I have a good 40-50 people that I want/need to invite. Of those, I assume like 30 will rsvp they are coming and at least 25 will actually show up. Stevie Jay wants to throw me a shower and while his heart is in a good place, as his friend I cant let him actually do it. He doesnt have the money to fix his car... let alone throw me a shower haha. But he and I will go get massages or something "girlie" together. That way he gets to spend the time with me he wants to and have that special "bonding" time lol. He is gay, just incase anyone was getting weirded out by me and a guy hanging out. We love him regardless though. Even though he obnoxiously rubs my stomach and I hate people rubbing my stomach lol.
My mom wants to throw the shower at a tea parlor. I think that might be difficult because of the # of people we are expecting. Plus, most tea party places are like $20 bucks a person for tea and lunch. If I was doing a small family thing then the tea idea might work... but I dont think I can handle knowing someone paid that much money for me to eat cake, open gifts, and play stupid games lol. Im hoping they chose like a restaurant with a "conference" room, or a rec center or something easy like that. I have also FORBID them from allowing the game "guess her width with a string/toliet paper/yarn/etc" lol. Not a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks do I want people guess how big around I am... ever. Pregnant or not lol.
Speaking how how big around I am lol...
A lot of my friends who I dont get to see often, or family from out of town... well they have been harrasing me for "Belly Spam" haha. I feel silly taking pictures of my stomach. haha. Its like the part of my body I have spent 23 years trying to hide in pictures, and now people want me to let it all hang out for pics?? Yikes. Anyways, I caved. These pictures are of my baby belly at 24 weeks and 2 days. I probably wont take more until closer to 30 weeks so hopefully all you Belly stalkers out there get your fix out of this.
The view from above:
My belly sticks out past my boobs, clearly. Thats a relief. Make me feel more pregnant and less beer belly haha. Has anyone seen my toes??
This is just a twisted side shot. Ignore my face. I was getting ready for work. Adella has been spine up at every ultrasound which the Doctor says is why my stomach arches so much. She is also a low low girl. He said thats why my biggest point is below my belly button instead of AT my belly button.
Haha, this is like a mug shot for Adella. "To the Left" "To the right" "Straight forward please" lol. I dont think I am "that" big. I hope to finish this pregnancy with people saying "wow you dont looke 9 months pregnant" lol. The less bigger I get, the easier it will be to get back to smaller when its over lol.
I havent gained any weight yet. I lost 21 pounds total, gained back 3lbs, then gain back 2 lbs, then lost 2 lbs which puts me at a total of minus 18lbs this pregnancy. I am in NO WAY trying to lose weight. I just had morning sickness THAT bad lol. I also have tried to change my eating habits a lot. I eat oatmeal (stove cooked from plain quaker oats with raisins and bananas for sweetness, and milk for calcium) for breakfast almost every day. I snack on fruits and veggies. I have a medium sized lunch like chicken salads or turkey sandwhiches. And then for dinner I have been crock potting and casaroling random meals. I still eat out but not as much. I definately will not be eating any beef from main stream fast food places lol. I watched a documentry on it and ya... ew. No thanks. Ill cook my burgers at home from now on. So gross what is in, and what they are doing to that meat.
In other news... We had a really good weekend. David and I went to the movies on Friday night together. We saw "Invictus". Its about Mandela from South Africa and his presidency after his incarciration and how he unites the country (black & white) through the national Rugby team. I thought it was pretty good. I wish they would have showed more of the political turmoil so that it was better understood what a huge deal the uniting of the nation was... but hey, Its Clint Eastwoods movie not mine lol.
Then on Saturday we woke up early and made breakfast. Took down all our christmas junk and packed it away. Then we showered and got dress and drove up to Anaheim to eat breakfast at Mimi's Cafe where Davids older sister Jen works. We finished breakfast by 10am and headed on into Disneyland for a bit. We were only gonna stay for like 2hours but then Davids oldest sister Marriane and her Daughter Kaylee (our niece) and Davids mom all showed up and wanted to hang out. So we ended up staying until about 2:30. Came home and did some errands around the house. I took a nap because I was in a lot of pain from over doing it with the walking. Got up and made homemade chicken philly cheese steak sandwiches. MMM! Then we met up with the Johnsons that night at in-n-out to enjoy some fries and shakes. YUMMMMAH!
Sunday was 9am church which we are still getting used to. Then after church we had lunch. Chicken and potato wedges. That was yummy. Then we had the Johnsons over for dinner. They brought a hybrid version of potato/egg salad lol. It was good though. Then i made shredded BBQ beef for our hoagie rolls, some potato salad (that I over did the oil on) and a salad. We would have had brownies for dessert but i didnt have eggs to make them lol. OOPS!
Anyways... Thats all I got for now. Hope you are all having a great week.
