OPERATION: Hot Momma in FULL ALERT!

I've been in my Wisdom course since Friday and one of the fun things about our weekends is our Social Event! This social event's topic was "Talen/No Talent Show". Anyone with or without talent participated! Our group came up with doing a scene from MacBeth. There were three of us girls that stepped up to be one of the three Witches. We all dressed in Black and wore masks. This is what I wore. Michelle said to me at the end, "You were suppose to be a nasty witch, not a hot witch in heels". I told her it was my new spin on MacBeth! Besides, who says hot witches can't play a nasty witch part??? Hmmm???

Either way, the weekend was amazing! I got to share with everyone what I've been up to, my pregnancy. When I started Wisdom back in February, I was pregnant and didn't even know it! Now, six months later, I have been able to see the shift I have had around my pregnancy. One thing was my "blind" attachment to how James "should" be about me being pregnant with his child. I finally got that he's a no to participating the way I WANT him to participate. In the background, I kept wishing and hoping that he would participate the way I "expected". And when he wasn't doing that, I would be upset, boo hoo and cry to Erik and Melissa---who wouldn't get enrolled in it! I would make him wrong about everything and anything, etc. I was able to really be responsible for all my suffering and upset when he wasn't showing up like I was hoping he would, or expecting he would by getting it was ME who was creating it all. I have literally disappeared being upset because I was the one creating the expectations. :-)

The other thing that shifted for me is: I got a job!!! I had a conversation shortly after I found out that I was pregnant that, "No one will hire me because I'm pregant"! Ha, ha, ha! When I shifted that conversation to, "I have a lot to offer a company and being pregnant will not impact my performance or the results I can produce", I had a job in a week and a half.

So, after this weekend, I'm excited to really take on the next level of expansion for myself, which is finding a place to live and child care for my son.

That's all for now! Love you lots!!!!

Jamieson & I....

Here I am...fully showing--even a little skin! I'm still able to wear most of my tops and am getting a little too big for my pants. Even the belly band isn't helping much these days. I'm feeling GREAT! I spend a lot of time getting "beat up" from the inside. Jamieson has a routine of moving, kicking and moving and kicking! He's very active during the morning, mid-day and at night before I go to bed. He's kicking and moving around right now as I type this!

My mom sent me a custom design "Vera Bradley" backpack (which I'll post separately). In it, she sent me some cute little clothes!!! The bottom one, I picked out recently because it reminded me of James. He's a Leo and for those of you who know my interest in Astrology (yes Justine...I can hear you giggle now), Leo's are Lions. So the "Roarrrr" and the lion is what got me! ;-) Anyway....Enjoy!!! xoxo!

"He's just like his Mom"...

I have shared with my friend Erik how the baby moves around a lot as I'm going to bed. So, last night, the baby was moving and rolling and I told Erik to put his hand on my belly. He felt the baby move and then kept waiting for him to move again. There was no movement. Then, Erik yells, "Peanut...It's your Uncle Erik". Still no movement. Erik says loudly again, "Peanut"!!! I'm laying in bed giggling. Then Erik finally gives up and says, "He's just like his mom...never listens to me". Hahaha! I laughed so hard.

Next Dr. appointment is on June 18th! I can't wait to see him on the ultrasound. He's grown twice the size since the last ultrasound.

My Belly is finally getting bigger than my Boobs!

Not one of my best photos but the photographer that I was working with didn't seem to care about having me look good---THANKS ERIK!! ;-)

I'm feeling really great. I've gained only 12 lbs and 21 weeks along. The book I've been reading says at 5 months, the baby is about 10 inches long from head to toe...about the length of a big bannana. Jamieson Anthony is VERY active in the womb. He's busy moving all day and rests around dinner and then active just as I'm going to bed. I can now put my hand on my belly and feel him move around. Today, I was laying out in the sun in the late afternoon. I decided that I'm tan only in the front....because I'm always on my back. So, I tried to lay slightly on my stomache and just when I decided it was not a comfortable position, I get this big KICK from the inside like, "Hey, what they heck are you doing to me"?! I laughed and told the little peanut that I got the message! Hahahaha! All the while, giggling.

So, now that I've secured myself in the world of career and making money again, I've been on the hunt for a place to live. My friend Lisa introduced me to her friend Leslie. I went to Leslie's house to meet her and to get a feel for what it would be like to live with her and her daughter. It's a great place just a little more than what I have budgeted to pay. That will be my next mountain to move....finding affordable living.

Well, that's it for now! Love to you all! xoxo
