I Need To Be Better At This While I Can!

Hello blogging world! Like my title says, I'd really like to get better at posting more regularly while I still have time to do it. Because I'm sure in another four months I won't be updating this often!

With that being said, there's not much to be updated on. I think the only major thing is that Matt has been laid off for the winter, or at least next couple months so now he's working down in the Cities, which sucks, but I'm thankful that he doesn't sit on his butt collecting very little unemployment while I'm pregnant and don't have a job and won't get one now since I'd only be able to work for another three and a half months. Typing that makes it actually seem like a long time to go. I tried going down to the Cities with him last week but that was a disaster and way too stressful for me and not at all fair for the dogs, so that is no more. We're much happier up here. And so is Baby.

As for the baby up date, Eye sure is moving around like crazy lately! 'They' say weeks 24-28 are the most active weeks for the baby and just three days into 24 weeks I'm finding that to be true! And now my baby is so big and strong that I can actually SEE my belly move besides just feeling it. Next Wednesday is the long annoying appointment to test for gestational diabetes. Cross your fingers I don't have it! It'll be my first appointment without Matt :( but there is no reason for him to go anyway just to wait around for me to take tests so it's okay. Though he'll miss out on a heartbeat update.

That's it! Our lives are pretty boring right now. Especially when we don't get much time together. Luckily it'll be just us two for Thanksgiving tomorrow and for Christmas. Which, depending on how job things go, may be the only days we get to spend together when he doesn't work before the baby comes so we gotta enjoy them!

Bye y'all, happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!

We Got to See Our Baby!

Yesterday Matt and I got to see our baby when I had my ultrasound! Its a little cutie, let me tell you what. It didn't want to cooperate much though with letting us see its face because it decided the most comfy place in my whole belly was facing my spine. But it was amazing to see the lil bugger. I can't wait to hold him/her :) The technician said that everything looked good and our baby is growing right on track- Eyeball is now 15 ounces! Almost a whole pound! I can't believe it. And I can't believe that it will gain hopefully at least another six pounds in the next 18 and a half weeks! Jeepers.

Then, last night Matt got to feel Eye kick for the first time :) which is pretty impressive because I only started feeling it kick two weeks ago. Eyeball sure loves its daddy.

It sounds like our life is going to be pretty crazy and hectic the rest of the wait for the baby to come, which kind of upsets me, but that's life. Matt was laid off for we don't know how long on Monday. It would be nice if it's only for a couple of weeks but nobody knows for sure. Ultimately it means less money and less time together at a time when we need it most! Hopefully things will work out and at the very least hopefully Matt will be back to his regular job when the baby comes so we can be a happy family of five instead of a four member crazy family of stressed mom, attention-needing baby, and two out of control dogs. Fingers crossed!
