I'm feeling pregnant

I was wondering when it was going to happen - the whole feeling pregnant thing. I mean I've been feeling little kicks and movement and all that jazz, but my body still felt good. I wasn't really struggling to get off the couch, I could move alright, I wasn't swelling.

Well, I made it to 26 weeks. And now I'm feeling it. Big time.

My ankles ballooned up. Seriously, I have no ankles anymore. Just little rolls of swollen flesh. I'm hot, I'm tired, and I'm... Well, pregnant. I started that part time job yesterday and let me just say - I felt pregnant trying to get down to the bottom file cabinets and back up again. I don't know how well it's gonna work - but damnit I'm trying.

Work's not hard at all, and I actually like some of it, but I do feel a little like I just kinda got thrown to the wolves and I'm not 100% sure of what I'm doing. Part of it is that it's just SO easy that I feel like I HAVE to be doing something wrong. The other part is, I just like more direction I guess. I mean the attorney I'm working for even said he's not a big direction giver, so I'm like, oh... I dunno, it's a confidence issue. I often feel like I'm messing crap up until I get used to it. I'm sure if I mess things up too bad they'll let me know or fire me, I just hate it looking bad on my friend since she got me hired there.

There's not a whole lot else going on. Getting ready for Cayden's birthday, packing stuff up to move. It's kind of funny that we're moving though, because I think our neighbors might also be moving. They put a bunch of stuff out by the trash today, so I'm thinking they're packing up and shipping out. Oh well, I can only hope that wherever they're going they keep an eye on their kid!

Anyway, if you guys could continue to vote for Cayden, again, I'd really appreciate it. The contest ends Thursday so... Vote often? :-)

I've been voting for Cayden a couple times a day. Fingers crossed for you!
Take it easy -- that pregnant feeling is rough! I didn't have the swelling so much until after I had Stella -- what a kicker, uhh?
Hoping you find time to rest and relax!!!
Can't believe it's been 26 weeks already -- life moves too, too fast and seems to be picking up the pace these days!

Our Rules

I found listing the rules work out well, so everyone knows what's expected of them (and me!)

1.) This blog isn't going to run on a schedule. My goal is to post once a week to keep up with pregnancy stuff, but if I get busy, have nothing to say, ect. it just won't happen. However, if I suffer from pregnancy insomnia like I did with my first, you may get more than you bargained for :-) I will at least keep you updated on the "majors"

2.) Feel free to discuss YOUR family, kids, god children, pets, ect. However, I don't want to discuss the other blog here. Any posts about it - good or bad - will be deleted. I will let you know when/if I plan on opening it back up.

3.) Be respectful. The last blog I was pretty open about people having their opinions, but I tend to be a little more sensitive in this area because it's my real life. You can feel free to share if you're been through/going through a similar situation, but if you're going to say something negative please don't post at all. Negative comments will not be addressed, just deleted.
