because I already booked us two tours on the island.

I had to finish everything at work today that will have to be done next week and I feel exhausted. I am ready to be on the plain. Hopefully, I am not going to have any incidents on the plain. I am afraid I am going to feel sick and all of the restrooms will be occupied. Ok, better not think about it.

I am excited to spend some time with Mr. V and this is also baby's first trip. I hope he/she will like Hawaii and will let me enjoy the trip also. Ok, I better go home and finish packing!

Family Knows

So, we finally decided to tell our bothers and their wives about our news.
First we told Mr.V's side on Saturday. There was a pause for a few seconds after we told them and then they started asking all sort of questions. Then on Sunday, we told my brother and his wife. I actually got teary when they were congratulating us. My SIL, who is been through a lot lately, gave me a warm hug and whispered in my ear that everything will be fine. She offered to go on the walks with me and was also asking questions about everything.

To be honest, I kind of expected a different reaction from Mr. V's side. It felt like his SIL was thinking about our news over and over in her head. Their son was born in November and if our due date doesn't change then their bdays will be very close to each other. She is that kind of person who wants her family to have all of the attention. Maybe she thinks that the younger baby will still all of it? Who knows?

On a different note, I've been having some sudden pains on my lower abdomen. It is not too painful but uncomfortable. After three days I decided to call the doctor. The nurse wanted me to come in since it was the best way to check if everything is fine. I took a late lunch today and stopped by at their office. She did the pelvic exam and after a minute of found the heartbeat. I love that sound. I wish I could hear it more often, but Mr.V didn't want me to buy a doppler. Anyways, the nurse said everything was fine and it could be just the stretching pain. But just in case I had to pee in a cup to see if I don't have any bladder infections, which hopefully, I don't. After the nurse left, I decided to weight myself, since we don't have the scales at home. And I haven't gained any weight since the last appointment. Yeay!!! But it still feels like I gained a lot.

Clothes and Closet

Well, it is one wek left until our Hawaii vacation. I am really excited. It is been almost a year since our last vacation (Aruba honeymoon). Mr. V and I definitely need a vacation right about now.

My goal for this weekend is to organize/clean my closet and see what I can still fit and take with me. I don't have a lot of summer clothes since we only get couple of hot days per year. That means I get to do some shopping!!! I started yesterday by going to Nordstrom Rack. I got couple of new sleeveless blouses, a dress, one turtleneck (since it was on sale), and a little outfit for our nephew who is turning 18 months in a week. I am proud to say that I got everything on sale and only spent $70 on everything. And the best part is I can wear these clothes ever after pregnancy. I think I'll make another stop on the weekend to Old Navy and/or Target for some capris and shorts and I'll be all set for our summer vacation. I have to say Mr. V is being very supportive of my shopping. Before I would always hear that I have more clothes than my closet can fit. But now he wants to go shopping with me. Hmmm...What else can I get? :)
