Get It Right

So I would first like to apologize for not posting in the last couple weeks. Been kinda hectic, but now things are starting to look up. For once I actually feel relieved, and not so stressed. I wont go into what has really been going on, but like I always try to keep in mind, "Everything happens for a reason"

Today I am 29 weeks along, and my baby boy is getting so big. With him getting bigger and bigger I can now feel him so much more, and he even is starting to wake me up in the middle of the night with his movements. He is such a strong and active boy, and I just love sitting still and watching my belly move. It is such an amazing experience. Ya my pregnancy hasn't been the easiest thing, and there have been a few problems through out it, but I will say that this is truly a blessing to me. I am growing a beautiful baby boy inside of me, and he is my son. It's so crazy!

I went and stayed with my parents for the weekend, and my mother and I decided to play around and do a little photoshoot out in their yard. My mom did a good job taking pics, and I did a bit of editing with them. Last night I went in to my parents room and laid down in the middle between the two of them and hung out and talked with them, and they were both able to watch my belly move and feel little man! It was so cool, and they both loved it too.

So I have about 11 weeks to go, I am hoping more like 9 or 10, haha. I am getting tired again like in the begining, and I have horrible braxton hicks, so much pressure, and shortness of breath, and my increased appetite sucks too. I feel so huge! And i'm not even done growing yet, and i'm just gonna be getting bigger and bigger from here on till he decides to grace us with his presence.

This coming Friday the 27th I will be having my 3D/4D ultrasound done, and I am so very excited to see my baby again, and get better pictures of him, and I even get a DVD this time! So I most likely wont update until Friday night. So with this I leave you all. Hope everyone had a good weekend, and will have a good week! Much love! <3

Keith Turns 4! :D

So the last few days I have felt like a chicken running around with its head head cut off. There was so much to get done before my friend Jaime's sons birthday party. Had to do lots of grocery shopping, decorating, and preparing of food. This year Keith turned 4, and he is such a ham! He wanted to do a pirate theme this year. So we had lots of pirate stuff around, and little pirates running around. Here is a picture of little mister pirate Keith.

Got up this morning and went to Walmart to finish getting groceries, and to also get Keith a little present :) I ended up going with some clothes since he is getting taller, and growing out of his clothes. I got him a Toy Story 3 shirt, and tank shirt, and also a pair of shorts, and a Toy Story pajama set (which he wore to bed tonight :) hehe) He is such a cutie! :)

The party was fun, and the food was good. There was a bounce house, and the kids loved that. They ended up going in the pool too. We had hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, macaroni salad, and potato salad. There was a fruit tray, veggie tray, olive & pickle tray, and chips, oh and meatballs! Lots of food making me a very happy preggo! haha :) The cake was amazing, it was a pirate ship, and so adorable! He loved his cake. Publix is awesome ;)

But from all the cleaning, and running around the last few days my feet are so sore, and my body aches, and my darling son is aggravated with me, haha. He has just wanted mommy to sit down and relax and spend some time with him. I will sit on the couch a couple times during the day, and just rub my belly for a few min, and he just goes crazy, and moves all over. I am already so in love with my little boy, and cannot wait till he is here, and I can just hold him in my arms.

Tomorrow we are going to Adventure Island again for Mother's Day, and its gonna be another long day on my feet, but so worth it. I only have a little more time that I can spend at the park before I get too big. Plus it helps me get a little tan before I am to busy being mommy all the time. Which don't get me wrong, I will not mind! So I am gonna finally get some rest, and head to bed early tonight. I am exhausted from the last few days, but I will say they were fun :)

So goodnight my friends, sleep well. And I will update tomorrow. Toodles! :)

Happy Birthday Chester!

On May 5, 2007 I was driving home from a friends house, and it was very late and I was pretty tired. Driving down a dark, back road to my house I pulled onto a street and there sat a tiny little kitten. I stopped and looked around to see if there was a mommy cat around or other kittens, but that kitten just sat there, and since I am a huge cat person I decided to get out, and try and catch him. To make a long story short though, I spent 4 days bringing him food and earning his trust. I finally was able to catch him, and I took him home with me. At first he freaked out with me holding him, but then I just sat there and held him close, and loved him, and as i just cuddled him I could feel him just instantly calm down, and his heart rate slow down a bit. I brought him to my parents house where I was living at the time, and my mother instantly fell in love. I grew to love him more and more, and he was my little baby. He became a huge cuddle buddy and was the sweetest little guy ever! Chester was the most amazing cat ever, and he was so much more than a cat to me. He took car rides, he played fetch, he knew how to beg for food, and he ended up being a good ole 20 lb cat. I had him for so long, and he was always with me. In December of 2010 I was bring Chester home and he kinda freaked out with what was going on outside, I never put him in a carrier. He ended up falling out of my arms, and took off running into the woods. I about died, knowing he was running away from me. We searched and searched for him for days, weeks, and nothing every came up. We thought positive and kept telling ourselves, and continue to say that he ended up finding a good home, and is safe inside somewhere enjoying his life still. But not a day goes by that I miss him, and wish he was still with me. I miss my snuggle buddy, and my shadow. He was the best little guy I could ever have, and I will always love him, and miss him, and never, ever forget him! So Happy Birthday Chester, hope you are having a good birthday where ever you are, and know that Mommy loves and misses you so very much!

Adventure Island! :)

So today I am 26 weeks pregnant with my son! Only 13 weeks to go! Oh I am getting so excited!! I just want him here with me already, but he needs some more time to cook in the oven. Plus I need more time to save money, and get everything together more. I don't wanna bring him into a crazy situation, in an already crazy world. Last night he was kicking and punching like crazy, probably upset with how much I was on my feet, lol. But then we laid down and relaxed and I iced my legs, and just rubbed my belly for a while and talked with him. I had killer heartburn again though, I will be happy when that is over! But I love my baby boy so much already, and all the bad parts of my pregnancy are, and will totally be worth it in the end! :)

Well today, my friend Jaime and I went and took the kids to Adventure Island, and even though my legs and feet hurt, I wanted to go to have some fun in the sun, and be with good company. My feet now hurt twice as much, and I got a bit toasty today. But it was a lot of fun. I love water parks, and slides :) I am even more tired today, and really in need of a good foot massage! But for now I will just post some pictures from today, i didn't take my phone in the park, because it is to awesome of a phone to get risk getting wet. So here are some pictures of the kiddos after the park, and also my sunburn. :)

So with that I leave you. Time for me to prop my feet up, enjoy some dinner, and relax. But first I will post a quote, since I love quotes so much :) Enjoy! <3

March of Dimes for Babies!

So today at 7:30 am I got up and got ready and went down to New Port Richey, FL, to Sims Park, for the March of Dimes walk. It was a 3.5 mile walk around that area, and we were walking with Publix. I went with my two friends Mike and Jaime, and their two kids Keith and Katelyn. The walk started at 9 am, and we got to the finish line about 11 am. I will say though that I am very happy that it was a beautiful morning out, and wasn't too hot out. There were a lot of people, lots of kids, and even doggies :) We got halfway through and I had to stop to use the bathroom, which I was shocked I even made it that far, and was able to hold it. After I went potty, we finished the walk and oh my goodness, I was dying by the end. But I am disappointed how more than half the people there stopped halfway and were done. My feet were killing me, and my hip and lower back on my left side started to hurt very badly. I ended up in the back a bit, and felt like such a grandma. But for being 6 1/2 months pregnant I think I did pretty darn good. We got to the finish line and I was so excited because they were to have hot dogs and stuff, and by the time we sat down and relaxed for a little bit, they were out, and that made me one upset, hurting, hungry preggo lol. But I know that next year I will be doing the walk again, and I will be going with my son. It was a good experience and though I ache so bad now, it was worth it all. So now I leave you so that I may continue to ice my legs and watch the rest of my movie. So have a goodnight everyone. God Bless! <3

Why not I?

So I have been reading friends blogs for months now, and enjoying reading their blogs, and seeing all their pics, and just have fun reading their stories. So I was sitting here thinking, hey why not make one too? I love seeing them so much, I am sure I would have just as much fun making my own, and sharing my stories and photos as well. So here I am. :)

So that's me, names Malinda Nicole. I am 22 years old, born and raised in Tampa, Florida. I am a Mormon, though I really don't go to church much more, I still am a firm believer in Christ, and the Christian religion. I am currently a single mother and expecting my first child August 7 of this year! I am having a boy, and I am both excited and scared to death. I am going to be 26 weeks along tomorrow, and every day I am closer and closer to seeing my beautiful baby boy. I cannot wait to hold him in my arms, and see him. I love knowing that I will soon be a mother, it is an amazing responsibility to have, though i know it will be a hard one as well, it will all be worth it. Here is a recent ultrasound picture of him :)

I am going to finish this first post with a quote that I found and like a lot because it is so true, and is how my life kinda is right now. I hope you enjoy it as well. Hope everyone has a great rest of the day. Goodnight everyone :)
