14 wEeKs

We have done NOTHING all week haha, our nights are tv/movies, dinner and bed. We haven't gone out at all, I think it's hibernating time for Barbados.....everything goes quiet after Kadooment. Not growing a baby though...I swear I saw my stomach move this week!! Not like a quick thing, almost like it would slowly move to one side and get bigger in one area and smaller in another (like how you'd see in a movie when something would move under the flat sand and come towards you) I just stared at it and thought, no way that's already a baby moving, has to be gas lol. Still not sure what it was but it was still pretty cool to watch, I can only imagine when it moves all the time....I think i'll sit all day staring at my belly and not get anything else done because it's way cooler than doing laundry all day.

Dinner foods are starting to appeal to me more and more, haven't had to eat a bowl of cereal for dinner in a while. Also I haven't eaten a tums in a week! I just read the the 2nd trimester has started....I thought it was 12 weeks but I guess it's 14. I have blood work to do this coming week and i'm not excited about it. Since I tend to pass out for no reason often anyways (pre-prego thing), giving blood is another thing I pass out over. Thank goodness Darin is taking the morning off to sit and wait with me and hold my hand, my mom usually does it but she isn't going to fly down to hold my hand for 5 mins. I will never grow up when it comes to giving blood....I will always be a chicken and need someone with me.

We went to our first baby store this weekend!! I've been to a few a long time ago for a baby shower or something but i've always been in and out so THIS was the first time going in and actually looking at stuff for myself and not a list of someone's registry. We didn't buy anything, just wanted to look at some things and price stuff out so we'd know if it was worth buying here or just shipping over from the states. I took my 14 week picture in the baby store, thought it made sense :) I like to do my pics depending on where I am and what i'm doing....never been a fan of against the same wall in the same clothes every week (no offense to those who do that) for the picture. The giraffe I tried to straddle but quickly was reminded I had a long dress on so I had to just stand behind it...Darin HATES taking pictures of people doing anything but normal in public so this shot took a lot for him to quickly snap, he was quite uncomfortable, lol thanks though babe!! (you should see when he likes his food so much at restaurants that he wants a picture of it, he tries so hard to do it so nobody sees him taking it lol, he's so weird)

13 WeEKs & KaDOomeNt

Getting to my 13 week blog 4 days late but I have a good excuse. This past weekend was a holiday weekend with LOTS going on, needless to say we were somewhere and everywhere all weekend long. Wish I had a better photo than holding the pole on the boat all awkward lol, and a face that's smiling better and not a face that's trying to keep my balance so I didn't go overboard, but it is what it is :) We went on a booze cruise Sunday (yes, I went) and it was a blast!! Had a great time with me and my water, dancing, jumping and singing to super loud music with my friends all while out at sea. There was about 150 people on the boat so I had some great entertainment to watch when I needed to sit for a break. Of course I took our gopro so i'll make a fun video of all that :) Monday was Kadooment Day, remember my costume I had to sell? This was the day I was supposed to wear it, but instead went out on a boat most of the day and waited for everyone in costumes to come jumping down the street to music dancing and getting all crazy! Tanya and I chose to swim to shore from the boat which was a little further than either of us thought but I hadn't been to the gym in a few days so to me that was a good exercise :) and of course I brought the gopro out again so i'll add all that to my video too! Next year....I plan on playing in all of the Kadooment festivities!

This week i've become friends with Tums, have them on me at all times. I've never ate a tums before haha, and I kept having these awkward "I didn't drink enough beer so I have the burps" moments and they made me feel a little sick. I didn't know that was something tums could fix until I was working a wedding and a friend told me to eat a tums....1 tablet and TADA!! It was like magic!! I've also recently not wanted anything to do with dinner. "Pre-baby" I used to cook...sometimes, but I hate cooking now and I don't want dinner foods, they don't gross me out really, it's just I don't want it....i've forced chicken down my throat that Darin made one night but it took me so long to eat it that Darin actually had finished dinner and had all the dishes done and was sitting on the couch before I was done half of my food.....ended up tossing the other half......so now, I usually resort to a bowl of cereal, guess it's not the worst thing in the world to eat. The belly I think has been the same since last week, not to much growing to notice, at least not to me anyway. I hadn't worn a certain pair of shorts for a while and happen to wear them the other night and couldn't button them.....dun dun dun....so I did the elastic trick around the button on my pants, pulled my shirt over it and out I went, guess I can't wear those shorts anymore :( I still feel pretty good overall so i'm super happy this has continued to be a smooth, un eventful 13 weeks....high five for 27 more!!!
