Phase 1 is over and it feels like it is going by so quickly! I have to say that I am kind worried that it will be over the next time I blink. I am trying to do what I can to really enjoy this, if James and I have more kids it will never be the first time again. That being said I feel like the next couple of months are going to FLY by since I start school in about 3 weeks.
My last appointment was a week ago, it went well and the baby looked bigger than I thought it would. My nurse said that everything is on track and looking healthy so that makes me feel good. I had a very lazy week thereafter, I felt like I just couldn't get enough sleep and even worse I had NO motivation to even try to do anything. This week I am still a bit sleepy (people keep telling me its going to go away soon) but when I am up I am feeling more like me. I have been cooking dinner, yay for beef and veggie soup, and I walked with Kourtney and Erin this morning.
James and Renger picked up our flooring for the upstairs today so after it acclimates he will start installing it! I am very excited to have the floor, we will finally have a "finished" home when he gets done with this project. Then we can move our efforts to the backyard. It is probably too ambitious, but I would like to get a vegetable garden going this winter/ early spring so that I can have fresh produce this time next year... I may have to put that off for next summer though.
I am also looking forward to being able to put Gribble's room together now that I have picked out a nursery set that I like :) The Spotted Ellie set by Sumersault ( in case you want to know what it looks like.)
While I don't feel like I look any more prego than I did a couple of weeks ago, some of my co-workers are starting to notice more. And when I am going to take my leave has become the most interesting topic to my bosses... I feel like it is super early for anybody to even be thinking about, especially since its not like they are going to hire anyone to help cover my absence. This, of course, has prompted me to do some more in depth research on the subject though. It is disappointing to me that my company doesn't offer any kind of plan, and the more I look around I realize that the US is totally behind the curve compared to most of the rest of the developed world. It's astounding to me that in parts of Europe women get almost 2 years of paid time off while we in CA (which is apparently a "progressive" state in comparison with some) have to find a way to make half a paycheck work for 12 weeks... In any case I feel like planning all of that stuff right now is making me feel rushed.
I am very excited for all of the changes that my baby books say are to come. I can't wait to really look pregger's and be over this in between stage. I am also super excited to start feeling the baby move!
Until the next time-
Hope your Summer's are winding down nicely :)
