Day 207: 07/26
Zilla and mommy have made it a habit to go to the park on Sundays at noon. You, know right when the sun is blazing hot and there is almost no shade. At least the park is empty and no one is there to witness that I forgot to put my bra on...yeah that happened.

Lots of fun at GND! We were celebrating one of our girls' baby on the way! And of course decided it would be fun to use a TENS unit to simulate labor. Day 209: 07/28
Tuesdays this summer has meant hubskie is in school. This week I invited our neighbors over to pass the time with in the evening. Roodle and Zilla are impressing us with their tumbling skills.

Look at this little cutie loving his swimming pool!
Day 211: 07/30
Zilla loves to be just like Dada. And Dada loves to oblige him and let him wear his clothes. Mama loves tot ake pictures of these precious father-son moments.
Day 212: 07/31
We taught Zilla that firemen help people and take them to the hospital. So he asked me to help him expand his firetruck so that he could take his dolls to the hospital too. His imagination is so amazing!
We got to celebrate our precious little niece's one year birthday!
Zilla wasted no time in friending the nearest blonde.
Day 214: 08/02
We went to Red Lobster with Nina. The managers were kind enough to let Zilla touch and learn about Larry the Lobster.
Day 215: 08/03
Oh my heart. I can't believe he is old enough to be wearing a uniform. I just want to hit pause and enjoy this stage in his life for a little longer. Tantrums and all.
This Tuesday we spent some time doing dishes and enjoying the sweet products of summer. Thank goodness for watermelon!
And then I missed a bunch of days...
Day 220: 08/08
We went to the circus with the whole family. The kiddos really enjoyed watching the lions and tigers. Zilla got a little overstimulated and by the end we were mostly walking in and out of the show with a crying little boy.
Day 221: 08/09
Oh hey Sunday afternoon tradition of baking in the sun! Zilla and I were again the only people outside. At least I was smart enough to bring the car this time rather than walking there and back.
Just before I woke him from his nap to go to Mass. I'm just glad he only took off his pants and not his diaper.
Zilla had a little bit of sickness on Monday. I was more than happy to stay home with him. I would do this everyday if it was possible.
Panini Update!
27 weeks pregnant with Zilla vs 27 weeks with Panini
Let's see let's see. Monday the 3rd I had a minor scare in which I had decided that I wasn't feeling Panini as much as a I had been. I went to the doctor and they hooked me up to some machine that was measuring...?...The real fun (not) part was when it took 10 minutes to find Panini's heartbeat. Longest 10 minutes of my life. But once it was found everything on the test looked great.
I got an ultrasound last Thursday but Panini was being very shy so I didn't get to really see him. But all the measurements were on track, yea!
I jogged this weekend and my ligament pain was much less than it has been, so that was a nice surprise.
Panini only likes to move at night. I'll get random kicks/punches during the day. But long stretches of movement only come once I am in bed. This makes it very difficult for anyone other than myself to feel him.
New pregnancy symptoms! I already mentioned the heartburn. It has a happened a couple more times, but seems to be easily controlled with some tums. The one that I loathe is the itching. It's not just my belly, but my whole body itches; from my head to my toe. It gets worse at night, which makes sleeping interesting. I brought it up to my doctor and he said not to worry about it. But the Google bug hit and I have now diagnosed myself with a liver problem that is going to result in needing to be induced. I mean, it could very well just be general itching, but I'm a worrier so if you'll just pray that this is not the case, I would appreciate it. I will of course follow up with Dr. Behan about this next week.
Speaking of which, we are down to doctor's visits every two weeks!! WHAAAAT?! That means it is super close. And we have made all of 0 progress on the nursery. I'm feeling really great about this. We did plan to have a garage sale this coming week but also have not done anything to prepare for this. So in general, things are going great in the preparation department.
That's all for now!

Mia always moved very little during the day too so I always got freaked out. Sometimes I'd poke her or drink something really cold just to make her move! Also, if it makes you feel any better, I was also really itchy towards the end of my pregnancy, and thankfully no liver issues! If you don't use it already, Bio Oil will help out a lot with the itching, particularly on the belly!
ReplyDeleteThat's one fancy swimming pool! And he looks great in his uniform!
