A Baby is Cummings!: At 19 Weeks

Omg. The heat. I can barely handle! The old Hawaii homes don't have any protection against the sun, so my house pretty much reaches "sauna" status at the peak hours of the day--especially with no winds and high humidity! We just got a new air conditioner which I have to make Mike set up asap. Being hot and pregnant ain't the business!

But hey! I'm almost halfway done--20 weeks next week! It just went so fast! I feel like I spent a lot of it maybe in denial honestly, lol! Having to process that I just got married & within a few weeks, I was already learning that I was going to be a Mom too! At my first ultrasound, when the tech squeezed the warm gel on my belly..I almost thought maybe there really wasn't a baby in there, haha! But she's there!! & I'm just happy that she's healthy! It will be big adjustments for Mike and I, but I also know she will bring us probably one of the greatest joys in life...so bring it on! ;)

I finally had to buy some maternity clothes..mostly those ugly pants/shorts connected to a stretchy band, lol. My stomach is getting bigger every week and I feel little "popcorn" taps in my belly from time to time. Lately, I've had Filipino food cravings. We made Chicken Tinola the other night..and tonight we had Adobo...mmm! But besides that, I can't get enough of fresh fruits...& sandwiches (which I try not to eat a lot of cuz the deli meats). I feel mostly normal now which is great...finally have energy to start exercising again. My doctor told me to watch my weight gain..so I got kind of paranoid. I try to walk on my days off and do this prenatal barre workout which actually burns, lol! & that's pretty much my life in a nutshell! We're planning to go back to Sd in Mid-September...I think maybe we would have a baby shower then...just don't know how that would work exactly with gifts and everything. Maybe we'll just have to move there then, HAH!

Ok, well time to sleep for another day at work tomorrow :/ just thought I'd update you guys! Until next time! 

This was @17 weeks...conscious about my "fat not pregnant" looking body, haha

Mike is giving up his beloved Tacoma..& got himself a daddy car-- a used 2007 4Runner...I like it! He also passed his P.E. Exam, proud of him!

This was yesterday at 19 weeks. All HOT in my house!!

Stay cool everybody!!!
