Hormones are fun!

28, almost 29 weeks pregnant and I think the hormones are raging. I've been especially emotional today. Emotional, irritable, and tired.

Did I mention I'm irritable? I've got so much on my "To Do" list and today I was just too pooped to deal. I've been running around like crazy this week, and still trying to catch up on the laundry I was all caught up on before the dryer broke and the kids got sick with a lovely puking stomach virus. Fun fun!

Anyway, the baby is really active lately. Lots of kicking and moving. Maybe because he/she is running out of room! (It would help to not lay in my belly sideways!)

I went in for an OB appt last Friday. Glucose test came out perfect, blood pressure looks good, iron was a bit low, which might explain the lack of energy. Or it could be the 5 kids. Who knows?

I mailed off a contract for a Doula today. I drove up to meet her on Wednesday and found out that I get a 2 for 1 deal, (kind of). She's actually a bit pricey, but I think she will be worth it! She works with my OB a lot and has a Doula mentoring under her, as well as another back up for emergencies. I really liked them both and as long as another one of their clients doesn't go into labor at the same time as me, I'll have two Doulas present at the birth. Talk about spoiled, right? ;)

Anyway, I'm relieved to have that done. I registered for a VBAC class in May so hopefully that will be worth the time and money! I guess all this means we are getting closer. I can't believe it!

Half Way There

Today was my half-way point in my pregnancy. Didn't do too much to celebrate as I was busy with kids. I did work out for 25 minutes and got to take a shower while Madison napped and Joshua played on the Wii with his friend. Thank goodness Dwight showed up at home this afternoon. He skipped track because he wasn't filling too well, so I left Kelly at home with him while I drove Joshua and his friend to their afternoon art class. It was SO cold.

I've been getting headaches the last couple of days and today was no different. I think they are tension headaches. Such a pain.

Getting further along in this pregnancy isn't helping with the emotions either. I'm still feeling like I'm pretty much in this alone. I get to talk to a friend occasionally on the phone (long-distance) but that just isn't really helping with all the emotions I'm going through with this pregnancy.

And now that I know we are probably moving, I'm kind of on hold as far as hiring a doula. To top that off, Scott is totally distracted with his job situation to really show any interest in this pregnancy. It just kind of sucks all around.
