I'm going to try my best to not be all over the place with this blog but I have a feeling with my pregnancy brain and normal ADHD it may get a little confusing.
First off I am 31 weeks pregnant only 9 more weeks to go! I find it funny no matter what point I am at in my pregnancy whether 10, 20, or 30 weeks when asked when my due date is the return comment is always that is forever away. I smile but really my crazy pregnancy hormones want to yell "Don't tell a pregnant lady she has forever to go with her pregnancy ever!!" lol. I think people are a little surprised my due date is at the end of October because of how big I am already. I have learned from my previous pregnancy that because of my height my belly just grows straight out! With Braden and this baby I have always measured 4 weeks ahead. My Doctor isn't worried since it seems to be the normal way I grow. This baby is very active especially at night time. My heartburn has been terrible, and we had a gestational diabetes scare. Luckily though my 2hr test came back normal! I'm going to try to eat healthy though and continue to exercise especially swimming since that seems to be the only way to ease the sciatica and pelvic pain. This may be TMI but I so badly want to have a successful VBAC(Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and I exercise will help me get there! I don't want to labor again and then have to have a c-section I feel like that would be like preparing for a marathon and then having someone push me in a stroller through it. I know as long as I have an amazing support team, positive thinking and my water doesn't break early again I can be successful. A c-section is not the worse thing that could happen but it is scary for me. I know I have had one before and I still remember the pain of it and I really don't want to have to go through that again. I know people have their own opinions on c-sections, vbacs and stuff I prefer only positive uplifting comments as I grow closer to delivery!
Moving on from pregnancy to family. Jordan returned last Wednesday from 3 weeks down in Glendale helping out with the fires. Jordan and I have been apart several times in our relationship, even before we were married. You think that I would have got used to saying goodbye to my best friend, but it gets harder and harder with each goodbye. Especially now that I can see the effect it has on Braden. One of the nice things about Jordan being gone though is it gives me plenty of opportunity to reflect on how much I miss him and how much he means to our little family. He can be a real pain in my butt, and sometimes it is a struggle to get him to empty the dishwasher but I couldn't have asked for anyone more amazing!
Personal stuff that has changed. Well as Jordan was gone I made the decision that it was probably best to quit my job at Cinemark. I have worked there for almost 5 years. I met some amazing people, some crazies, and learned a lot about the movie industries like theater workers don't get overtime because they are considered a part of Hollywood and Hollywood doesn't get overtime just really big paychecks! I will not miss feeling obligated to work every single weekend of the year, feeling guilty for requesting off holidays. And the best part is I get to be at home with my adorable son Braden! I left my job to be with my family, there are things in our future that I can't really talk about on the Internet that will effect us deeply. I want to be with my children and to keep myself sane want my children to be with me. Don't worry Jordan and I are completely happy and are in this for eternity but other outside things will bring changes to our life in the next two years.
Moving on from personal stuff to moving!!! Jordan and I's lease is up on the 18th of September! We couldn't be happier apartment life has been interesting and I am thankful for the experience but there are so many things I will not miss about it. An amazing opportunity has presented itself to us and we will be moving into a beautiful home in the Santa Clara area! The best part is the house is large enough that we will be moving in with my sister Sam and her little family. I am really excited because I enjoy being close to family and it will help the lonely drill weekends! Plus it is perfect because Braden gets to live with his best friend Colden! So yes this means we will be moving when I am 34 weeks pregnant but we won't be moving into the house just then. Unfortunately the house won't be ready for us to move in right away but that is okay. We will happily be moving back into my parents for a few weeks until the house is ready. So most likely we will be moving stuff the last 6 weeks of pregnancy. I guess you could say we are crazy but I am okay with it. The more I have to do up until I deliver the better. If I stay busy then I won't be lazy lol. I am so looking forward to moving into this home and I most excited about all the beautiful storage space the house has to offer!
I think that is all the update I can give you for now. I wish I could say that I will be posting more within the next couple months but between packing, moving, weddings, and birthdays I am not sure if I will have as much time as I would like to post blog updates. However check out my Facebook I update that thing like crazy!
