There isn't too much going on right now. BJ and I are trying to figure out some type if budget b/ we've had a few money problems & we need to buckle down. But there are so many bills that we have to pay right now. At least our rent and car payment come out automatically before BJ gets paid, so the money goes straight to them instead of into our account and then direct debited, so we never see it and aren't tempted to spend it. But we still have electric, car insurance, cable, internet, house phone, cell phones, storage, school, plus we make monthly payments on our computer. After all that we have to worry about food, gas, clothes (nothing fits me at this point and I need sneaker desperately, BJ needs clothes to keep him warm when he's on watch overseas), and the rest of the stuff we need for the baby. We're making it work though, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to have to get a job in the beginning of next year. We'll have to see if BJ passed his 2nd class test and if he did, when he starts getting paid for it, & how much his cost of living increase will be in January.
Nothing new really with the baby. He's still looking good and healthy. So far I've had two doctors tell me that I got a big baby in there, which really isn't making me feel too good. My latest appt on Tuesday was the same as all the others, the midwife said that the baby felt and sounded good. My next appt is on Oct 12th, the day before BJ leaves. That's when I get a GBS swab done and while she's down there I'm going to have her check to see if I'm dilated or effaced any. I just want this baby out so bad. These symptoms are becoming almost unbearable and they make everything difficult. I can barely get up by myself, or get dressed, I have no balance, my back pain is severe and I can't stand for too long b/ it hurts so bad, my chest is inflammed (inside not outside) which hurts a lot, my asthma has been acting up a little bit, my hands and feet are so swollen, heartburn sucks, I'm exhausted all the time & don't really sleep anymore, the headaches are back and lately I've been getting dizzy and light-headed, round ligamnet pain hurts really bad, & I have to pee like every 1/2 hour. I've been having some contractions, they hurt pretty bad, but it wasn't labor. I was supposed to go on a tour of the hospital last night, but that didn't happen. BJ was supposed to get done work around 4pm and come straight home, so that we could drive to Portsmouth and be there by 5pm. 4pm is when he gets home if he's lucky, & he starts work at 6:30am. But the ship sent him to do something and he ended up getting stuck there and couldn't leave, he didn't get home until 10pm. Luckily I was able to reschedule and I'm going on a tour on Oct 7th. I hope that BJ can go to the appt and tour with me, I want him to be with me for everything that he can and he wants to be there for me while he still can. It's devastating that he won't be with me when I go into labor and deliver our first child. But I know that he has to go and he's tried everything he can to stay and it isn't his fault, and that if he can fly home when I go into labor he will. But the baby is coming no matter what I want and I can't stop it, so I just have to deal with it and figure out what it is I'm going to do. I think I went on long enough.
