Gym

No cooking, more energy = gym!!!
Yesterday, I went to the gym for the first time since I got my BFP! It's definitely been a while. But in the beginning I was too tired to even think about gym plus the m/s would make the appearance so randomly that I didn't want to get sick on the treadmill. Then I wanted to sign up for the prenatal yoga. I researched online for a good location and class but never made it there because Mr. V and I have always something planned on the weekend. So, gym it is! If only I can push myself to go at least couple of times per week, I'd feel so much better stepping on that scale at doctor's office.

Decisions...

We are still searching for our little girl's furniture and other big items.
Here is what we like so far.

The white crib set is Da Vinci, Emily Collection and the espresso set is Munire (Baby Cache) Tampa Collection.












The strollers are both by Peg Perego. One is Pliko P3 and the other one is called Switch. The Switch stroller (red) is great, since the handles are adjustable and the baby can face us.




I am almost done choosing the bedding. I will post the pic in the next post.

Compliment!

As I was getting yet another cup of water at work yesterday, the girl from a different department started talking to me:
J: I think you are one of the cutest pregnant ladies that I've ever seen.
Mrs. V: Really??? Thanks! I sure don't feel that way.
J: Seriously, I think you are. Everytime I look at you, I think you are so
cute!
Mrs.V: Thanks! I think you might be my new favorite person in the office. :)

I wish I would hear this kind of stuff more often. It definitely helps to forget about those 15-17lbs that I've gained and still picture myself as a 120lbs kind of a gal. I shouldn't be complaining though, it is all for the best!

Hello There!!!

I am back from no blogging land. I think I have a lot to catch up on.
Let's go way back and start with June. On June 18, we found out that we are having a little baby GIRL! She showed us her goods in the first few seconds of the u/s. Our little princess wasn't shy at all. I was thinking to myself that we'll have to work on some manners :) Showing all her goods to strangers and parents so fast! Or another idea that Mr. V and I had is that she was tired of hearing Mr. V call her boy names for couple of weeks before the u/s, so she decided to put a stop to it as soon as she could.

After turning from one side to another and jumping for couple of minutes, our u/s tech and doctor still couldn't get the shots of the heart. The doc wanted us to come back in couple of weeks for another follow-up. Of course, I got freaked out, especially because it was the heart pics. I kept asking what else can we do to get the shots that you need, but they told us that they spent more then enough time with us and wanted us to come back.

The next 12 days, I was nervous, anxious, and just wanted it to be June 30, our follow-up u/s. The new lady was very nice and before she went to get the doctor she asked me who was my doctor last time. After she heard the name, she told me that is exactly who she thought. Apparently, that doctor doesn't like spending time with their patients and most of the time can't take pics of the heart. Really? If only I knew that before!!!The new doc was much nicer and was able to calm me down.
As I was leaving the office, the u/s technician wispered in my ear that the shots that they took the first time were fine. Seriously people, why do you do it to your patients??? I guess the good thing was that I was able to see our little princess again. Mr. V couldn't come with me to the second u/s, so we had our little girl's moment.

Mr. V has been taking my weeekly pictures, so I'll have to post those later, since I haven't posted any of them yet.
