Seventeen weeks

Sep 05, 2006 11:32

I have only just figured out what this whole live journal thing is, thanks to my big sis :)
I am almost 17 weeks now and getting married in 2 weeks time. My (soon-to-be)hubby and myself bought a townhouse at the start of the year. We are moving into it in a month today. I'm starting to get worried cause I have no job and no one will hire me for just 4 months or so. I have been told by hubby to find a job before we move into the house. We are living very comfortably at the moment but once we are in our own place it will be different. I'm under pressure to find somewhere that will hire and be fine with me leaving in a few months. Let me tell you now, it aint gonna happen!!
Apart from my worrying, I have been very tired. Not because I'm pregnant, but because my little girl has astma and has been waking up every night for the past week and a half just coughing her little lungs out for about 3 hours, poor darling. NO amount of medication is doing anything. It upsets me because she is only small for her age and I worry that she is not strong enough to fight it sometimes. I feel guilty for not breastfeeding her and building up her immunity. She will be fine, but until the cold nights disapear, I will have sleepless nights again.

Now on another note. I'm going to the doctor today (I'm also taking daughter(. Just for a check up. I have been feeling very worried about not feeling the baby moving. With the first, I felt it moving from 14 weeks, which even the doctors say is very rare, but not impossible. This time, however, I am 17 weeks and havent felt a thing! VEry worrying. I'm sure everything is fine but I would just like to check up. My normal doc doesnt have a heart rate machine so I still havent officially heard the babys heartbeat yet. Looking forward to it today.

I was reading in the local paper about two sisters who were due two weeks apart and ended up having the babys just one day apart. After finding out my own sister is due on the 6/2/07, two weeks before me 22/2/07, I often think about this happening to us. It would be kinda cool in a way, I just hope the babys dont come on the 17/2/07 which is my sisters 21st! My sis and I have always been extremely close, more like best friends. Dont get me wrong, we do fight sometimes, were just closer than other sisters I know, so it is awesome to be pregnant along side her and be due around the same time. She knows I dont like her partner, I think she can do alot better cause she is an absolutely gorgeous person inside and shes very very pretty. I just dont like the way he treats her some of the time, but if she loves him then I have to support her. I just hope she is doing the right thing staying with him. She will be an awesome mummy, but I dont think he has the maturity or responsibility to be a father just yet. BUT I love my sis very much and I know she will be fine whatever she does, shes not stupid. I worry about her constantly (which she doesnt know about) but she would never put her or her child in a situation she cant control! I love you sis :)

I'm very much looking forward to the new arrival and I am really hoping it is another girl. I have a gut feeling it will be a boy though. I just really want my daughter to have a sister and them to grow up close just like me and my sister. We will see. I am going to find out the sex this time.

Till next time
