Jeff and I learned a lot about boobs and their functionality at our 2.5 hour class on breastfeeding. He is super intrigued, I am still grossed out. But its the best thing for Madison so I will endure and be FINE!
In addition to the extra 5lbs I put on since my last dr's visit I apparently grew upstairs too.
Yep I was laying in bed the other day and my boob was in my neck...weird......YES!
Got my first sleep nursing bra yesterday (thank you granny) which resulted in my finding out that I am right at a DD...... WHAT!?!?! And they are supposed to get bigger after birth WOW!!! I'm too little for a huge belly and DD boobs, its just not right! :) Anyway, Jeff and I were pretty shocked at knowing I have grown from a full C to DD in no time at all!
Boobs, boobs, boobs. Thats all I can say!

continuation of pregnancy as a blessing
So you know how they do the commercials for medications and talk about all the risks of taking the medication...
They should do the same thing for middle school and high school health class for young girls to hear all the possible side effects of pregnancy. I think it would be a big help cause until you are actually pregnant you don't know about a lot of the side effects that can happen (atleast I didn't)
LUCKILY.....in the side effects list I only (so far) have dealt with head colds in the beginning, lack of energy in the beginning, of course weight gain (which has been the hardest for me), backaches and now recently leg cramps and swollen feet. Oh and I hate the smell of my favorite beer. :)

Pregnancy is a blessing?
Side effects could include:
Nausea, vomiting, gestational diabetes, weight gain, headaches, backaches, facial redness, dry skin, head colds, constipation, leakage, lack of energy, swelling, stretch marks, tenderness in the breasts, chloasma, difficulty breathing, skin rashes, changed center of gravity, clumsiness, forgetfulness, round ligament pain, internal pain from movement and kicking, vericose veins, diarrhea, odd food cravings, lack of sexual desire, cramping of organs, increased urination, enlarged areola, swollen glands, hemorrhoids, vaginal infections, leg cramps, carpel tunnel syndrome.
That does not include the additional pains and issue from labor nor does it include the entire list (i ran out of commercial time....lol).
So can someone please tell me why women are "blessed" to be pregnant. I mean think about it...... the dad has all the same benefits after pregnancy and birth as the mom does and doesn't have to deal the side effects OR the labor OR the recovery.
Just a thought....

Pregnancy Dreams
Well after months of being pregnant I am starting to consistently dream about different stages of baby. Here are just a few recaps of the many I have enjoyed lately:
Protective Mommy:
Jeff and I are walking up our street for our morning exercise when a woman asks us to help her in her garage. We both walk up to help and from her table she pulls out a gun (in my mind whe was trying to kidnap me to have my baby). She pulls the gun out and I leap across the table at her, grab the gun and shoot her right in the middle of the forehead. :)
Version 2 - She lives because I only shoot her in her lower abdomen (where a baby could be) and her kneecap. That way she had to suffer in jail.
DON'T MESS WITH MY BABY! :)
Saleswoman in labor:
Jeff and I are in the hospital bed and I'm all ready to push for baby and all the nurses are running about and I'm handing them all Mary Kay gift bags with a look book and I'm telling them to make sure they come back in about 10 minutes so we can then book their facials. I think my exact words in the dream were "If you could just give me 10 minutes to get this over with, then we can book those wonderful free facials for each of you!"
BIG BABY!:
Last night I dreamt that Madison was born and she was a BIG OLE BABY! She had bright blue eyes, bright red hair and was just big and thick and heavy and she immediately started breastfeeding correctly...no issues there (we jut did a 2.5 hr class on breastfeeding). When I say big and thick and heavy I MEAN IT, she was a solid hardcore thick girl, ready to knock zeus down she seemed so strong. :) My other girlfriend (unnamed) was there with me and she had her baby too and her baby was itty bitty, I mean premie size. Needless to say I wanted a small baby and she wanted a big ole plump baby so we were talking about what we ate and stuff so next time we did it right. LOL!
In most of my dreams I now acknowledge I'm pregnant, some I'm a spy doing all these hardcore spy stunts but I'm preggers, I've had one or two where I'm carrying an empty beer bottle around and everyone is staring and whispering LOL!, and a few other versions of the protective mommy dream (all end up with the other person dead).
So apparently I'll kill without a thought if there is a threat to me or Madison, I think that mentally I'm still in the same shape that I was pre baby, I apparently want an adult beverage and Madison is going to be a thick and heavy, blue eyed, red headed child (she'll take after Zeus). :)
