Let me begin by saying I had a wonderful Memorial Weekend with my
Husband, Family, and Friends.
It was so nice to just relax and actually have three whole days to spend with my hubby!
While most of the weekend was fun and full of relaxation, we also had
some serious matter to get down to.
With my third trimester around the corner, I am starting to hit panic mode.
I feel as though I still have so much to do and I suddenly realized that time is running out!
Today was a good day back to work, but also a really sad day.
I am so bummed to say that I gave my notice and as of the first weekend in July, I will be moving back to Vancouver.
I have been so fortunate to work at such an amazing office with the best group of girls possible and some pretty awesome bosses. I am truly going to miss them and quite honestly I am a bit terrifed to not be working come July.
Since Randy is working over 3 hours away right now, I couldn't imagine going into labor up here all by myself. Moving home will allow me to have the support of my family
and close friends in case of an emergency.
Furthermore, they will be able to help get me by if needed until Randy is able to get to my side.
While I am feeling a mix of emotions right now {excitement, sadness, anxiety, etc.}, I am trusting in God and knowing that all things will happen according to his plans.
Here is to change.. big change..
(Sorry, just got out of the shower..)
How far
along? 26 Weeks 4 days
Total
weight gain: I feel like I could seriously be close to 20lbs at
this point. The last few days I have been so swollen and retaining a lot of
water, ugh..
Maternity
clothes? Yes! Just bought a bunch this last weekend so I have a little more
variety!
Stretch
marks? Nope.. I even had Randy do a double take of my stomach to make sure.
Best
moment this week: Hanging out with my husband, friends, and family..
and Tegan kicking Randy in the head! ;)
Miss
Anything? My body.. I feel like I am morphing into something unrecognizable.
Movement: All the
time. I actually hate when she is “quiet” now.
Food
cravings: Still no cravings.
Anything
making you queasy or sick: Nothing in specific.
Gender: Baby
Girl
Labor
Signs: None.
Symptoms: I have
been definitely experiencing back pain, my tailbone still hurts like crazy, and
the swelling is out of control.
Belly
Button in or out? Innie
Wedding
rings on or off? On still
Happy or
Moody most of the time: Mixed
Looking
forward to: My first baby shower in a couple of weeks!
I love reading your blogs! So, why is Randy working 3 hours away and for how long at time? Will it continue once your baby girl is born? (Sorry 20 q's!)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to be separated from your spouse, especially during a pregnancy. I'm glad you're able to stay with family during this special time. You look fantastic! I bet you won't get a stretch mark. And your weight gain is perfect! (But, it's admirable that you're staying healthy and keeping it in check because some women go crazy and then regret it!!) Post more belly pictures!
Aw thanks Rox!!
ReplyDeleteSo Randy is in the Carpenter's Union and he has to travel were there is work. He was on a job up North, but the job had a lot of issues and safety was always a concern. He was offered a better job with a better company and with the baby coming, I told him it would be stupid for him to pass it up. With me moving back down to Vancouver, I will actually be closer to him. He is currently working in Oregon, so it will only be an hour commute for him and we would see each other every day. We are hoping that once this job ends, he will find something closer to home so he doesn't have to do the commute every day as that gets really draining. :)
I am glad that I will be able to have my family close by too as I was really nervous about going into labor up here all by myself! and thank you for the boost of confidence! You are too sweet and always make me feel better about myself!
I will be posting more pictures with baby showers coming up and maternity shoots, etc!
