Busy bodies and one big belly!

It's been a very busy year and May and June are no exception to the plethora of activities we've had this year.  We've been busy with lots of weddings!  I'm roughly 30.5 weeks pregnant and still on the move (on the dance floor and on the beach!).  Baby Ella has been kicking and punching away and according to the doctor, is slowly making her way downward.  Today, she's chosen to stay horizontal which means her feet are kicking my ribs and her butt (still on the right side) is sticking out.  We're getting so close!

As for how I'm feeling...tired...very, very tired.  Our year has been jam packed with fun, but I'm beginning to reach a wall.  You know...the one where I'm finally beginning to huff and puff while not only going up the stairs, but just walking period...the one where I am just exhausted.  The doctor confirmed at my last appointment (not that I needed it), that I have just been too busy, on my feet for too long and not resting enough.  (Gee, I wonder if it was my bear-like feet/paws that gave it away.)

Beginning July 13th, I'll be on maternity leave and I'll be able to prop my feet up ALL DAY LONG! I can't wait!  Along with all these social activities, I've been training the person who will fill my position while I'm on maternity leave.  Argh!

This coming weekend, Wyatt will be at my sister's fiance's bachelor party in Vegas and I will be SLEEPING....all weekend.  :)  Baby Ella needs it (maybe Mommy too).  :P

Two weeks in a row, Wyatt and I attended two weddings that I wore the same maternity dress to.  (Hey, at this point, my options are limited.)

YES, Daddy shaved his beard for baby Ella's arrival!  Such a handsome Daddy-to-be, huh?

Daddy-to-be even danced with baby Ella on the dancefloor. :)


With a lot of help from the bridesmaids in my sister's wedding, I even managed to plan and attend my sister's bridal shower...



...and weekend bachelorette party in Malibu .  YES, at 7.5 months, I went to party (well, as much partying as one can do at this stage of the pregnancy).



As big as I feel and look, I still managed to get myself out on the beach with the girls (and in a bikini nonetheless!).  This was a miracle!  Kind of awkward, but I figured it's just another big belly memory for the books!


God Bless,
Kat

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
