Well, I made it to the half way mark! It has gone by pretty fast, but not fast enough. I'm just not a good pregnant person..ready to meet the new baby in our lives. Not yet though of course. ;) I am 21 Weeks tomorrow, so tomorrow I can even say I'm over the half way mark. It's going ok..work is very stressful right now. I am at a point where it's beyond stressful, I'm working at night, weekends etc. Mike gets frustrated every now and then because he has to do a lot of work with chores, Dylan, etc becuase I'm having to work so much. I think the frustrating part is doing all of the work as manager, but not actually having the title or the pay. I plan on talking to my boss in November, my 2 year mark to see what the plan is for me. I really do feel I should be compensated for the work and as much as they are asking of me lately. We will see what happens. I get freaked out every now and then thinking about paying for 2 daycares, but I don't have to really stress about that until April/beginning of May, which is still 7 or 8 months away..so, for now I would like to focus on the baby and getting ready for him. So far, he is healthy and growing as he should. I feel SO much bigger than the first round. When I look back at pics from my first blog, I was this big at like 30 weeks! I have heard you do get bigger sooner with the second, but geez..it's ridiculous. I have my next apt tomorrow. It's just a standard apt though where I get to hear the heartbeat and make sure all is going ok. I always get excited to hear his heartbeat. But, I can start to feel him kicking. It feels like gas bubbles, but I do feel it when it's bed time. We are debating names. We know the middle name"John", but we aren't sure of a first yet. We have a few in mind, I wanted something a little different...but I think we want to be sure what we want before we tell everyone. I just want to say this is it and not have people say they don't like it or whatever. So, we are still debating and will hopefully have a name for him soon. :) As far as the nursery, we are going to keep Dylan in his room and turn the guest room into the new nursery. We will get a new crib since Dylan's is not that great and was pretty cheap the first round. I'm woking on getting both rooms set up..I think we might go with more of a sports theme in new babies room instead of cars like Dylans. I don't know. If we get an apartment and sell the house soon, we won't have to worry about it.
The house goes back on the market in a few weeks. I'm read, we have redone the bathroom floors, repainted and touched up quite a bit. I hope it's easier to sell this round. I'm just ready to be done with this entire process and this neighborhood. Not that it's that bad, but just so tired of being in the car for 3 hours a day when we could spend that with Dylan.
Anyways, all is going great here. Just a bit overwhelmed at the moment, especially not having much help. We will be great though. I know it. :) Everything always works out.
Good night new baby Harper and everyone.
Love,
Jill
