My Pregnancy Update - 32 weeks

I'm 32 weeks pregnant now!

(Picture was used on my personal blog as well...hence the link. Check it out here)

Now I meet with my doctor every 2 weeks rather than every month like it has been up until now. My next appointment is scheduled for April 15th and I have a new doctor, due to my recent move over to the other coast of Florida in order to be with Jerrid while he is in season with the Arena football team.

My baby is kicking a lot and now the kicks are really visible! I can totally see the kicks and the weird movement in my belly when the baby moves. Sometimes I will look down at my tummy, and it will be severely lopsided and then the baby will move again and make all kinds of weird jiggles and movements! I could totally outline a tiny foot moving across my belly! Its so amazing to see and feel and helps reassure me that everything is good with my lil' champ! Those kicks in the ribs or my bladder hurt though... :)

I am experienced a bit of pregnancy insomnia lately (yes, its real!) I experienced this before and had tried to get over it, but forcing myself to sleep just doesn't help. It really does help when Jerrid is sleeping next to me because hearing him breathe relaxes me. He's away for an away game and won't be back until tomorrow at around 6ish, so I have been having trouble sleeping. Besides the fact that I am afraid of the dark...I know...I'm 23 years old and I'm afraid of the dark. It gets hard to sleep with a light when you get used to sleeping in the dark, since I had been, since I'm with Jerrid.

If you read my personal blog, then you already know about this...but 2 wonderful blogger friends have been so kind as to send my bun in the oven some amazing gifts!

Jaimie, a professional makeup artist and beauty blogger from JustKissN'Makeup.blogspot.com sent my baby a beautiful soft plushy baby blue bear! My baby will love this bear! I have been looking for beautiful teddies for my baby but could not seem to find one that felt right...this one is perfect! She also was kind enough to send me a gorgeous key chain with my first name initial, the letter K, and an amazing sleeping mask!

Kimberly Tia, a super crafty crocheting beauty blogger from KawaiiCraftsByTia.blogspot.com sent me a beautiful pair of handmade footies for my baby! They are tiny little crocheted Converse! How adorable! I can't wait to put them on my baby's feet! They will keep his feet so warm and cozy! You can check out her blog for more of her amazing crocheted masterpeices and even purchase them!

I cannot thank these amazing ladies enough! It was too kind of them!

Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!!

Browsing the web for cute baby things, I ran into this hilarious website for baby toupees! Yes, toupees for babies! They are so funny! They have a toupee called "The Bob" which is a Bob Marley beanie with dreadlocks...its too cute! They also have one called "The Lil Kim" which is a long haired pink wig. Click here to see the site! There is even a gallery where people have uploaded pictures of their babies in the toupees. Its super cute!

Until next time!

Intro: Baby Blabber

Welcome to my Pregnancy Blog!

I found this adorable template and thought it would be a great idea to start a blog about my pregnancy to be able to keep track of the milestones in my pregnancy and also to help other women with their pregnancy questions.

I am 28 weeks pregnant with a boy!

My name is Katrina. I am 23 years old and reside in sunny South Florida. I was a substitute teacher and Pre-K specialist after college. I later became certified to teach Social Studies and during my search for a career in education, I found out I was expecting a little blessing! I stuck to subbing and teaching the lower grades up until I was 4 months when I decided to put my career on hold for a bit to give my undivided attention to my pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy so i'm very paranoid about everything, but that is just the type of person that I am.

My fiance, Jerrid, is a 24 year old football player and is working on his professional football career.


We are both very excited to be parents and cannot wait for the arrival of our little boy!

We have decided to name our little bundle of joy after his daddy!

Here is a little bit of info on my pregnancy:

• I am 28 weeks along - 7 months
• I am having a boy
• I was the girl who googled every possible little bit of nonsense about pregnancy
• The Chinese Calendar was wrong for me
• The Old Wives tales about pregnancy are all wrong
• I'm craving Fruit Loops and cookies
• At this point right now, I am very energetic and excited
• My morning sickness stopped right at the 4th month mark, but prior to that I learned how to cope with it very well.
