Not a lot going on.

Well, I really don't have a lot to say. I'm done with being pregnant. I'm pretty miserable at this point. My crotch hurts and I have Braxton Hicks all the time! They are getting a little more painful. But I still have 6 weeks left! Ugh, 6 loonnnggg weeks. Oh well. I'm just gonna take it easy.

Dan dropped a bombshell on me. Well at least it was a bombshell to me. First of all he's been working on a Mustang that was supposed to be done by June. Well, its not done. Now there are doubts that it will even be done by the time the baby is here. This really bothers me. I told him I didn't want him to take the job if he was going to be working on it when the baby was born. He already has a full time job and I don't want him gone even more working on this side job once we have a new born.

Ok, so then, Friday he asks me what I thought about him working at the body shop again, part time. Uh, what?? When do you plan to fit that in? See, we have been strapped for cash lately. Having a hard time making ends meat. But we still have a family life. That if VERY important to me. He says he doesn't want to have to worry about money anymore. That he wants to be able to go do stuff. And that he NEEDS a second job! I agree it would be nice to have some extra money but I need him around and the boys need him around. Especially when the baby is here we will need him even more.

I don't know what he plans on doing. I think that once the Mustang is done we will be OK on money. Although, he is going to use the majority of it to build the shop. But we will use some of the money to fix some things on my credit and then hopefully we can refinance and lower our house payment. Then we should be just fine. Hopefully...

It just bothers me. I'm stressed about money and now I'm stressed about not having my husband. Once again...

100th post!

I just realized this is my 100th post! Kinda crazy :)

Well, we had a good weekend in Bend. Spent some time with the family and attended a great graduation! I'm glad to be home though. We always spend too much money when we go out of town too! AAAAhhhh...

The drive was way too long on this pregnant woman. Half way there my legs started throbbing and I could NOT get comfy! When we finally got there my legs and feet were swollen. Not fun! So on the way home I spent half the trip on the back seat with the boys with my feet up on the center console. Much better that way.

The baby seemed like it was trying to claw its way out of my stomach yesterday. It was so wierd! Dan and I could feel a hand or foot sticking out and you could even see the lump. It was really cool. I never really remember that happening with the boys. This baby is VERY active. I just can't help but wonder what this little thing is. Whether it is a boy or a girl I know it will be just as beautiful as the two that we already have. There is only 59 days left! THAT I just CAN'T believe!!! I honestly don't know if I'm ready for this. Three is a lot different than two. I'm worried that I'm going to be over stressed and over tired. I am only taking a week off from my kids I babysit. I'm hoping that I can handle all of this. I'm just praying this baby is as easy as this pregnancy has been so far!

As I get closer to the delivery everything else is starting to happen too. I have to have a pre admittance interview at the hospital. This is so I don't have to wait to be admitted once I am actually in labor. I can just go up to the 3rd floor and get a room. All the paper work is already done. I also had to fill out my birth plan. Pretty basic. Who you want to cut the cord, if you want to hold the baby right away or wait for it to be cleaned. If you plan on nursing, who you want in the room when you deliver. This last one is kinda special. I've offered for a very close friend to attend the birth. She has never had a child and never experienced the birth of a baby. I am so excited that she is going to be there. It is a magical experience and I am so happy to share it with her!

Happy Monday!

UGH! Pregnancy

Ok, I'm sorry but this is going to be a small bitch session about being pregnant.
Last night I ended up with my first ever migraine. It really freaked me out. First my vision went blurry in my left eye. My head also felt very cloudy. Then my left arm went numb and tingly. I continued to feel "in a dream state" so I called the hospital (OB department) and they said it could possibly be a migraine but I really should come in to have my blood pressure checked. Normally I would have just waited it out to see if it would pass but when you're pregnant everything is so different. You have another little being to worry about.

So I called Dan (he was at the shop working on the mustang) and he came home. His parents came over to sit with the boys while we went to the hospital. They hooked up my to belly to the monitors and baby was fine. My blood pressure and sugar levels were fine too so we figured it was a migraine. Being hooked up to the monitors made me feel like I was there to have the baby. Soon enough, soon enough.

Migraines can be common in pregnancy even if you have never had them before. Joy!

So when we got home Dan and I both just wanted to go to bed. McClain had other plans though. His ear hurt and he was up until 1am crying. Poor baby. He just wanted Daddy to hold him but Daddy wanted to sleep since he had to get up and work today. So he was stuck with me and my migraine.

Another crappy thing about being pregnant this time of year is the heat. You have a little furnace in you that adds to the heat! By 8am I am totally dying of heat! I still have 2 more months of this AWFUL heat too! But really I think these last 2 months will go by just as fast as the first 8.

So here I am, burning up, tired as hell and still coping with a migraine. I LOVE being pregnant!!!!!!
