Moving
Sometimes I like to just look down at my belly and wait for sudden movements and bulges. I imagine I can see through my skin and see what she's doing in there. I dunno, I find it cute and amusing.
Something new...I think I'm having Braxton Hicks contractions. I never had them with Jonah. I kept thinking I was getting stress-related stomach aches. Then again, my actual stomach isn't where it used to be. So I started asking people, and this might be it. It's woken me up at night a couple times. We'll see, I see my OB for the last time on Friday.
Speaking of which....2 days to moving day!!!! Josh and I still have a ton of packing to do, but hopefully it'll get done. I've just been worrying about myself with stress.doing too much. So I'm excited for it all to be over for sure. We still do not have a place yet, so we're living with my parents temporarily. It'll be easier to look for a place when we're in the area we're moving to, and we don't have work or packing to do. Just one week of looking for a place all we want. then Josh starts his new job and we'll either have a place lined up, or I'll be continuing the search alone.
Either way, I'm happy this time has come, struggles and all. I've missed my parents, my Brother, my Aunt and Uncle, my best friend. And I'm happy baby #2 gets to grow up with family around. I get so depressed every year around Winter time. Having to deal with snow storms to drive through just to get home for Christmas. And almost every year, something bad happens to our car - accident or otherwise, and we worry we might not make it. Finances are super hard. I have no one close to me that's close by to turn to for help or just to hang out. I've really been missing that. Whenever we visit home, I never want to come back to Madison.
I dunno. It's been a very rough week, but I' happy the fruits of our labor are just around the corner. :)
