Well, I finally made it to my third trimester. I have deffinately decided being pregnant with Jacob was a walk in the park compaired to this one. At my last appointment they found out 1) I have preeclampsia (guessing on the spelling) which has put me on "walking bedrest." I'm allowed to get up and move around.... as long as I am laying down for ninetynine percent of the day. The doctor also discovered that 2) my pelvis is falling apart. I have too much of the hormone relaxin (which loosens joints and things so the baby can get out). I've got so much that I'm straining all my ligaments and tendons between my hips and my lower back. That limits movement even more! I can't even really roll over in bed without pain now. Not fun.
I am also to the point where I SHOULD have things ready to go...just in case. Needless to say because of all this fun, I don't. So between laying down, watching my every move and chasing Jabob around, I am slowly getting things "baby ready." We have the crib and things, but now I need to pack for Jacob (who will be spending a week at grandma's) Cloie and for myself. I can't get myself to do ANY of it. I just want this kid to come out, THEN I'll worry about that stuff. (if only I could do it in that order).
One thing that I'm slowly getting together (Yay) is a list of phone numbers of babysitters for Jacob. I hate the idea of making one person sit around until I call, so I'm hoping to get as many people as possible. So far.... three for sure (and two of those it depends on the timeing). I have really started to realize that I have next to no friends in the area. I do have two/three more people that I'm going to ask, but other than that, I can't think of a soul that even lives here. I really wish I would have made friends... too bad that I'm too stinking shy for my own good.
