I met another nurse at the hospital on Sunday who was preggers too. Her round belly was so dang cute! I figured she was 7 months or so. She was only 5 1/2 months. It kinda made me depressed because I don't even look pregnant. I just look like I'm getting fatter. I don't know why I got sad because I always knew I wouldn't look pregnant due to my weight before pregnancy. I was jealous I guess that I don't look cute.
My baby shower is getting so close! I even went and bought a maternity shirt to wear. My shopping today was also depressing. I'm too fat for the cute maternity shirts. The plus size maternity shirts were way too big. I was able to find a cute little dress and a shirt. But again it doesn't even look like a maternity shirt on me.
Good news at my check up today though. Dr. D said my weight gain is good, blood pressure is good and my uterus is up past my belly button. His heart rate was around 150 which is also perfect. She also told me that both of my sisters and husband can be in the delivery room. They were both very excited to hear that and I can't wait for them to experience his birth!

Where are the months going?
Only 20 days until my baby shower! 19 days until I get to see my BFF J! She is planning this whole shower all the way from Washington state. My sisters and my other BFF J(her sister)are also helping since they live here. J is flying in on the 5th and I can't wait to see her! It has been almost a year since I have seen her and I miss her like nobody's business.
I can't believe that October is halfway over already. These months are just flying by. C is kicking so much and I can tell he is getting bigger because he has moved up near my belly button. My next doctors appointment is next Monday where they test me for gestational diabetes. I pray everyday that I have no complications during my pregnancy or labor and delivery. I am most scared of high blood pressure that can lead to preeclampsia. I feel that this is the most dangerous and can lead to fetal death.
P was diagnosed with high cholesterol. I am so sad because he isn't even 30 yet. He isn't going to take medications though. He will just try to manage his diet and join a gym. Wish him luck because I know he needs it.

6 months already?
I can't believe I'm already 6 months pregnant! It has went by so fast yet my delivery date seems so far away. My baby shower is less than a month away. October and November are such busy months for me at work and with Dr appointments. I think I have 2 things to do a week. I'm most excited about a breastfeeding class that P and I are going to together. I'm so excited to bond with my little boy in this way.
All I have wanted to do lately is SLEEP. Friday and Saturday night I slept 12 hours straight and didn't wake up feeling like crappola like I usually would. It just makes me feel so rested and rejuvinated. Wish I could do it every night! It really takes a lot of energy to make a baby!
T really likes his Invisible Fence. He saw a squirrel today and chased it around without going out of the yard. It was really cute. We leave him inside at night because he will bark if there are any suspicious noises. If we are here and we put him outside he will just stand at the door waiting for us to let him in. He loves us. He also lost 3 pounds from his last vet appointment in December. He weighs 85 pounds now. The vet said that is exactaly what he needs to weigh.

Welcome to my everynight.
Every single night I have been having the most vivid, detailed dreams. I never remember them but always wake up thinking, "wow". The past two mornings Patrick has left early for work and wakes me up from said dreams. I tell him the dreams as soon as I wake up because it's fresh. Yesterday's I don't remember but today's I did. It was 5:30am by the way and I was unable to go back to sleep so I went to Wal-Mart. Wal-mart at 7am on a Sunday is the ONLY time to go by the way. It was very nice.
Last night's dream: I was a man. I lived in a huge mansion. I was bored and had a pair of binoculars so I looked out the window at my neighbors house. He also had a huge mansion. He was home and so was his naked girlfriend. They were snorting coke. He saw me spying on him and he came over to my house mad as hell. He told me he was the head of a drug cartel and I was going to die. I ran and hid but it was like in a secret bathroom in my house. I wasn't alone there were many mexican people there also trying to escape him. The next thing I know, I'm sitting on a dock at some lake at around 3am. I apparently had escaped to Mexico, got a new identity and was trying to get back into America, illegally. Only 8 people were allowed on this small boat and we were chosen by how fast we could but a jigsaw puzzle together. I was getting so mad at this old Mexican lady because she kept stealing pieced of my puzzle that were already put togheter. I would have to yank it out of her hand and put the whole piece back together. It was making me SO mad, but I finally got a ticket. We were told to bring a baby bottle filled with formula(?), something to eat and a drink because we would be traveling all night. I forgot my food which triggered a memory of one last meeting with my family before I had gone to Mexico. I was a woman now. My niece K and C were there, my only nephew, and my oldest sister. We had gone to the beach and had a nice time. I had forgot to bring a lunch so my nephew went to Sonic for me with my last 2 dollars in change I had. Cut back to waiting on my boat. We got into the boat and traveled all night through a swamp and got to America. Several of us got into a car and were back in DFW. We got a flat tire in the rain and were so worried that a cop was going to stop and try to help and find out we were illegals. A truck pulled up behind us and I decided that since I spoke English I would get out. Turns out the people that stopped to help spoke Spanish only.
I know, it's confusing and CrAzY! Welcome to my everynight.
