braxton hicks?

omgoodness... i've been so thankful for having a smooth pregnancy.. until YESTERDAY!! i've been having some back aches. at first i was confused since i've never had them, and on top of that my stomach started to tighten up. since it is my first pregnancy, i was kinda freaking out thinking to myself.. "can i be in labor?" but i did some research and they said that i will KNOW if i am or not. lol~~ but how do you really know????

anyways, since i'm still pregnant, i guess it was just one of those.. braxton hicks contractions? i think they were similar to what labor will be like but of course.. being in labor will be 100x worse.. or so they say.

wah.

so this "braxon hicks" thing has been on and off since and right now my back is hurting. :( i guess my body is getting prepared for James!! and i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!


4 more weeks to go! yay!!!!!

happy thanksgiving!

happy thanksgiving everyone!! wow.. i know i mentioned this almost in every post, but.. time sure does fly!!! it's almost the end of november.. aka almost the end of 2011! T_T

hmm.. i have so many things to be thankful for this year.. i honestly don't know where to start from. there were so many things that happened unexpectedly that changed my life around.

we started the new year by relocating to Silver Spring, MD, trying to start a new life there. landed an awesome job at Downtown Silver Spring, found out i was preggers in May, somehow relocated back to New York, hubby got a new title, we got married, then had some turning points in hubby's life, which somehow.. was for the better? and of course had a little bickering in between the family which eventually made us stronger.

God really works in mysterious ways... i cannot thank him enough, and it reminds me everyday that we are here for a reason, and that we should always be humble and grateful for all the things we have.


i really don't think i would've been able to do it all without my support system though..
my family who's ALWAYS been there for me, no matter how stupid i was in the past.. and even tho i was sucha f*** up they were always by my side and never doubted me.. who will always love me from head to toe, inside out.
my husband who's always trying to motivate me to become the bigger / better person in life.. i've learned so much from him. he is not only my husband, but he is my bestest friend, my human teddy bear, my mentor, role model.. and the love of my life.
my girls/boys who are there for me through thick and thin. it's really an awesome feeling when you know you can turn to them whether you are angry / happy / excited / upset.. and they will never turn you down and are willing to be there for you.

anyways, i am very excited for this years thanksgiving dinner! not only do i get to see my relatives.. but i get to play mafia! the game that i love... but yet suck so much in. why can't i keep a straight face?? bleh. well.. i've been practicing to put on my poker face, so we'll see how i do tomorrow! haha

well, happy thanksgiving to everyone once again, and hope you guys have a blast spending quality time with your loved ones! <33

ps- this is James @ 34 1/2 weeks (i'm @ 35 weeks now). he has his hand on his forehead and he is either blowing me a kiss? or pouting his lips. can you say... diva???

oopsies

i haven't been blogging! i've been all over the place lately and i guess i got too lazy to update!

anyways-

i'm finally at 34 1/2 weeks, and i'm getting so anxious! the baby moves around so much, and it's finally beginning to hurt. not a good feeling at all...

thanksgiving is finally around the corner, and so is my husband's birthday. then comes my dad's birthday, and then it's time to wait for baby James to come.. of course there's also Christmas, and then comes the new year... gees!!!!!

time FLIES!!!!!!!!!! >_<

i am

extremely stressed out.

in denial?

i honestly thought that i could get away with just wearing clothes that are size medium / large even though i was preggers. i guess i was in denial because my PJS BARELY FITS ME NOW. God.


cry me a RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


guess i gotta go maternity clothes shopping pronto. oh, how fun. yay.

November...

it's already... November. already November......................... some people say that at the third trimester, time goes by so slowly compared to the other two, but for me... it's just flying by as well.

i woke up from a dream last night... i was dreaming that i was in L&D, and the doctor kept telling me to push. i told her i was scared... and i was literally shitting in my pants. i didn't want to push.. i was scared. she reassured me that everything was going to be okay, and to trust her. dennis was right by my side, but i was still so scared.

i guess as my little one's due date is approaching it's inevitable for me to feel this way. but there's no turning back now, and instead of feeling scared, i have to be prepared, stay strong and stop worrying! mm... two more months. it seems so far away but yet it doesn't..
