*Week 19*

Hello friends and family!!

    So, I am so bad at updating this blog on a weekly basis, and I am sorry for that! It's true... the first pregnancy, you have so much time do things like this, but once you have a child running around, boy oh boy, it's different. I will try to get better at it, I promise. So, since I am currently 20w3d at the moment, I am going to catch up by blogging about weeks 18 and 19 today!


   Well, week 18 was a pretty tiring one, if I do say so myself. I was still fighting that sinus/allergy issue that I have never really encountered before, so that was no fun. I worked two 12 hour shifts Saturday and Sunday with some super fun gals, but it was a rather busy weekend, so it was tiring. Luckily, though, I didn't swell. I've received some comments from people... The usual "Wow!! WHEN ARE YOU DUE?!" and the "Girl, you look like you're due so soon!" ... I am trying to ignore it because I also get the "Your belly is so adorable" types, too, and this is most likely my last pregnancy, so I am going to embrace this belly. To hell with 'em!!

I am officially still in my wedding rings and Danskos (my nice work shoes that I had to retire at 18wks in my pregnancy with Cam due to swelling). So far, swelling isn't too bad, unless I sit or stand ALL DAY... But so far, so good. And this week was IT for tax season... I finally get my husband back!! WooHoo!! haha. Poor guy... he has been working his tail off!! But, we finally get some normalcy back now. I noticed I was really crampy and tired this week, taking naps when I could and downing the water, which helps cramping. I noticed some good movement from baby after eating lima beans... Cool kid!! I love them things, and Daryl thinks they're gross. I am the one setting the future for our children's taste buds right now, so I am trying to eat healthy!! So all in all, not a whole lot happened exciting this week, ya know... just over here growing a human, no big deal. ;p HaHa Love you all!!
