*trying* to eat a better diet. the feeling i have been feeling lately has been so miserable. i decided to cut out caffeine and eat smaller portions and healthier option. it’s so hard cuz the pregnancy cravings are so real. i decided to have 1 small dessert a night after eating smaller meals and small snacks. surprisingly i look pretty normal. everything else looks normal but my stomach which is obviously suppose to be round. but not about gain it’s about feeling so swollen after eating. i’m hoping cutting the caffeine will help. i started to get crazy and started getting coffees daily. my stomach was still achey but mostly when walking around. i am drinking a lot of water throughout the day as well. i hope this new method of eating helps cuz i can’t take feeling so swollen every time i eat anything. i had a yogurt & ginger/lemon tea in the morning, half a wrap for a early lunch, half a salad for the other part of my lunch but 2 hours later, half a sub and soup & i had a small hot fudge sundae. im told to eat frequent, smaller meals a day. like 5 times a day i should be eating but small portions. tomorrow we’re having chorizo and broccoli for dinner. 

i went thrift shopping today & got a dress with cherries on it. i took a shower today and when i was shaving i cut myself. thinking the blood would be over with after the shower i got dressed, lotion etc. i laid down and noticed blood splattered all over my leg. i took a pic and sent it to my bf and he freaked out. he said it looked like i got stabbed it was so bad and gory. i didn’t even notice it til i laid down and it got on my dress a bit. i cleaned it up, put a bandaid on it and had to change the bandaid again like 20 mins later. it was bleeding so severely wtf. 

so i’m scheduling a little get together with Paige & my sister to discuss my baby shower. throw around some ideas and decor stuff. my bf told me she showed him more ideas today. she’s so into it i love it. she already picked out some decorations and bought them. asking my bf is i would like them and he said absolutely. she said she didn’t wanna tell me cuz she thought it’d be a surprise for me. my bf ended up showing me to make sure i did like them and i 100% love it. she got purple and pink balloons, some shaped like sparkles and some butterfly things. she’s the best and it made me tear up that she’s so happy to do this cuz she cares me about me so much. so i texted her telling her that i’m so happy she’s excited as i am and that it means a lot that she’s helping. i told her she’s helping making this magical for me. so i asked for her schedule. her and my sister both have Thursday off next week so im gonna text her & tell her im down for Thursday to get together for a bit. 

i still have no idea fully on when to have my baby shower. i’ll ask for her input but my moms over here saying November and my bf is over here saying Dec 2nd. they both have good reasons for why it should be on the dates. it’s just harder cuz im in between holidays. so they were both making good points. idk. we’ll see what paige thinks. i kinda want dec because Nov is coming up so damn soon. when they come over ill need to put together an invite list. we’ve decided to go with paper/snail mail invites because it’s so much more personal. my bf was kinda meh about that but after he received F & J’s thank yous from the baby shower he was like me… it just felt blah and not personal. so we’re gonna do the more personal invites & paste a QR code for my baby registry that people can scan. Paige is drawing up the invites and i can’t wait to see her ideas for it so far. 🥰

baby has been kicking a lot. today i was out with my sister and i was like “oh she’s active” & she put her hand on my stomach and was able to feel a small kick. i was surprised for one because usually i can only feel her if im staying still, laying down. but we were in the car and she got to feel twice. then tonight i was seeing her kick through my stomach. funny enough i was trying to record it to show my bf and my dress is up, stomach out and i just have my phone sideways recording. my brother walks in asking if i wanted to go grab a dessert and he sees me doing that. it was funny. didn’t get her on camera yet but im determined.
