Stupid nightmares

So I've reached the stage in pregnancy where I'm getting enough weight 'in front' to make me restless, wake up several times in the night and sometimes gives me pain. AS IF that wasn't bad enough . . . recently I've had a few nightmares that make me want to curl up and cry and won't let me go back to sleep. You know what I mean, they just stay on your brain, even when you're trying to think of happy things. So you end up waking up and tossing and turning for half an hour or so attempting to go back to sleep but you end up just thinking about your nightmare that whole entire time. Ya, that's when you need to get up and just start your day. So that's what I did.

Anyway, so I'm normally tired from lack of sleep these days but it doesn't help when I have nightmares that make me feel as if I'm an inch tall, if that. Not like I'm saying that was what my nightmare was about, ha ha, just that those who I really care about making me an outcast kinda thing, which is actually how I feel about things sometimes. Funny how things in reality can get twisted and be made worse in nightmares than they really are. Actually not so funny, but you get the picture.

Skin Care

Everyone has heard that they need to take care of their skin, it's common knowledge, but that doesn't mean everyone does it or that we do it all the time. Well I've taken care of my skin off and on over the years, making sure I put sunscreen on, cleaning and moisturizing my face and trying to get rid of stupid annoying imperfections.

Recently after researching about a lot of stuff on line and what would be best for MY skin, I bought only one product, I already had my moisturizer and cleanser and found the rest of the stuff I would need to help with my face in my kitchen. YES, my kitchen!!! 

Simple products like sugar, milk, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, oatmeal, yogurt and avocado and a combination of a few can be turned into a scrub, mask or some other treatment to help your face. The results are AMAZING!! I started a week ago and love the look and feeling that I get after it's done. I even put the sugar mixture scrub on my legs and arms and Jason notices the difference too. Lol. So I'm hoping that maybe after a month or two of taking care of my skin daily and sticking to it, I'll start to look better and maybe keep myself looking young and beautiful for life. :)

Update on my breaking news

So if you read my last post and could read Spanish or translated it online, you know that I am pregnant again for the third time. 

YAY!!! 

I am so incredibly blessed to have this baby. I'm feeling much better too . . . sometimes. lol. I only got sick once so far but having to eat is still a pain as I don't feel like eating most the time and I had my first night of this pregnancy heartburn. Ugh. But with every day and every week that I'm still pregnant and well, I count my lucky stars and become more and more excited. 

I'm now almost 15 weeks which means in another 5 weeks or so I will find out if Alyx is having a sister or a brother. :) 

I am hoping for a girl, but if it's a boy I will be extremely happy too, as long as they're healthy and well. But I do really want a daughter. ;) I already have her name picked out. Jason and I kinda struggle with boy names that we love but we have a few good names picked out and that we're closing in on. 

I also am teaching Alyx and trying to get him to say baby. I talk to him often about how he's going to be a big brother and ask him if he knows if he's having a sister or a brother. One of my favorite things about being pregnant again is how Jason wraps his arms around me and rests his hand on where our baby is. It's so sweet and I think our baby likes it too. It always seems to relax and soothe me as well. Occasionally he will try to listen for the heartbeat to which I'll laugh or he will kiss my tummy. I love my husband so much! :) He is so wonderful to me and a fantastic father to our son Alyx. I can't believe how I ended up with such a wonderful and growing family. :)
