Growing Pains
This week has been kept me crazy busy, emotional and physically. This past weekend I had gone to the state fair here with two of my friends and I ate AMAZING deep fried food. Deep friend candy bars, chocolate covered fruit, alligator, Australian fried potatoes, pickle on a stick!! Just thinking of what I ate is making me hungry again... haha. I have been looking forward to our state fair since I found out I was pregnant because food has never sounded so good before in my life!! Though lately I don't enjoy food as much as I used to as eating now feels more of a chore rather than an enjoyment ( I'm not complaining by any means - just eating more is starting to feel like natural breathing... ) I had a great time though at the fair and walked most of the food off that I had eaten - I believe I was walking for about 5 hours straight.
While at the fair I had received a message from my oh sooo great ex who cheated on me with two other women .. at the same time ... and I actually was a little thrown off by it but I haven't talked to him by choice in a long time that it actually didn't bother me like I know it used to. Probably because I have greater worries and stresses in my life that I feel like my past was small potatoes compared to what my future holds. Not that what my future is going to be will be horrible at all just more complicated which I'm actually excited for.
Sunday's are normally my cleaning day where I need to get everything in order for the new week... did that happen this past Sunday... NOPE! I've been tired more lately which is understandable but instead of doing laundry cleaning dishes etc. I decided that sleeping until 11 am and watching movies all day was what needed to be done. Monday was the start of a new work week. My work life seems to blur together from day to day and week to week. Although I did have an Interview on Tuesday for the same company I work for just in a different location. Closer to where I'll be moving to in the month of September, which is literally right around the corner. I will find out this upcoming week if I will receive an offer or not, fingers crossed because I really need a job!! But then it comes down to who really wants to hire a pregnant lady when she will be leaving in 3 months anyways and probably won't return?? That is my greatest fear, not having a job when I move... Not a whole lot I can do but just is frustrating and would cause a lot more problems then I really need in my life.
This Thursday one of my friends dropped off her crib for me! I'm pretty excited that slowly the puzzle pieces are starting to fit into place. I actually have a lot of items so far! Not all the major items yet but slowly - I think right now my "stock" contains of a crib, a jumper, play matts ( for tummy time), a very nice umbrella stroller, a car seat winter cover ( I'm due in December and here in MN it will be colder than cold ), I also have a bunch of clothes so far .. as my mother puts it this child will not be hurting for clothes. I have so many friends and family that are supporting me currently and I know they will be there for the long haul. More so emotionally than financially - but I will say I'm grateful for the friends that have had boys and want to get rid of their used items as well as my sister in-laws for being garage sale junkies and getting great deals on items!
My stomach has what I like to call growing pains. The best way to describe what it feels like is like this. Say your sprinting for a while and you get a running cramp... this is what my stomach has been feeling like today. I know this little boy is growing but it’s starting to hurt especially when he decides he wants to kick me continuously in the same spot where it already hurts! Oh well - I know he is healthy and growing and that is all that should matter! Here is a photo from before I was pregnant to me currently! Which looking at my pregnant picture I'm not all that big but comparing myself now to where I used to be ... it’s crazy.. and I'm only half way they’re pretty much!
<------- Before I was Pregnant & 22 Weeks ------->
This weekend will be pretty laid back and I have Monday off due to a Holiday! !! It couldn't get any better than that!! Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend!!
