I know it's been a while since my last post. I can't recall anything really "blog-worthy" happening these past few weeks, but I do have some note worthy stuff now!
And I do apologize in advance, I really suck at taking pictures of these cool adventures I go on. (And you'd think that since I have such a sweet, expensive camera, AND an iPhone, I'd do better). I promise, for blogging purposes (and of course, to keep as good memories) I will do better!
Anyways, this weekend was fantastic! Jake's dad, Roger, and his step-mom, Anita, took us on a little rafting trip. Those two are total "river rats" as Jake would say. Our rafting trip took up most of the day, and wasn't as intense or scary as I had anticipated. I was expecting some intense rapids or to possibly be thrown from the raft, but Roger and Anita definitely wanted to start me out on something I could handle, but would still give me a taste of what rafting really is. And if you know me, I never say no to adventurous activities!
They took super good care of me, and made sure I understood all of the commands, and I picked it up pretty well! I wasn't scared at all, got a few butterflies at the intense rapids in the end, but that just left me wanting more. Roger told me those rapids were probably a "class 3". If that's the case, I could totally see me handling a class 4, or maybe even a 5. But we'll save that for after the baby makes it's arrival.
Speaking of baby, my insurance/Medicaid coverage has FINALLY been straightened out, and I can finally get some prenatal care! I am a little overdue for it (about 5-6 weeks overdue for me first appointment), but it's better late than never. According to what Planned Parenthood had estimated me at, I started my Second Trimester yesterday. That would put me at 13 weeks. So, we are already 1/3 of the way there! I feel like it's already flying by! According to an app I have on my phone, about this time most of the common pregnancy symptoms usually subside (ie: morning sickness), which I haven't had at all, but my energy is back and it's so nice to not feel like I need to take several naps throughout the day just to function. I've started to slowly ease my way back into the gym (nothing strenuous, just trying to be all around more physical if anything!) which isn't an issue for me, seeing how much of a "gym rat" I was prior to conceiving, my body can handle it without going into shock. I just have to make sure my heart rate doesn't spike too high, and doesn't stay too high for a long period of time. So I just make sure I take plenty of breaks between sets and drink plenty of water.
The most important task I have this week is finding me a doctor, which thanks for Facebook friends, I think I may have found one! Saves me a lot of time and stress, and these doctors also deliver at St. Luke's in downtown Boise, which is exactly where I want to have the baby, so it's perfect! I need to get in this week since I'm so behind on my prenatal care. I've been doing everything I can on my own thus far (prenatal vitamins, avoiding certain foods, watching my diet, etc.) so I think there won't be much change. Unfortunately, Jake is out of town all week with his band recording their second album (which I think is SUPER awesome! Not just because I'm his "baby mama", but how many people can say they've recorded two albums, let alone ONE!), so if I do happen to get in this week, he won't be there. Which I know he wants to SO bad, but if I can get in this week I need to take it. Medical care for the baby is the most important thing right now. I'll just give him super detailed updates! :)
So, he leaves today (Sunday), and will be back next Sunday. 8 whole days. It's really not going to be a bad thing though. As much as I love spending everyday with him, we both need our own time to do things we want to do, ESPECIALLY before the baby comes. He needs his "guy time", and I need my "girl time". But the nice thing about this week is I will be working a lot, and I'll also have a lot of time to catch up on things ( like CHORES) and will more than likely do some more "nesting". I've been trying to teach myself to crochet, but its really hard to watch YouTube videos on my iPhone screen and really see the stitches. Luckily, my mom is a crocheting-sewing super woman, so I'll be spending a lot of time at my parents house learning the trade. I really do wish I knew the sex of the baby already because I want to start making curtains and bedding for the nursery, but we're only a few weeks away from knowing, so I just have to be a little more patient, but this will also give me ideas on how to decorate the nursery for a boy. I have my "girl" nursery all planned out, but need a boy's room idea just in case.
Ok, enough talk. I'll post more as more things happen, and YES, I will post pictures too!
xoxo
