sararay's Journal, 07 November 2009

We're doing really well. My weight gain stalled a little, which my midwife said it would do about now. I am almost into the third trimester. I am feeling good, though I do have to sleep more and I take naps. The midwives convinced me to cut my hours at work. I am now working 4-8s instead of 4-10s. I have had my new schedule for two weeks and it has helped tremendously.

The holidays are fast approaching and my husband will be done with his Bachelor's degree on December 13th. YAY! On the downside his job is ending January 1st. His company is merging with another and he has to either take a severance or re-apply for his job. The thing is that he is already applying for other jobs because of his degree. Ideally he would find something else by then. It would be great if we could take the severance. We are actually considering taking it anyway so he can have time to apply for jobs that are not in the immediate area and interview out of town. It would also be nice to have him be able to work on the house a little before the baby comes. It would be a gamble, but it could be the best timing ever. Who knows, we're still praying about it.

So far so good. I hope all my buddies are doing well. I'll be back to losing weight some time in February. I will be BFing so I won't be doing anything drastic, but eating healthy and exercising. Be back soon. Don't forget about me. ;)

We haven't forgotten about you and will be here to support you when you come back full time! Glad everything's going along well. Take care of yourself.

I'm so happy to hear that things are going well for you. I'm sure that hubby's job situation will work out, especially if you are open to relocating. Even if you aren't, he has a good shot at finding work since he is more or less at the beginning of his career. It is easier to find work in the current economic climate if you don't require a huge salary to start. Of course we haven't forgotten about you!! I can't wait until you are posting new baby pics...it'll be here sooner than you expect!

Glad things are going well. The third trimester can be hard, with the fatigue, the difficulty sleeping and the bladder issues. But it's also so exciting--knowing your baby will soon be here! The kicks and your baby's movement will keep you going. GEt the rest you need and drink lots of water-especially as your date gets closer. (I found I got a lot of serious Braxton-Hicks contractions whenever I was tired and hadn't had enough water.) Best of luck with your husband's job. Having some time together before baby would definitely be the best timing!
