33 weeks and ready to have this baby! I’m sick of being pregnant. I hope I get scheduled for an early delivery or something. Jeremy actually wants another baby too… he’ll have to give me 2 years. I so understand why surrogates get paid up to $45,000. I just want my body back :-(.

Anyway, day 6 of juicing, I kind of went off of it on Day 4 and 5. I was hungry so I needed to get some food in this belly. Mama and baby gotta eat. Speaking of eat, I can’t wait until Saturday! I’m going to Rudy’s and I’m getting a baked potato and some peach cobbler. OMG those potatoes are so dang good! Anyway, let me stop talking about food and go drink some juice.

I had my ultrasound yesterday and we found out that my baby is a nice 4 lbs and 10 oz. Now the doctor said it could be off by a pound, but due to my belly’s growth spurt, I doubt it. I haven’t been able to see the neonatologist yet because they’re still getting it approved through Tricare, but, they said her omphalocele looks pretty small. I’m thinking she’ll probably have a quick little surgery when she’s born, but nothing major.

I dreamed about my baby the other night, I love those dreams. In my dream she was a boy, but it was her. You know how they say dreams sometimes flip genders and races. In my dream she was a big baby too, with some big ol’ legs. Seems pretty prophetic, lol.

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, also… I did my juicing yesterday and I didn’t once cheat! We went to this juice bar and the guy there  made me and Jeremy these two drinks. Mine was of course some girly “cheat” juice. It was pineapple and orange juice and strawberry and SO good. Jeremy had this broccoli blueberry juice which was pretty good too. I was shocked. Like, I could taste the broccoli, but it was pretty good. Anyway, time to knock down Day 2.

Juicing During Pregnancy

Ugh, so today my little smokey hurted his little foot :-( At first I thought he broke it, but it was just sprained. Thankfully Jeremy was home so I didn’t freak out quite as much as I would have if he wasn’t. All the stress from my little furbaby crying really started working on my stomach. I started cramping, having shortness of breath, and pains (down under). I laid down and then I started having horrible crunching pains in my stomach, I was really worried that I might go into preterm labor… butttt, a few hours later, I pooped and was all better, lol.

In other news, me and Jeremy were talking about juicing and I’m kind of excited about it. I plan on starting tomorrow. But I’m going to start with V8 juice, just to see if I can. I don’t want to buy a juicer only for us to get to the 3rd day and be like “Let’s go get a burger” lol. But you’re pregnant, you should be eating meats… yep, uh huh, that’s nice, I’m still doing it and unless you’re going to pay for liposuction after I have this baby… you’ve got the right to remain silent. :-P Besides, a person who’s juicing gets about 1200 to 1800 calories a day, but the difference is, it’s all good, no trash and CLEARLY my main motivation would be… my vanity. I can’t even lie and say I’m doing it for health though… I’m not. I feel like when the good lord wants to take you, he will and it doesn’t matter how well you did or didn’t eat. Our lives and purpose are so much more important than that. Vegans die from cancers, runners turn 50 and can barely walk, and the super health conscious go from looking 25 until their 35 to 50 at 40… Big mama been eating hamhocks and sweet potato pie for years and she’s still going so… But anyway, I’ll be juicing from tomorrow until HOPEFULLY the end of my pregnancy, but who knows, and for any naysayer… in the words of Cartman (South Park) Whatever, I do what I want.

Ooh, also I made my first diaper cake! It’s not done but it actually looks very nice, I’ll post pictures of the finished product!

Today has been a rough day! I got about 3 hours of sleep and then went to do my glucose test at 7 AM! I seriously thought I would like the drink because I’m a sugar addict… nope. It was just as awful as everyone says. Don’t know if I passed or failed yet though, I’ll find out Tuesday.

After that we went to Ihop and got some grub. That was probably the highlight of my day. I took a few picture even though he didn’t want me to. Thats my Jummy in his military glasses. He’s like the sexiest nerd ever. Anywho, after we left Ihop, Jeremy decided to show me where he used to live in Horizon City and that’s when he got some pretty bad news. We found out his cousin died. That really hit him pretty hard. It sucks because I’ve never dealt with a death besides my father… and I didn’t have a relationship with him so I really wasn’t moved, just happy to see my family. I just didn’t understand, so I just felt so awkward… I wanted to, but I didn’t. I was grieved that he was grieved… but I just don’t understand those things.

Later on we went grocery shopping and I was so tired it was ridiculous. I was tired, hot, and retaining mega water. I was seriously 2 seconds away from cursing out the old lady in front of me for taking so long. But God is good, he keeps us when we can’t keep ourselves. I did shoot a few deadly daggers however. And speaking about swelling! OMG! I normally have bony veiny feet, but today they look like pigs feet with 5 sausages on the end of each foot. lol…

Bottom line… I feel like crap.
