Seriously. I am JONESING for some facebook. I've been crazy busy today (or rather crazy tired - yes, too tired to even check facebook on my phone.) And I haven't had access to the computer either... And now that I do? Facebook is not loading for me. Unacceptable.
OK, it just popped up. All is better now.
Anyway, just a quick update on how things are going...
We're still not completely moved, nor are we completely unpacked. I do feel like it's never ever going to get done. Really it's my fault - I've been so lazy after the move that it's no shocker that nothings gotten done. I have promised myself that I will unpack the boxes in our room tomorrow. I have a goal of eventually going through our dresses and reorganizing stuff, cuz we've run out of room and it's hard to find anything. But that's more of a long term goal, lol.
My job is good - and I like it a lot actually. It gets boring sometimes, I do hate, hate, HATE filing. HATEEEEEEE. But lately I've been so busy with other things that I haven't gotten around to filing, which makes me happy because I haven't done it, but sucks because just because I haven't gotten to it doesn't mean it's gone away - the pile has only gotten bigger.
I love the lawyers I work for. They're opposites - one is louder and more outspoken and known to throw curse words around in a hilarious fashion. The other is more serious, but not in a stick-up-the-butt kind of way. They're just really nice guys, the both of them, and I tend to laugh a lot while there. Plus some of the cases they take on are interesting to hear about. Like a soap opera.
Cayden has exploded in growth lately. I swear I look at him and every day he looks like he's grown. He's talking like crazy, into EVERYTHING, but has also gotten more helpful - he LOVES to throw things away for me. It really happened overnight and is just.... Crazy. Can't believe the kid will be 2 at the end of the month. What happened to my baby? Still, he's so much fun... Well, most of the time. Sometimes to be honest I want to strangle him... Like when he came into the kitchen, asked for cheese, took a bite of it, and then spit it all over the floor, left the room, brought back in his juice, and dumped his juice all over the spit up cheese.
Yeah. Not so cute then.
Baby's doing good, I guess. I keep waiting to feel pregnant, and I don't really. I did for a week or two, but it went away and I'm back to feeling normal. Sometimes I have some back pain, but my swelling went away, and I'm good. I did get hit today with some crazy tiredness - and I officially entered my 3rd trimester today (28 weeks - some books tell you it's 27 weeks, others say 28. I went with 28 just to be sure, ha ha.)Oh, and I'm at that wonderful stage where I can't stop eating. I am hungry All. The. Time.
12 weeks left. How crazy is that? It seems like in pregnancy you are often waiting for 12 weeks - I know I was counting the days till I hit 12 weeks, since that's when your chances of miscarriage decrease dramatically. Then when you're 12 weeks, you count down till you're 24 weeks - because that's the age of viability if God forbid something should happen. Now I've got 12 weeks until the baby is due - and honestly probably less than that, since I don't know how long my doctor will let me go. Crazzzzzziness. I still don't have a baby name. Which is even crazier. This kid is going to come out and be baby no name, because I don't think anything is going to tickle my fancy.
I do hate that I'm now at the point where I go every 2 weeks for doctors appointments. With Cayden I NEVER hit this point - my doctor who I now know was a jackass never had me do it. I wanted it so bad, but now that I have a kid to bring with me, and keep entertained while there... Yeah, not a big fan. Plus Friday is my one hour gluclose test, so I have a feeling I'll be there for a loooong time. I think I may leave my brother in charge of Cayden, because it's going to take awhile.
I think that's it. I'm about to go dip the buckeyes I made :-) If you're asking what a buckeye is - it's our state nut, but they make candy buckeyes which is basically peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate and they look like buckeyes but taste MUCH better :-)
I LOVE buckeyes! My husband is an Ohio State alum and grew up in Ohio. Love those!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you're 28 weeks already! Time flies! You're not alone on names -- Stella went a day without a name!
Enjoy your last 12 weeks -- I know that I was a terrible pregnant woman. Next time, I hope to do better! haha.
And those boxes? They'll be there tomorrow and the next day...HOpe you're finding time to relax!
I can send you a recipe if you want to try to make them. They're super easy to do, just a little time consuming. They're very tasty though :-)
ReplyDeleteWith Cayden I was a HORRIBLE pregnant woman too. I was actually just talking to a friend about this today and she was joking about how at 20 weeks I was like "OK, I'm done!" only it wasn't really a joke because at 20 weeks with him? I was done. This time around, I honestly forget I'm pregnant a lot. I don't know if it's just because I have other things to do, or what. But it's been a lot better - other than the horrible start where I thought I might be miscarrying.
I would LOVE the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to ask you, too -- after your first c-section, did your doctor give you a timeframe as far as when you could get pregnant again? I forgot to ask at my 6-week appt. We are thinking of trying again next summer. I'm gonna be 34 in December so I'm no spring chicken...don't want to waste time! haha.
I see my dr. again in January so figure I'll ask then, too.
I wasn't told anything - my first doctor kind of sucked really bad and just wasn't good. However, from reading, it seems that most doctors recommend 12-18 months or 12-24 months - I have read a few sources saying 6 months, but the majority DO seem to say that at the very least 12 months.
ReplyDeleteIt also depends on whether or not you want to try for a VBAC - most doctors are hesitant to do VBACS (especially if you had what they call a "trail of labor" the first time. They usually call it "failure to progress" and say your body just doesn't know what it's doing and can't give birth - which I for one think is bogus. Sometimes you just aren't able to give birth vaginall with one baby because of the position that baby was in. But anyway, that's another rant for another time, lol) If you're super close between births, it's another reason for them to refuse VBAC. So if you're OK with reupping for another c-section, I'd say they'd probably recommend a year.
