Recaps

My have I neglected my blogger.
Just been dealing with hormonal issues.
But a little recap on what's been going on in the life of SMOS.

1. Mini fights with the hubby. Distance is really hard, been dealing with it for 3 years now, and sometimes, it just makes me really vulnerable. I suppose with a little help from my pregnancy, I found myself lost in negative thoughts. I pulled away from him, when really I should have been clinging on tighter. I had doubts of our future, and I really chose to hold my tongue for a few days, just knowing whatever was bothering me would really rub him the wrong way. But in actuality, I had to voice my concerns. Why? Because I love him so damn much. We talked it out. He said his piece, I've said mine. Now, that book has been closed. I mean, nothing even really happened yet. I'm just worrying based on issues that happened between my parents. I love my husband to death. I'm so anxious for him to come home. So anxious for our baby's arrival. Ahhh.. time really does fly by.

2. On top of distance. I've been really trying to brainstorm cute ideas on keeping my husband connected with baby and I. Yes, he'll be home for her birth, and thankfully he'll receive recruiter's assistance to stay an extra 30 days. But then, he'll head back to Japan and it'll be back to skype for us, until orders are received. I'm so happy that he enjoyed my Daddy's Day gift (slideshow with photos of my belly growing week by week) -- Now I have to think of a whole new bunch of ways to keep us all connected. It's going to be fun! I can't wait.

3. Baby Shower Planning (: -- Okay, I know baby showers are supposed to be a surprise for the expecting mommies right? Though it was my mother's idea, I am actually in the process of brainstorming party favors, food, well, EVERYTHING! Hahaha. I've recently told one of my good friends about my pregnancy, and her excitement just made me cry. I can only imagine how wonderful this shower/party will be. Like my wedding, I was surrounded by so many people I love. Those same people will be at our shower. Richie will be home. It will be wonderful!

4. House Cleaning - This is seriously a never ending process. I'm not sure if I'm a lazy preggo, but I seriously have NO energy to do anything. I'll clean for an hour then find myself sleepy. I compare myself with this woman I follow on instagram, who is about ready to POP, but she has been NON-STOP decorating her new house, lawn-mowing, just an on the go woman! Worst, she posted photos of her excessively swollen feet! I don't know where her energy comes from. I seriously need some of that!

Alright, that's about all I have for now.
