It's been a while...

So I made it 3 months being PRN and picking up anywhere between 10-30 hours a week, and I had to go full time again. I applied for so many jobs, had 2 or 3 interviews, but they never amounted to anything, so I was going broke and had to go back to full time. Bleh. I'll continue to apply for jobs, but I don't think anyone is going to hire me when I can't hide my belly anymore. Haha. So, unfortunately I think I'm going to have to put up with this job at least until after the baby's born.

Our wedding went great! I'll post some pictures when I get them back from Cassie:) It was so much fun and I didn't want it to end! I was able to fit into my dress (whew!) and you could hardly see my "bump". Haha. And I swear a month later my stomach has doubled in size. It's huge! I'll post a picture later when I'm not writing at work :P

Speaking of my belly, this pregnancy is going pretty well. I never had any morning sickness and haven't had much of anything for symptoms. I'm 26 weeks and 3 days today! Only 13 weeks and 4 days to go. Haha. I've reading posts on WhatToExpect.com and a lot of women are going into preterm labor about now and it kinda makes me paranoid! I mean they say after 24 weeks a baby's chances are a TON better for surviving than before 24 weeks, but I wouldn't want to have to go like 2 months visiting my little one in the hospital every day:( I'd much rather just hold onto them until then! :D So I need to learn to take it easy. I think I've been stressing myself out a lot and I know I don't need that. My hormones are so out of wack that someone could say the simplest thing and set me off and I'll bawl for at least an hour. I've even talked to my doctor about it and she put me on Zoloft, but it hasn't helped much at all.

We had our first ultrasound at 15 weeks, because when I had my first doctor appointment, she said I was measuring large and wanted to make sure I wasn't farther along than I thought I was. I was right though. It was fun to see the baby a little early though:) We had another one at 20 weeks, which is normal. We could see a lot more features and such in that one, and it was great! We didn't find out the sex, because we decided we don't want to know. Of course Brian thinks it's a boy and is always saying "That's my boy" when I tell him how much the baby is kicking me. I know usually the mom has a gut feeling of what they're having, but I really have no idea! I'm stumped. Everyone in my family is hoping for a girl (except my dad), since Jamie has 2 boys. Dad wants another grandson of course. Haha.

Brian's family kinda got over the disappointment I think. They don't seem disappointed anymore anyways.

By the way, I don't think I ever mentioned in my last post that my due date is February 14th, which I'm ecstatic about! That was my dad's birthday and I would absolutely love for my baby to share my dad's birthday. I don't know how likely it will be that I actually have my child on my due date, but I can hope! We have 95 days left after today, which seems like a lot, but I know it's going to be here before we know it....and we don't have anything ready for the baby yet. We have some clothes, a car seat from Jamie, and some toys, and that's about it. We're getting a crib from my cousin Deb and a changing table from Brian's mom. My sister also said she has a ton of stuff for us too. Mom says she's throwing me a shower in January, and I'm not sure if that'll be the only one, but hopefully we won't have to buy much after our shower:)

Anyways, I've been staring at this screen and I'm out of things to say, so I'm gonna go. Hopefully I'll write again soon!
