This is EXACTLY how I feel since I’ve been pregnant. I ain’t playin’ no mo’e!

So, today is worked 8-1pm. I then went home sat on my ass until 5:30 but in the mean time I read a book and ate 4 bowls of cereal. Yes, I said 4. Then went back to work for another 3.5 hours. Yay, TIME&AHALF! Before you judge me on my excessive cereal eating, my way of justifying it is that my bowls aren’t very big. We’ve had the same cereal bowls since I was like five and I refuse to use anything else! Now, I want more cereal but I’m trying to fight the urge. I typically don’t eat dinner at my parent’s place cuz aside from my dad’s traditional Mexican dishes he usually tends to “experiment” and throws a bunch of crap into a pan and calls it breakfastlunchanddinner. :]

SOOOO, I totally stole this from my lovely co-worker Sarah. Right off her pants! Haha. Jk. Well, Kinda. I freaked out when I saw it and she gave it to me right then and there. LOVEHER<3 Now I owe her :D

This past week has been one of the best in awhile.. Allow me to explain.

TUESDAY: Brunch with my beautiful “White Girls” (Trish, Aundrea, and Little Lily) and then spent the rest of the day lounging around, chit-chatting, and then found we all have a common desire to “party plan” so we spent the afternoon planning our first party together :D hehe. At night I hung out with my Summer Girls (Amethys, Jan, and Nicole T. <— We were missing Jessica T. )’: We ate dinner at Yardhouse on Santana Row and spent the whole night catching up on the last six months and talking about our least favorite subject .. dun dun dun .. THE FUTURE! The older we get, the busier we get, and the things and events we thought were light years away are suddenly smacking us right in the face ( i.e. Babies, marriage, moving out/relocating, graduating)! It’s all happening so quickly! However, I do know that no matter what happens in my life these people have always had my back even if we don’t necessarily talk everyday. <3

WEDNESDAY: The dreaded, but loved, VERMONSTER DAY! UGGGGGHHHHH! The only great part about this is having this tradition with my three of my best friends Matthew, Tri, and Justin. Tri wasn’t physically here again so we had to Skype him in again! I miss our adventures together, but we’re all growing up and off exploring the world. :]   ____________ The other awesome part of the day was wearing my first maternity shirt .. ever! My sister gave me her maternity clothes and i gave up searching for something to fit me so I wore one of the shirts she gave me. <3 Then I had preggo yoga at night and theeeeeennnn went to watch Captain America with Casandra, Justin, and Matty. :D

THURSDAY: Work then hang out with my sister and my monsters! Then I dragged them to La Milpa with me for dinner. YUMMM!

FRIDAY: Circus day!!! I haven’t been to Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey’s circus since i was kid. I had a coupon so I made the whole family go. It was quiet awesome! The loud music made the baby wiggle around in my belly for the whole first half of the show. I don’t know if he was dancin’ or if he was annoyed. Haha. Whatever it was .. it made me laugh. :] <3

Idk what is in store for me today but I’m sure I’ll have fun doing it. In the mean time, peace & love. I’m out.

This could explain why my legs feel like Jello at the very end of the day but NOMATTERWHAT it is ALWAYS worth it. <3

Ugh, I miss Disneyland so much! </3

I don’t think I ever grew up in that era, but I sure do wish that kind of courtesy still existed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Today was a HUGE day for me in the preggo life. I swear I felt the baby kick for the first time today. :] It felt like little bubbles popping. I wasn’t sure what it was so I asked my sister and she was pretty sure that was it. How cute <3 Later in the day Matthew, Justin, and friends went to the park and I left to my car to change into some shorts. Well, little did I realize how tight those shorts were around my waist and struggled to put my shoes on because I could not bend over O_O This triggered my brain to finally consider buying maternity jeans -__- FUDGE. So, I bought my first 2 pairs of jeans online tonight! I hope they fit! Haha. TMI: Matthew and I quickly went to Victoria’s Secret today so I can get sized. The result was not to my liking. He on the other hand thought it was hilarious (actually, he think anything that has to do with being pregnant is funny! Like the elastic on maternity jeans! D:< ) The chick basically told me they were going to be huge MASSVE by the time this is all over with. I don’t know how to accept that, but I just hope they look good in the process. ;D

-Baby Boy’s first kick [Check]
-First maternity clothes purchase [Check]
-First maternity sizing [ughhh… Check]

I’m glad I can finally start being excited about this.<3

My day with my Matty 7/17/11: Fabulous day. Breakfast at Bill’s Cafe, fancy tea at noon joined by Lil, then Fireworks Ceramics in Mountain View to finish projects we started over a year ago :P
