Have you ever watched the show "Extreme Weightloss?" Now there is really nothing more ironic than sitting on your couch watching someone work off and lose nearly a whole person in body fat while you munch on some potato chips, but there's also nothing more motivating. Mid way through the show I nearly snapped as I looked over to see Miles had eaten a sleeve and a half of oreos (fortunately they were single stuffed, although I was probably more thrown that they weren't double stuffed). After reading this post Miles mentioned, "I see you reduced my oreo splurge from two sleeves to a sleeve and a half." I told him I was trying to save him some of his dignity, but in reality when I called him out on eating two sleeves he told me I just couldn't see the other half that was still left, busted! He was just so enthralled by how much weight this girl had lost, he clearly wasn't paying attention to portion size. I wasn't any better, as we flicked the TV off and recapped how amazing Meredith was for losing 160 pounds, I reminded Miles I wanted a maple bar from VG's Donuts for my birthday breakfast. I turned 23 on Friday and for my birthday all I wanted was a donut from VG's in Cardiff, the most amazing pastry shop EVER. We even had our wedding cake made from there, and I plan on purchasing many more donuts and cakes from them for eternity (no, this is not a sponsored post, I just l-o-v-e love VG's). Sure enough, I awoke to the beautiful sight of a perfectly golden, generously frosted donut. It was beyond delicious. I began to wonder why I dont indulge in these more often, but then quickly remembered that muffin tops are much better suited on muffins than they are around my waist. Coincidentally my birthday fell on "national donut day," which I didn't even know existed, but I was totally okay with it. I kept the rest of my day low-key. Miles had to work and when he got off we had bean and cheese burritos and watched "Gangster Squad." We actually stayed awake for the whole film, which rarely happens, and I managed only to ask one or two questions the entire time. All in all it was a great night. And we are now going back to eating healthily, because Meredith was inspiring and I really don't want to continue to look pregnant after this baby's born!
On the homefront, we are officially baby-ready, minus all the baby laundry I've still yet to do, oh and I still need to pack my hospital bag. Now it's just a waiting game. 2 1/2 more weeks until I'm term, 5 1/2 more weeks til' my due date. The countdown is on. I'm tired, I'm achey, I'm nauseas, I am so ready! I heard the last few weeks of pregnancy are intentionally so miserable to prepare you for childbirth so you get over the fear to the point where you're just like "I don't care, just get this kid out of me!" Well Mother Nature, seems accurate enough to me. We have to get some sort of fancy high-tech ultrasound on Sunday to measure how big the baby is. Our doctor is guesstimating he'll be about 6 pounds from his measurements, but wants to be sure. You have to drink 24 oz of water an hour before the ultrasound and hold it until they're done. I have to pee after a sip of water these days so this should be interesting. Other than that, baby is looking healthy and right on schedule.
In closing, Father's Day is on Sunday and since Miles went all out for my first Mother's Day and spoiled me silly for my birthday, I've got to make sure I make Sunday special for him. I really wish he would tone down his awesomeness sometimes, so I wouldn't look so lame. What are your plans for Father's Day?
P.S. on a side note, it's Monday, which means The Bachelorette is on! Tell me Brooks shouldn't just ask for Des' hand already!! Ahh his dimples are killing me! Miles also wasn't too happy about that last comment, but I'm not taking it back, those dimples need to be acknowledged! Lastly, both my sister and I agree Ben has the "crazy eyes" and he is just so wrong for her!
And here's what a slightly awkward, heavily pregnant, 23 year old looks like at 9 am
Happy Monday!
