Easter Sunday and April Fools Day...

Well, for us, it's just another Sunday with some closed stores.  A bit inconvenient since we needed to go to the pet food store and it was one of the stores closed today.  Luckily, I still have some hard food for the cats and hopefully J will be coming home tomorrow.  G has been having good days and bad days.  She's now walking up a storm.  Exerting her independence.  She's always pulling away and wanting to walk alone.  She can stack her stacking toys.  She can put covers on her bottles and toddler fruits and veggie containers.  She loves chicken Florentine with pasta.  She loves all pastas.  She's loves her day care and all the kids there.  We're struggling to get her to drink out of a sippy cup.  But I've changed her bottle nipples so it's really flowing fast.  I keep trying different sippy's but at some point during the day (on weekends) she'll have a meltdown if she can't have her bottle.  Unfortunately, I give in.  I hate seeing her so hysterical.  Maybe she's not ready.  I'll keep on trying at meals and for bed time milk, I'll still let her have a bottle. 

Tonight is his check ride and he's stressed out.  He's actually taking it now.  I'm praying it all goes well.  J was home for 3 days in March.  G is missing her Daddy.  I'm missing him too.  Praying all goes well tonight for him and he comes home on schedule.

19 weeks...

Well week 19 was not too bad.  I'm starting back up with walking and my company has a challenge in the works from 8/29-9.25 and that always helps keep me honest.  My cold is nearly all gone and I feel so much better.  Presently we are trying to find a new home for our problem cat.  We just can't get trust her.  She is very unpredictable and has hurt me.  Sometimes she's playing other times she's getting even because I won't let her do something she wants.  So far none of the shelters will take her and I've reached out to an old co-worker that has a farm in her family.  I'm thinking that's her only option other than putting her down. One of the shelters actually said I should do just that.  I'd rather her be able to run and play then have her life snuffed out intentionally.

Anyway, I have my OB app today and MFM tomorrow for the anatomy scan.  I'm looking forward to finding out what this little one will be.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts hurt on and off
• Tired
• Stomach is getting bigger and rounder
• Sciatica pain
• I feel pains in my abdomen in different areas.  Guess things are stretching out to fit baby
