Update after 6 months of a new life...

I now know why people stop blogging.  The days go by so quickly when you are caring for a new human being.  It's hard.  So very hard and J and I aren't so young that we bounce back easily.  The first month was just getting used to a new way of living and healing.  After that she got Colic and when that ended, it was time for me to return to work.  First week in day care she caught her first cold, then her second put her in the hospital for 3 days.  Now she is 6 months old and I can't believe it.  She is the light of my life.

26 weeks...

This week we have a few classes at the hospital.  Bringing home baby which is only an hour and the childbirth marathon on Saturday.  It's from 8:30-4:30 pm.  It'll be a long day but worth it.  I can't believe I've made it this far. It feels a bit surreal.  I can't wait to meet our little girl.  I love feeling her move around.  It makes me feel so reassured that she's okay. A part of me thinks J is in a bit of denial. We need to do so much work around the house I have no idea when it will be done.  J doesn't seem to be able to get started.  Anyway, all I can do is take one day at a time.

Symptoms I felt this week:
  • Breasts still itchy and sensitve
  • Tired and out of breath rather quickly
  • Finding it harder to move freely and tie my shoelaces
  • Belly popping out 
  • Very full belly 
  • Baby kicks and movement
  • Sleeping issues

18 weeks...

Other than this awful cold, things have been uneventful.  Work is a bit stressful but that's all.  I'm trying to start planning and cleaning up.  I'm signing J and I up for some classes at the hospital. Childbirth classes, bringing home baby and the hospital tour.  They will all be in October.  Can't believe how quickly time is moving by.  I've started a list of baby items we'll be needing.  J is a bit shocked by the price tag but it is what it is.  I'm also needing to look into childcare.  I was thinking a company would be better but it might be too pricey.  Home day care seems more affordable.  Just worried about the safety of our baby.

Symptoms I felt this week:
  • Breasts don't hurt as much but nipples seem very sensitive
  • Tired but because of this cold
  • Stomach is definitely getting bigger
  • Sneezing and coughing still.  Lots of congestion
