I told Jay the other day, the one thing I am probably most stressed about is where is this baby going to live??? Our 930 sq ft house is barely big enough for the two of us!!! We've talked and discussed and have somewhat of a game plan. The office will be jelly bean's room, the front room will be turned into a den/office. We're going to have to buy some new furniture but very minimal. I'm going to share the closet and a dresser with jelly bean since our house lacks closet space. My goal is start purging the house of things we don't need or use. I gave something to Angie the other night and was excited to start getting rid of junk. We're going to work on the attic and basement and try to maximize the space we have there. Our parent's and family keep asking if we're going to move. I know our house is small but it's a cheap payment and it's helped us build our savings. I know it will be tight but I want to stay here till we absolutely have to leave. I expect it won't be long but we can still make it a couple more years.
I was having a selfish day on Monday. I had to go to Victoria Secret and buy some things for Angie's bachelorette party this weekend. While I was in there I had this thought "I'm not going to be able to look cute in any of this stuff for a long time". I have no idea why I was thinking this because I don't even go in that store unless its Christmas and I buying a gift for someone else. So I started having my pity party and feeling like a fat heifer. I haven't been going to the gym like I told myself I was going to keep up on and starting to come down on myself for not taking better care of myself. Some girls from work quickly reminded me I will be regretting this feeling down the road when I will barely be able to put on my own pants. I went to the gym yesterday and did my cardio and felt better. I actually haven't gained that much weight although I feel 20 lbs heavier.
Everyone keeps reminding me I'll be able to find out what we're having in a few weeks. I can't believe we're already at that point. I've been asked by everyone if we'll find out. I figure I can't control anything in this pregnancy (well not really) but I can control knowing what the sex of the baby is. So yes we'll find out. I don't know if it's because I want all boys but I am convinced it's a boy. We'll see if the "mother's instinct" is right. I can't say I've pre-planned a lot of things but I do have these few details figured out... Jelly bean will go to day care at Deaconess. I am going to breast feed for hopefully the first year. The nice thing about the baby going to day care at Deaconess is I can go over there during my lunch to nurse. Plus I'll have the comfort of knowing they are close to me. I've never questioned if I would breast feed, just one of those things I know I want to do. I'm little nervous about trying to plan it all out around me working full time and the baby having a consistent schedule but I am determined to make it work.
1) I'm glad you're keeping the house. It's cute:) Plus, I know where to find you if I need you!
ReplyDelete2) I think you look beautiful in the pictures I've seen:) And if it makes you feel any better, I've been gaining weight...in Africa! Who does that?! (No working out + lots of carbs = weight)
3) I can't believe it's almost time to find out if it's a boy or a girl! Seriously...time is flying! I could picture a boy:)
Love you!
