Been awhile and bored
So it's been a few months since I've posted and a lot has happened which has kept me kind of busy and/or preoccupied.
I'm 28 weeks pregnant now with my baby girl Isabella and the pregnancy has been pretty rough on me. First with the morning sickness, then with the Trisomy 18 scare, and now that she's bigger and I'm bigger I have constant pain in my ribs and hips. I guess it's because I'm only 4'10" so I don't have any room for the baby to go, so all of my organs are being pushed up into my ribcage causing pain. Unfortunately there is nothing that I can do for it except to lay down or stand up, Tylenol doesn't even do anything. She's due June 23rd and I can't wait for it to be done and over with!
I lost my job on January 9th and have been on unemployment ever since. I was so upset because I really loved my job but now as I've had more problems with my pregnancy I see it's been a blessing in disguise. I can't imagine having to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day! I make about as much on unemployment as I made working anyways so it's not so bad. We're in the middle of doing a loan modification on our house to lower our monthly payments so I hope it goes through soon. Josh has had his hours cut back to 3 days a week every other week..so 11 days off, 3 days on. He still gets paid for the days that he's not actually working, just not at the same rate of pay as he would be making if he were actually there. It's really nice to have him home to help me since I'm so big now I can barely bend over! We've done a lot of things around the house and it's nice but frustrating at the same time because we have projects going on in every room of the house and he happened to get called into work last week and this week so everything is a mess and I'm in my nesting mode. For those that don't know what nesting is, it's a phase all pregnant women go through where you want to get your "nest" ready for the arrival of your baby.
My in-laws are probably moving back to Texas because they are going to lose their house. It really pisses me off because ever since I got pregnant I knew that my baby Bella was doomed from the start when it comes to my in-laws. They already have a 9 yr old grandson and now a 1 yr old granddaughter so they already have a boy and a girl, so Bella will always be last. The in-laws bought my husband’s brother everything they needed for their baby and have not helped my husband or myself with anything at all. I understand they don't have as much money now as they did a year ago but it still sucks. Also my mother in-law was always doting on my sister-in-law when she was pregnant, and she barely asks about me when she talks with my husband. Now they are conveniently going to be moving away around the time that I give birth so my daughter may not even meet her grandparents. My in-laws are only planning on moving away for awhile and then moving back here to Oregon but my daughter will probably be around 5 before she meets her grandparents on her dad’s side, while my 1 yr old niece will have ended up having the first two years of her life with them. I know that it's silly for me to think like this, it's not like they are purposely loosing their house around the same time I'm giving birth but it makes me very angry. At least my parents are excited to be grandparents and thankfully they've agreed to buy us everything we need for her so we don't have to worry about it.
On a happier note I won the first season of House M.D. on eBay today for a total of $16.80 including shipping. They wanted $50 for it at Best Buy! I'm glad I decided to try my luck with eBay first!
Well I'm hungry and I've ranted so much I’m sure no one has even read down this far so I'll blog later.
