Acceptance

HE'S ALMOST HERE!!!!! 

Some ladies in the ward are throwing me a baby shower but not til the 25th of February! Late, I know. But thanks to my mommy we got all the things baby will really need until then. I've already packed my hospital bag and the diaper bag. Last week the doctor said I was 38 weeks, 3 cm dilated and if I didn't go into labor that week, then he should the next. So this week it is.... We decided to stick with the original name, Malosi Tre Peters. So we're anxiously waiting for him to come. It's been a long almost 39 weeks... and this pregnancy has definitely taken a toll on my body. I thought I had a lot to complain about before, but now I wish I would have taken better care of my body since the beginning. Yes, I've gained some stretch marks, okay maybe a lot. Mos gets mad when I complain about it, he says it all worth it cause of baby... I've got the best husband ever..... I should have been lotioning regularly since the beginning but I didn't think anything of it. My belly started getting big real fast. It probably didn't help that I've been craving lots and lots of sweets, and since Mos says he can't say no to me, I get what I want lol He always tells me no at first that baby has had enough sweets but then he always caves in when I give him the sad face. So the average woman gains 25-35 lbs during a pregnancy, I've gained.... dun dun dun..... 40 lbs! SHAME! hahahahaha I gained most of it around Thanksgiving... But now I just need to accept that my body will never be the same. All my clothes back in Hawaii probably won't fit and keeping it as motivation just won't work, I already know it won't lol So through the 5 stages of grief I go!

1. Denial - Check!

2. Anger- Check!

3. Bargaining- Check!

4. Depression- Check!

5. Acceptance- working on it!!!!

So until the next time I blog, wish me luck!!!! I'm going to try my hardest giving birth naturally without any medication or an epidural. We'll see how I do with that... hoping for the best. Pain and me don't get along too well.

This is the Life of the Peters!

good story!

SO...

just one of the amazing things I get to experience while being pregnant is HEARTBURN -___-

after everything I eat, mostly spicy foods or anything acidic, my throat feels like it is on fiyahhh! And being my lazy self I try not to lay down immediately after eating, but its soooo hard... I've also been having a lot of pressure on my hoochie-hoo(oh puh-lease, I'm jus being real and telling what's going on) so maybe baby has dropped a little bit? It's also really hard to sleep at night, I'm so uncomfortable that I wake up every half hour and have to reposition myself. My hips hurt when I lay on my sides for too long and I get alot of Braxton Hicks contractions when I lay on my back(pretty much false contractions that feel like my stomach is tightening, doesn't hurt but it gets uncomfortable). I miss sleeping on my stomach!

on another note.... Mos only has 4 more days of work! Although it would be nice if he could work a little bit longer for that extra money, I'm more than happy that I won't have to try falling asleep on a cold bed by myself or crash on the living room couch with the TV on waiting for him to get home at 6 in the morning :) Plus, it's almost like my body knows when he's gone and then decides to make me feel sick.. and I hate being sick when Mos isn't around to make me feel better.

So I know I mentioned that we were already set on the name [Malosi Tre Peters] for baby, but Mos is starting to be hesitant about it. His sister Tuli pointed out that a baby back in Laie was jus named Trey.. so the nickname baby Tre is kinda out. Then Mos told me of all the Malosi's he knows.. so now we're rethinking the name. I personally still like the name, I no care if his name is common back in Hawaii, cause there's only gonna be ONE Malosi Tre Peters and he gon be mo bettah than any of the other Malosi's. Plus we're not about to spend the rest of our lives in Laie, we wanna end up in Oregon possibly or maybe Alaska, but Mos really likes Oregon and from what he tells me it sounds like a nice place and I'm sure there aren't many Malosi's there.. but we'll see!!! So I guess Mos wants to think of a unique name. I kinda wanted our first kid to have a Samoan first name and then plan for unique names for the future kiddos but I guess we'll jus have to see how it goes... no matter what baby is named, we will love him all the same!!!!!!

Some possible names:

Samuelu Xavier Peters?

Emosi Malik Peters?

Rez Emosi Peters?

(i jus thought of that one ^, ima have to pass it by Mos when he gets home from work)

Oh! We booked our flights to Hawaii last week after Mos got his paycheck. $235 each for our tickets. We'll be flying Alaska Airlines to Maui and then a smaller plane form Maui to Oahu. So we're gonna shoot for taking one baggage each then paying extra for the car seat booster and possibly the playpen, unless we get that shipped before we leave. So that's 4 baggages altogether that we would have to pay $20 each. ughh. Then we have to take the stroller and car seat to the gate but they'll jus put that under. I already know this trip is gonna be a pain. Hopefully baby will make things easier and jus sleeeeeep the whole time lol poor thing. 

And Olivia was just here in Fresno this past week. She and her parents stopped by on their way home from their trip to Utah. She always talked about wanting to come visit us but she lives 3 hours away so it wasn't that easy. But she made it! And she wanted to take pics of my pregnancy.

yeah, so my face has blown up a bit...so what if I've gained a little bit more than I should? don't judge me! bahahahaha i keep telling Mos I'm gonna workout and eat right and what not after baby..........................good story! We'll jus have to wait and see ;)

Thanks Olivia for the pics!!!
