15 weeks-ish
See? I cant stay on top of this whole posting thing everyday like so many other wonderful people can. I am so envious. I think about it all day when I am working… about how I should say this or that, and I need to mention that, and oh, I should talk about that… but never do. Oh well, I know people that don’t update even once a month, so I guess I am doing better than them, right?
Anyway, well, I am almost 16 weeks. I will save you from the blah blah of how big the baby is, etc (like the size of a lemon??). I feel pretty damn good. The M/S is gone. Sure, I get queasy if I don’t eat every few hours, but not nauseous like before. I am starting to get energy back slowly. Oh… I started taking yoga, and OMG, how cool is that! I love it. I wish I could find more gentle classes, and not the power yoga ones. They are a little too intense. Its hard with ER’s schedule too, but I will figure something out.
Telling everyone went well. We called all of ER’s family a few days before telling mine. For his parents, we took a onsie and hung it up on the wall, snapped a picture, and photoshopped “Baby-coming July 2007” onto it. It took them a little bit, but they were thrilled.
The plan I had to tell my family fell apart. I ended up telling my sister in the bathroom of a restaurant when we stopped for breakfast. The rest of my clan was out in the lobby, and heard her screaming… so needless to say, it went unaccordingly, but was received well. Everyone expected my neice or my SIL to be preggo, not me. Whatever. They are all excited for us.
We leave Thurs to go see ER’s grandparents for a few days. Mom and Dad will be there too, so we will get to visit with all of them. JR gets to meet his newest grandparents, whom keep sending him $$, but he hasn’t met. I need to still talk to his school and let them know. We come back Fri night, Sat he has baseball tryouts. I still need to find all his gear, and hope half of it fits. Since he has only gotten taller the last two years, and his girth hasn’t changed (bean pole), I’m sure he will.
I have gotten a side accounting job, and have interviewed for another. I’m hoping to have a few side jobs lined up so I might not have to go back to work after the babe is born. Or if nothing else, perhaps by the time #3 is born. At $1100 a pop for daycare, its senseless for me to work with 2 infants. That’s my goal anyway. Since I am on ER’s insurance, the only thing I will miss out on is the life insurance, and the mega-bucks I make where I am. Plus I still get $800 a month in child support from the Ex. We can make it work, but I am afraid if I quit, we wont be buying a house anytime soon. But since a house would be double what we pay for rent right now, I’m not sure I want to buy (we rent 4 bed house for 1400). Time will tell though.
I have had 4 or 5 ultrasounds. This is insane compared to JR, when I had one at 20 weeks. We go find out if it has boy parts or girl parts on 2/9. My 20 week appt isn’t until 2/23, but we are paying to have one done 2 weeks early, because I am horribly impatient, and cant wait. I suck at being patient.
Ok, that was a lot of preggers crap. Whee… isnt this fun.
Okay, I’m gonna upload this, clean up some, and head home. I dunno what to do about dinner… maybe its just cereal again?
