Kayden is a joy to have. He's growing so much each day and I absolutely love to watch him learn and figure things out on his own. He gets so proud of himself and he wants to make us proud! I'm so lucky to have him around. =) Thankfully he's very good at playing by himself, with my morning sickness I'm not the funnest person to play with. He's getting really good at playing by himself or bringing the toys closer to me so we can play together. Its sweet. He's talking more and is able to express himself and communicate what he wants better.
My little turkey eatting grapes =)
Love this ornery face!
Brett is working nights and it works really well for us. He comes home just in time to see us out the door, sleeps while we are gone, hangs out with us in the evening and leaves right at bedtime. His days off have even changed and surprisingly he has Saturday/Sunday nights off! We can actually have a weekend together! Except when its a football weekend.....but we're not complaining about that overtime. ;)
I'm working my normal hours with a little too much to do at work. We are down a supervisor which means my work load is overwhelming at times. School has been good. I realized with my increased work load and horrible morning sickness that it was smarter to take a short leave of absence and return when things have settled down and I have more control. As far as the morning sickness (or should I say all day sickness) is concerned, I'm hoping my doctor will have some insight on Friday. Physically I'm not sure how much more I can handle. Its just taking a toll on me and my body. My only symptoms are the nausea, headaches and dizziness which are technically all "normal". My body doesn't agree with me being pregnant though! 28 weeks left! Just.....keep.....swimming......
Baby #2
How far along: 12weeks 2days
Total weight gain: -18
Best moments this month: I made it out of the first trimester
Food cravings: Depends on the day/time/how I feel.....its ridiculous
Gender: Not visible yet!
Labor signs: none
What I miss: Feeling normal
What I am looking forward to: Praying the morning sickness goes away quickly and quietly
Milestones: Baby is the size of a plum.
Looking to the future..... with things ever changing at our house we've had several conversations about what we want and where we want to live. We know that Stillwater isn't our forever home, but its a great stepping stone. We've agreed on staying in Stillwater until November 2013, as I will become vested in my 401k. Brett just received a raise with OSU, so he will be staying with them as well. Until then we exploring our options and following our hearts. I can't wait to see what will happen!
Don't be discouraged, friend :) Know that this is just a difficult season of life, and this too shall pass. Financially tight, emotionally draining, and yet... somehow rewarding :) Maybe all you need is a visit from some friends :)
