Cranky day

I have had a tired and cranky day today. My pelvic bone is hurting, and I had a headache. So I ate some protein and drank some water and that helped some. I have just been feeling like I am doing too much around here. Not even too much. I can't do everything I did before. I am nearing the halfway mark with this pregnancy (which is crazy) and I just hurt at the end of the day. I got grumpy with Jimi today because I want him to just take over a bit more and let me rest. I was down to part-time at 22 weeks with E, so I had a lot of time to rest. And I still went into labor at 32 weeks. I really don't want that to happen again.

So this is really just a vent post. :) Baby is doing well, moving all around everyday. I am getting my 17P "keep baby cooking" shots every week. Trying not to stress about our completely in-the-air moving plans. I need to start taking some belly pics this Thursday when I hit 18 weeks. I finally have somewhat of a visible belly. We get to see the baby again at the 20 week ultrasound in 2 weeks. If we can see gender, great. If not, that's okay. Baby will be wearing girly dipes no matter what. :) We just want a healthy baby.

Ok, vent over.....for now. :)

My little thumper

I haven't blogged in awhile, but all is still good. I am almost 17 weeks. Which is just so completely crazy to me. When I saw two lines, I didn't even think this far ahead. I wasn't thinking negatively, but I just didn't think ahead. But here we are. The baby is thumping away everyday now. Mornings when I first wake up, at night as I'm drifting off, and sitting at the computer. :) It has really helped me to connect with the baby. I have felt pretty distant from the whole thing. Which is understandable considering my history.

We also found out that we are going to moving back to Portland much, much earlier than we had expected. We were told nothing would happen until February/March of next year. But retail can be crazy, so we move in a month. To say I freaked out about this is an understatement. I start my weekly progesterone shots tomorrow (for pre-term labor). I like my doctor. We are making friends. We just pulled up some ugly stuff in front of our rental house and made it pretty. And...and..... But it will all be okay. We will find a place to live, and a new doctor or midwife. And we will have time to settle in before the baby is born. Eleanor will have some time to adjust before the big sister adjustment.

I am happy to be near friends and family once the baby comes. It will be really nice to have some help nearby if we need it. Especially since Jimi will have to go back to work. With Eleanor, he was home with us from 6 weeks until at least 6 months. (His parents had been in a bad motorcycle accident and he was needed at home.) So I was a bit spoiled. :)

Plenty of exciting stuff around here, but it's all good. :)
