29 Weeks: The Hangover

Weather Anchor Mama — Wed, 15 May 2013 00:32:20 +0000

My baby is close to weighing 3 pounds and is over 15 inches long. This is the second week of my third trimester, and the end is in sight. It’s kinda bitter sweet because this could be my last pregnancy. I’ve always said I wanted two kids. But having more depends on what we end up with. If it’s a boy, I’ll feel like our family is complete. If we have a girl, then I’d probably want to try again. Notice the “I” in the last sentence. My hubby has a whole other plan in mind. Basically, he’s done. So, we’ll see how things play out. (wink wink)

How I’m Feeling: I’ve never been drunk before, and haven’t a clue about what a hangover feels like. But, I’ve been feeling like a truck ran over my head every morning. I’ve heard that lying flat on your back causes a change in heart rate and blood pressure. This could be the reason why I feel dizzy. Lying on my side does help a little.

Rather than getting up too quickly, I’ve got to move slowly from lying down, to sitting up, to standing up.

Unlike my first pregnancy, my nails have been peeling, so I’ve been upping my calcium intake.

It is the final stretch, and this baby will probably double or triple his/her weight between now and D-day. Can’t wait!

5 Things That Make Me Most Happy

Weather Anchor Mama — Mon, 13 May 2013 21:47:19 +0000

This is the 5th installment of my project, “30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me.”

Spending time with family
A quiet day with two of my favorite people never gets old. Hanging with my husband is always effortless. We don’t have to necessarily fly away to some resort to have fun. We could be doing absolutely nothing and still enjoy each other’s company. Seeing my daughter light up when I walk through the door makes me feel so happy to be a mom. Her laugh is so contagious. She gives the best hugs and kisses. I’m so excited about the growth of our family. Our time together will always be top priority in our household.

Career
I can be having the worse day ever. But, that all goes away as soon as that red light is on. When I’m on-air I feel like I’m connecting with the viewers. I look forward to bringing them information to get them through their day. It makes me happy when people tell me how much they love my work. It makes me know that I’ve also inspired them in some way.

Spa
My husband would say, “You spend an hour in there and walk out with nothing to show for it.” I completely disagree. Spa time for me is my private time. I get to relax and wash away all the built up stress. I come out a whole new person.

Writing has always been a big part of my life. Whether writing in a journal or writing a feature story for work, jotting down my thoughts has always been my release.

Exercising
I’ve always been involved in all sorts of activities growing up. Baseball, basketball, volleyball, softball, you name it! When anyone would ask about my favorite subject in school, gym was always at the top of my list. Before having kids, I’d run at least five miles a day.

What makes you happy?

Happy Mother’s Day!

Weather Anchor Mama — Mon, 13 May 2013 04:10:53 +0000

I woke up to the sound of Princess yelling, “Surprise! Happy Mother’s Day!” Her bright smiling face was just a few inches from mine. Needless to say, I was a bit startled. But, her voice was like music to my ears.

She presented me with an unsigned Mother’s Day card with a beautiful note inside. Her dad quickly rushed into the bedroom to try and stop her from revealing her gift too soon. But he was too late, and it was fine by me.

I couldn’t have imagine any other way to start Mother’s Day. Her card was absolutely beautiful, and this coupon booklet was like the icing on the cake. With the help of her teachers, she managed to put together such a thoughtful gift. I tried to put this one to use later in the day, but that didn’t work out.

My hubby made pancakes for breakfast, surprised me with a thoughtful present, and we enjoyed the rest of the day.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you hard working mommies out there!
