About time I posted a new update, huh? Being pregnant with a toddler is quite a bit different than what I experienced last time! I am TIRED!! :) But life is good and I'm so grateful for our what we have.
Baby M. is turning into a little jack rabbit! Libby was always very active and moved a great deal and this baby moves but much differently. He/she is very, very rough! I am constantly feeling very vigorous kicks, usually on my right side or very, very low. Doesn't seem like babe is moving around much but kicks hard enough to make up for it. :)
Like I said, I have been very tired but I remember feeling tired with Libby. Right now I'm chilling on the couch while I should be getting things done while Libby is napping, but yeah... I'm blogging instead. :) Also, I have not been too hungry lately and consequently have not been eating very well. It's a real chore to cook a full, nutritious meal and do all the clean-up when I simply am not hungry and am tired. Unfortunately I need to eat for the baby and I need to cook for Tim and Libby's sakes so I'd better get on that. You can only serve so many PPJ sandwiches before there's a mutiny. :) A grocery store run is on my agenda for today so hopefully that will get done at some point. Plus, I need to drink more water and I'm really working on that.
Weight gain is pretty good so far. Last week when I went to the mid-wife they had me at 17 lbs. so far. On my scale it was a bit different (about 14 lbs.) which is understandable due to do differences throughout the day. Yesterday I weighed again and I had lost about 3 lbs according to my scale. Probably due to my crummy appetite. Another reason to eat healthier, gotta help baby grow!!
It looks like we're going to be staying put for at least another 6 months. We're currently living in a 2 bed-room apartment/town-home and it's ok. The rent is not that cheap but it's a good location, safe (for an apartment), and the maintenance is great. I'm hoping we'll be able to move into a rent house after 6 months. Its hard to know where to pick to settle as DFW is a large area so hopefully we'll know more in a little while. Plus, I really do not want to move a couple of weeks before my due date! :)
Life has been so busy lately! Seems like every weekend we're out of town or have things going on here. My big sis graduated from Sam Houston State University on Saturday so we drove down to the parent's house for that this weekend. After she gets married though we don't have anything planned until July 4th when we're going to visit NY! Yes! We're going on a major trip four weeks before my due date. Are we crazy? Probably. :) But that's when our friends are getting married so there ya go. I think it'll be a lot of fun! Hopefully I won't be too exhausted. The good thing about having so much going on is that it will help time pass quickly.
My tummy is nice and round and I'll have to post a picture soon but until then this will have to do! Can't believe summer is here and it won't be long at all until we meet our new babe.
