Oops, I did it again!
So I've been extremely lazy about blogging. I'm going to blame it on the pregnancy and how tired I've been. Oh, and the new job! Yes, I just couldn't possibly blog. But it's a new day, and I'm waiting for Alex to come back from running errands, so I'm sneaking a few minutes to update my blog.
First and foremost, the baby is doing well. I am either 13w1d or 13w4d (depending upon which ultrasound you go by). 3 days really only matters in the mind of the pregnant woman, so I'm going with 13w4d! We have our next appointment on April 9, when we will (hopefully) hear the heartbeat. And we have our BIG ultrasound scheduled for May 12 (the day AFTER Mother's Day) when we'll find out if we have a boy or girl! We are super excited for that. I've been feeling OK. I'm basically out of the 1st Trimester, and other than being really tired still, most of the uncomfortable symptoms have weakened. I am full-on in Maternity clothes now. I still have the lovely pregnancy acne (blech!), and I'm in the "I'm so hungry I can eat your face" phase. I haven't gained any weight yet, but I know it's just a matter of time now!
We LOVE our new jobs!!! It's a shame they aren't permanent, but we are enjoying them while we can. We're hoping the project lasts until right up to when the baby comes, but we have a Plan B in case. Everyone is so nice there! All my bosses know I'm pregnant and they've been great about it. So far, none of the other workers have said anything about it yet...I think they're probably not sure if I'm pregnant or just chubby so they don't want to be rude. I know it won't be long until the whole world knows! Anyway, it is really exhausting re-joining the working force pregnant. We get up a lot earlier than we did in KC, and by the time we get home all I want to do is eat and go to bed! Besides the exhaustion, I've been dealing with back pain. It's horrendous! It starts hurting half way through the work day, and by the time dinner is over I feel like crying. The back pain, from what I understand, really won't go away until this little one joins us in the outside world...so I need to learn to live with it. Yay.
Easter was really fun this year. We went over to my Aunt's house and had lots and lots of good food. I think I had about 3 helpings of everything! Baby Brendan was there, cute as ever. I love having babies in the family again. It just breathes new life into everyone. Alex made Brendan smile some more...we got some cute pictures that I'll have to add later (they're uploaded to the desktop and I'm on the laptop).
Last night was the first night I was up (& out!) past 9 in a loooooooooong time! Alex & I had dinner with our friends Sean and Tahli at their place. We hadn't seen each other since our wedding!!! Insane. Tahli is also pregnant, due the beginning of July. She's so cute! It was awesome hanging out with them, and so fun to be around another pregnant woman so we can complain and talk strategy! They're having a boy. Sean made yummy manicotti, bruschetta, and salad. It was so delicious!!! We've made plans to hang out with them again, and plans for our kids to hang out! : ) Our first play-dates! Yay for reconnecting with old friends!
I promise I'll upload pictures later. But for now, my husband has brought me half of Season 1 of The Tudors and it's calling my name!!!
