Walking on the Rainbow

Me: (feeling the BH contractions) "More,  Braxton contraction sucks....  can you imagine how the real ones gonna be?"

Keith: "Well, don't think about that.... just dream with the epidural and then walking on the rainbow..."

Me:"kkkkkkkkkkkk..."

My man makes me laugh all the time! I'm so blessed to have a fun man cheering me up. I think he got that from his dad!

I started feeling much pain now.... the BH contractions suck big time! They say if you move the position they will go away, but it's not true for me... I know they aren't the real ones though cz I'm not out of my mind and there is no pattern as they come and go. But still, they are very uncomfortable. I wonder, if I'm not "enjoying"the fake contractions, how much will I tolerate the real ones?! Hum... my mind is not settled yet in "walking on the rainbow" but I got say it is a very attractive idea!

32 weeks

I'm 32 weeks prego and just came from the doc and everything looks fine! I told him that I started feeling some cramps (like menstrual ones). Some times they are very intense and then they go away. He said I was having the Braxton Hicks contractions and that was normal! I just need to get out of my feet and drink water when they happened! I'm glad it's nothing to worry about!

I can't believe I'm already 32 weeks! It seems yesterday that I found out I was prego! I can't wait to see my little guy!

My sleeping baby!

Well, Nicholas was sleeping and had his hand on his face during the ultrasound (again)! But, this time we could see some part of his face. The quality isn't good at all.... because the position he was, but we can see one eye, nose and his little mouth.
Funny how on Sunday his head was to my right side. Today, his head was facing down....  but more to my left side and  he was all curled like a ball. His little toe was right on his face! I guess he's trying to get  into position to come out.

PS: It may take a while to recognize what is what because of the quality, but if you look at it for while your eyes get used to it and then you can see.

See the little two balls? Yeah, that's a boy!
(Tah vendo essas duas bolinhas? Eh um menino!)

Here he is yawning! Look at his little mouth!
(Aqui ele esta bocejando)

I like that I can see his little nose and his lips!
(Gosto dessa pq da pra ver o narizinho e a boquinha)


Here he has one hand on his mouth and one on his eye
(Aqui ele tem uma mao na boca e a outro no olhinho)

Weekend....

This weekend was very fun! Party, good food, and girls night out! Also we went to get our 3D/4D ultrasound. I was so excited that we were going to see baby Nicholas.... but unfortunately, it didn't work out the way I was expecting! Baby Nicholas didn't show at all his face to us! For the whole time he had his arms covering his face! Man, the lady said some babies are stuborn and just don't want to move! Funny though that this little one moves all the time, but when we want him to move he decides to take a break! The good thing is she confirmed that it is a boy!!!! So, now I'll have to go back there on Tuesday to try again! Let's cross fingers that he is in a good mood by then!
