stalking pregnant women

so...hi. I'll just be over here hiding in my apartment 

I have a herd of gluten free frenzied friends #allerterationisawesome who are out to get me until I finish my story of going un-gluten free.

I'm writing it...i promise. it'll be here soon :)

but until then...lets party...prego style.

haha

jk

I just kinda wish I could have a secret stalker that I would later kidnap and kife their video footage of me , just so I wouldn't have to pay someone to video me.

Well, not that I am so funny to video, but, seriously, pregnant women are crazy.

#sorrywithsomuchpregnancytalk #itsjustthatithinkaboutitalot #youknow? #thisbellystalksme

I was told the other day that I walk funny....

so with that said, I am apparently funny to watch, or at least funny watching walk or is it watching funny walk...whatever

Um....how about last sunday. I am sitting there on the couch. Eli was just put down. Nate usually takes a nap on sundays and I do all I can to stay awake (aka, eat or bake then eat) #dontfollowthatexample #hopefullythathabitwillbeoverwith...in2months

Anyway, Nate asked if I was ok, and realized i was crying. 

Here is our convo:

"I am sorry, I don't know why I am crying."

"Its ok. You're pregnant."

"No, for real. I don't know why I am crying. I am not sad, or mad. I don't want to cry. The tears are just streaming down my face and I don't want them to. "

"Its ok."

 "Just tell me about what you learned in sunday school/preisthood" (#sidenote, since I am in the primary presidency, I miss all that stuff so I like to get updated to radar if there is any crazy doctrine being taught in our ward...haha jk. I just like to)

So nate started telling me

then I start sobbing

"I am sooooooo sorry. Really, I don't know why I am crying."

"Jessica, its ok. I don't want to sweat, but I still do. So, your crying is like me sweating. You still love me even though I sweat, and I still love you when you cry, even though both are uncontrollable. But, you at least you smell much better than i do :)"

haha, isnt that so nice??

well, the part about me uncontrollably crying isnt. I dont know why i do that but, isnt nate so cute?

seriously, I don't know who its harder to be. The pregnant lady or the husband of the pregnant lady....

how about this one. 

last weekend I went to workout at our gym while nate watched eli. #nicetobealone

i might or might not have driven  to the gym. It might or might not be like right around the corner. So, my workouts at the gym these days consist of me sitting there, just moving my legs on a reclined bike. I still burn calories, and it really helps with depression, but I still think its funny. Its not even hard...but...um...I also, might or might not have had to stop like 4 or 5 times. and I might or might not have been gone for almost an hour, but i watched tv for most of that time...I mean, might or might not have watched tv. 

my two favorite things these days are my maternity pants and my new/old non-maternity/maternity undershirt. I wear them like every day!! Seriously. I mean, my pants dont even have to be unbuttoned to go to the bathroom...and being large with child, I have to go like all the time. But sometimes its so annoying I just dont...but not with these pants!! 

And my undershirt is a new addition to my maternity wardrobe! I am super excited. well, here's the back story:

We decided back in november that it was ok for me to get a smart phone if I didn't buy any clothes until after the baby was born. So I have been living out of my old maternity wardrobe that i spent a total of $2 on last time. Good thing I had people give me stuff otherwise I wouldnt have had maternity pants at all. Since i bought two shirts at a yardsale, and just wear my normal clothes for my whole pregnancy. But it gets annoying, because the bigger I get, the less clothes I have to wear. Anyway, so I found this wonder tee undershirt that was super long but long sleeved, so I cut off the sleeves and its the perfect undershirt to cover up my lower belly #nodraftshere

woohoo! so if you see me wearing the same clothes everyday...dont worry. Its all to save money and for the love my smart phone!

Also, sleeping is the funniest thing with pregnant women! seriously. we use so many pillows! right now, my thing is that I have to use a neck pillow to sleep...but not how you usually use it.

Like, we are commanded by the OB Nazi's to not sleep on our back. So side it is. But my ears hurt to sleep on my side #onlywhenimpregnant like really really hurt. wake up yelling it hurts. But only on the side i am sleeping. its weird I know. anyway, so i decided to try not having pressure on my ear, and it works! So, now i sleep with my ear in the neck hole of my neck pillow.

and a pillow under that

and a pillow between my knees to align the hips right

and a pillow behind my back sometimes to stabilize

I will soon graduate to a pillow under my belly.

Seriously, I can't wait to have this baby so I can finally sleep

Well, I am off to get Eli some food. He is so cute these days!

(doesnt he kinda look like an Abercrombie kid? Or a mini engineer haha
I take no credit for the cute clothes, my friend just gave them to me :)


He can say a lot of foods now...well, i can translate what he is saying. It takes him so much energy to say "orange" that he deserves one. Like right now! 

so, see ya!
