Baby name woes!

I am glad we are not having a girl! We would have never agreed to a name...hubby hates cutesy names and I love them...after so many years of marriage you start realizing your difference in so many ways...I wish there was a thorough check list pre marriage...but when you are going out and engaged you do not know the other person's parenting style and o so many things...but I guess no two people are going to agree on everything 100%...and baby names is one of those things....

When I got pregnant with Ziad his name was decided on the same day I did the pregnancy test...hubby wanted to name the baby after his brother who passed away 23years ago...and his story was very touching to me that I had no problems with the name..it is a cute name...and ziad does love his name! during that pregnancy we could not agree on a girl name...if ziad was a girl he would still be without a name!

With Bilal I picked the name...hubby was not crazy about the name but got used to it..I used the you picked Zozo's name , it is my turn now....and it worked....and Bilal's name suits him and he does love his name too...all day long he spells it out...B-I-L-A-L BILAL...and his name is written all over books, notebooks, sheets of paper, a wall, a table...

Well now with baby boy #3....I want to name the baby Omar....I like the name...hubby likes it too..with one problem! Leave it to hubby to come up with this one! He will only agree to the name if the boys can say 30mar and not Omar! So the boys have three months to perfect the letter 3...sometimes they get it right but mostly it is an O sound....I tell him that by naming their brother Omar they will have get enough practice using the letter and perfect it...

So far he has not come up with an alternatives...MEN!

a sad goodbye..

It is official...after almost 19wks of being pregnant I have to say goodbye to my prepregnancy jeans!! They no longer button up comfortably over my expanding belly!!

Goodbye dear jeans , and other pants holding a size 6 and 4 tags....I hope to wear you shortly after January...Maybe...just maybe we will be together again by March or April or maybe june of 2009....no later....I promise!! For now I will hang you in the back of my closet to make room for my not as nice but comfy maternity jeans...so long!! I will miss you! *sniff, sniff*

dreams...a pregnancy post..enter at own risk...

When your are pregnant you have weird dreams right?? Well few night ago I had a dream about the baby...it was so weird...I am looking forward to my ultra sound to find out what the baby is so I can start shopping..This is my third baby but I have no baby clothes at all....my sister will be giving me her kid's clothes...which is ok..but I do not want my baby to have all hand me downs...so I am so excited about buying baby clothes...I really do not care if I buy pink or blue..I just want a healthy baby who is cute and a good baby...

Ok back to my dream...In my dream I moved the baby's clothes and saw that it was a boy...and I said to hubby why did we have to wait for the ultra sound..I could have just taken the baby's clothes off to find out what the baby is....isn't that so weird??? I wish it was that easy...There are lots more than clothing that have to be removed to see the baby now....Ok one more week and we will know..if the baby cooperates...so far both my kids we very cooperative and not shy at all to show their stuff, they still aren't...

I can not wait until the 19th to find out...and to see if everything is ok with the little guy/gal...

You know what is so annoying?? Braxton hicks contractions!! One minute you are minding your own business and the next you feel your belly is contracting and becoming a hard ball! At this rate this baby will come on it's own with no need to induce...:o/ I hope not!! It is so embarrassing but I have never gone into labour on my own...so I am terrified of it happening now!

no chocolates!

For the first time ever since I can remember I am completely chocolate free!!

I can not remember the last time I had a chocolate bar or even a tiny piece of chocolates...(ewwwwwwwwwwww)

I love this baby...he/she is making me hate sweets....give me salty or 7amed stuff...but sweets no thanks!!

Now with this no chocolates/cakes and other fattening stuff and going to the gym 3x a week I have not gained any weight yet and I am already in my 5th mo of pregnancy...YIPPY! and no body can make me feel guilty...I have been eating healthy three meals and healthy snacks like veggies...mostly baby carrots.., and fruits that are not too sweet like red rasberries ...YUMMMY!

The thing that I want to eat lots of are lemons! YUM!

Must it is girl this time eh?....she is already watching her weight so making me not eat bad stuff!!

nothing to blog about

I do not feel like blogging anymore...what is wrong with me?? I always had a million things I wanted to write about. I wrote about everything I did and thought..but now I can not think of any bloggable stuff...I thought about blogging about our weekend outings, and about hubby pretending to be sick so he wont go to work, but I keep on thinking no one cares , so what is the point...

Or maybe it is because it is summer, and I have alot other things to do ...going for walks, to the park, out with friends or just working on the yard...and I do not have snow to complain about it...I do have to vent about the bees and the wasps that are making my windows into their homes! or about how my arms and back are getting tanned but my legs are still white and pale! I am sick of using tanning cream on them..and forget about if going to the beach!

If anyone is wondering how I am doing pregnancy wise....(I know now cares) but I am doing well...actually I can not wait until next wed when I have my ultra sound so I can be sure there is a baby in there! (like throwing up for the first time last week does not prove it)..speaking of throwing up, I do not do it much..and this pregnancy I threw up once..Ziad was very amused and told everyone we met at the grocery store next day! how embarrassing! I am still not showing and can still fit into my regular jeans! I spent $60 on maternity Capri's I want to get some use out of them darn it! I hope I will be able to tell what the baby is next week......I think they should be able to know by 13wks no?

I just found out a week ago that I am not invited to a wedding...I do not why I am pissed off! I guess since I got a baby sitter to get used to the kids just because of this wedding in particular! I thought since they came to my wedding and the whole family came I would be invited to theirs...but I guess not! but it is OK I guess! It saves me $100...now what can I buy with that money that I just saved...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....anyways, they are so not invited to Ziad and Bilal`s weddings!

so much for nothing to blog about...I just had to get going eh..(my question mark button is not working..I can not figure out what I pressed to make another character appear..this one É...stupid É)

who put soap in my food??

Seriously am I the weirdest person or what? Everything I eat tastes like it has soap in it...at first I blamed it on my dishwasher! Poor little thing got me yelling at it for not washing the dishes good...it is a good thing it does not have any feelings! Then I ate an apple! It tastes like soap! Now I can not blame my dishwasher for this can I??

Water! It has no taste, no smell , no colour yet I am grossed out by it!! Ya3ni seriously who gets sick from drinking water?? How am I supposed to workout so I do not become an almost 170lb person in 8 months??

Ok now on to the good stuff! I am loving shopping! Now I have an excuse to shop and shop all I want...well I am buying tops...and the coolest thing is that they look like maternity tops...but they are not! so instead of paying $50 for a top I am only paying $20-30...

My jeans still fit OK for most of the day...but then they get tights sometimes...it is weird...I gain few lb through the day...I found the coolest thing! A belly band! I can undo my jeans and put this on...it keeps my pants up and it hides the fact that it is undone...I can make it narrow or make it show to look like I am wearing layers! It is a life saver...I am still too small for maternity pants...but my jeans do not have much room for growth and I do not want to go out and buy bigger clothes... not now! Maybe...just maybe a miracle will happen and I will be able to fit into my prepregnancy clothes not too long after the baby is born...HEY IT COULD HAPPEN! I will be able to get back to the gym 6wks after the baby is born...I am so glad I joined this gym! Other gyms only take babies 6months old and up...

I have not been in a blogging mood lately...I used to find everything bloggable few months ago now I do not...I wonder how long this will last...

a blah blah post...one of many..

Yesterday I made it to the gym for the first time in three weeks, it felt great to be working out again! I was feeling queasy when I left my house but after 35min of cardio my queasiness was ok! I did feel like gagging every time I drank some water! I was a bit paranoid when doing weight training and opted for using some free weights using 3 lb dumbells! I know I know too light....but better safe than sorry right at this stage...the baby is only the size of a sesame seed..so I gotta be careful! I do not know how something this tiny can turn a body upside down!

Yesterday I went shopping...since I am starting this pregnancy with my jeans already fitting right on, I do not have much room for growth (I could shoot myself for procrastinating and not hitting the gym earlier and for eating like a horse)...I bought some shirts that look like maternity clothes but are not...it is so great how those maternity style tops are in style, it saves me a ton of money for now at least!

Spring is finally back...I have to start my gardening! I have the browniest thumb in the world...I do not even know where to start...I am never ever buying a brand new house! Next time I buy a house it will have a garden that I just have to water! I am waiting for hubby to dig out the grass and get the top soil and start planting some shrubs and flowers so our poor house has something to make it look pretty on the outside..but hubby is a lazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I know I can do it myself..but like I said I do not know where to start!

Ok no more procrastinating...I am off to the gym now before child minding closes for the morning...

on being pregnant..

Yay I have new things to blog about now...after I came from Amman I had the snow to complain about, then spring came and I got busy with taking the kids out and stuff...but now I have a new thing to blog AKA complain about! being pregnant! Ah you guys will hate any pregnant woman in the next eight months!!

So this was very unplanned, but I think it is something in the air! I have three pregnant friends so far, pregnancy is contagious I tell ya!

Well I have been thinking about have a 3rd baby, but not now! I still wanted to lose those 10lb I have been talking about in the past year...and do you know what the due date for this baby is?? January 11!! in the middle of winter! when there might be snow storms!! With my luck I will actually go into labour on my own this time in the middle of a snow storm and end up having the baby in the car! Please please please let me not go into labour this time again..I like being induced!! I am going to call and order the epidural from now!

Ah the things I have to look forward to! In exactly two week my all day pregnancy sickness will start! I hardly throw up while pregnant, but I do have a mild nausea all day long for six long weeks! In those six weeks the sigh, or even the thought of water, milk and most liquids makes me sick...Hopefully it will be limited to water this time...I need milk and I'd like to be able to have some juice to keep hydrated! how am I supposed to workout without water...maybe this time I will not have water aversion!

I will keep on going to the gym 4x a week inshallah......It helped a lot with my two pregnancies...I only gained the 34lb I was supposed to gain even thought I did have way too many timbits and cheese cakes..

O I just found out that I am pregnant on Monday, but everyone already knows! I do not know how people can wait three months! I could not even wait for hubby to come home..I called him at work...I told the kids, my sister, my mom, your guys...my friends on babycenter...and if it was not too late in Jordan I would have called my mother in law, but not to fear...the next day I found hubby's niece on messenger and told her and now everyone knows......I can not keep anything from anyone! I am the same with gifts...we getting mama a patio table and gazibo for mother's day..and it is taking a lot of me not to mention anything to her! My kids always get their birthday presents early, because I just can not keep a surprise...I know tsk tsk..

When I told Ziad he got this thinking look and he asked me when did I buy the baby seed?? Why didn't I take him the baby store to help me pick a seed...and Why did I eat it without showing him how it looks like??! my bad! Few years ago I was showing Ziad pictures of babies in the womb...he asked how the babies got inside and I said well I guess the mommy's ate them! He got a very scared look on his face and asked "did you eat me???, are you going to eat me again?"...O what did I get myself into, so the whole baby seed story got started...when parents are ready to have a baby, they go into a special baby store and buy a seed , the mommy eats the seed and the baby grows in her tummy...it is not very far from the truth eh??

O well....at least now all clothes look like pregnancy clothes so I will not have a problem with shopping..heck I am going to go out and buy two new shirts today to hide my not yet visible baby bump...:) yay!
