Going on 28 weeks....


So in a day I’ll be 28 weeks along. I only have about 85 days to go as of now. It’s very exciting. She’s really starting to kick up a storm. She doesn’t do it all the time thank god. But it feels good in a way when she does. I have my next ultra sound this coming Monday. I’m so excited because I don’t have to go by myself this time. Jason will get to go and see what it’s like to see her move on the screen. I want him to be able to see it. It’s worth it. I never thought seeing something like would bring as much joy as it did. Just hearing the heart beat is enough to bring tears to my eyes. It’s exciting.

My belly is getting a bit bigger. I’m starting to show under my sweatshirts now. I’m still in my first pair of maternity jeans. They’re getting tight, but I can still wear them. I thought in the beginning that I was going to be spending a lot of money of new clothes for me, but I haven’t so far. A pair of work pants from the goodwill for a few bucks that still fit perfectly and a pair of clearance jeans from motherhood maternity for 12.99 when they were normally 54.99 I think is really good. It kinda surprises me that I haven’t spent more.

Right now the only problem that I have is that I’m having back pains. Yes I know that you get back pains when you get pregnant and I know they get bad in the last few months. But, these pains really aren’t from my pregnancy. I’ve had them for almost 10 years. But they can’t find out what exactly is causing it. It’s only on one side of my back. It’s something to do with my tail bone. I can’t wait to get my spine relined back to where it needs to be...but I can’t do that while I’m pregnant... I have to lay on my tummy and have a lot of pressure and weight put on my back...

I’m a little relieved because I found out that financially I am eligible for WIC. I have an appointment in May... that was the first open one they have... It took me forever to find the number.. apparently they moved from the hospital in Middletown to the health clinic. So it was listed at the hospital which confused me a bit but I got it. They were really nice on the phone. That was a huge relief. So all I have to do now is get enrolled in the day care program. I know that when it comes to the clothes and supplies I have my family which my grandma has done a great job with that already. So I know she will be well looked after. Even Jason’s mom with her discount at Walmart and mine at work will help.

But that’s it for now!
