22 weeks!
Well, as predicted, I've been horrible about blogging this pregnancy. Eh, whatever! So far everything has been just great though. But there are some updates, so I guess I'll get to it.
February 15th we had our 2nd trimester US and it was confirmed that we are having a BOY! Bobby is, as all men are, completely thrilled with the idea of having a son he can play sports with, watch sports with, talk about sports with...you get the idea. I am actually getting used to the idea of having a boy, and am also very excited. What a change it will be from Brielle. We still do not have a name decided on, but we are working on it and hope to have it nailed down soon! Our favs so far are Jackson (maybe spelled Jaxon so it's different and he could be nicknamed 'Jax' instead of Jack), Hayden, or Cole (which I'm not in love with but everyone else seems to be).
I've been feeling him move for a couple weeks now, and it's so fun! The kicks and rolls in the upper part of my tummy are cute. The kicks lower...not so much. Loves to bounce on the bladder. Special. Bobby has even gottent to feel him move around. He layed his head on my belly the other morning after I got home from work, and the baby kicked him right in the cheek hard...well has hard as something weighing less than a pound can kick :) Seems like he is really enjoying my pregnancy and is having all of the typical emotions. Baby must know I'm writing about him, cuz he's moving around right now!
February 25th we moved out of my childhood home of 30 years. Tried to do a short-sale and were unsuccessful. The bank was completely on board and then out of nowhere asked me to sign a promisary note for $28000...negative ghostrider. So, foreclosure it will have to be. We moved out to Gilbert and are renting a 2100 sq foot house near the 202 and Ray. It's 2-story, which is a pain in the ass for my pregnancy, but we like it and are finally getting settled in. It's 12 miles farther from work and with gas prices on the rise, it's proving to be an expensive decision. But it's $350 cheaper than my mortgage and Bobby is getting a lot more hours at work and is even toying with starting a window washing business in his parents' retirement community to give us extra cash. I thnk we'll be ok.
On that note, the thought of all these baby expenses is really weighing on my mind. I'm really trying to pick up as many extra shifts as is safe for me and the baby to handle! But, I do get exhausted a lot quicker than in my non-pregnant state and find that I just can't handle the go-go-go like I used to. With that being said, I am orienting to team leading at work in the next couple weeks. Yeah, not going to make work any easier...but it's a challenge I have been avoiding for about 3 years now and have decided that it's time to face my fear and just do it. Bobby thinks that I am an ideal candidate for the TL position because of my love of being 'in control'. Eh...we'll see. Trying not to think of it as 'controlling' as much as 'guiding'.
Ah yes, and more news. My brother's girlfriend, Brandi, is expecting as well. This was a total shocker for everyone involved. They had only been dating a couple months, but I guess they've known eachother for a while since she dated one of Greg's friends prior to them hooking up. She is due in early October. I will have to admit that I am pretty excited about becoming an aunt. Just didn't think it would be like this! Hopefully everything works out for them, and if not, it's a peaceful situation and we can still be involved in the baby's life. More updates to come...
As soon as I can find my camera/computer transfer cable I will post some belly shots and US pics of the baby.
