Yesterday I went to the doctor’s office to fill out paperwork for going out on disability/maternity leave early. Yup- I’m out until after the baby comes! Thankfully I’m not out on bedrest the whole time, just supposed to lay low and take it easy. I think I can handle that. Though being home does show me all the stuff that I have to do! This house is just a mess, and I can’t imagine bringing a baby home to the middle of it!! But it will all get done, or at least what doesn’t get done will just have to wait!
Mike and I are still planning on moving somewhere soon after the baby comes, but we still have no leads on jobs at all. It’s pretty frustrating, and we have decided that we may just have to move, find a temp company for Mike to work for, and a cheap 2-3 bedroom apartment, and then start looking for work once we get there. Then once we have a job, we can think about a house, and start the life that we would have started before having children, if we had a bit more warning!
As for baby stuff, I’m slowly trying to get baby’s room together, and we’ve been getting some fun presents from family and friends, so it’s starting to come together a bit. Now I have a larger pile of baby stuff in that room, along with piles of stuff that has to be moved out- somewhere… Not sure where, but somewhere else. Hopefully this will help us get organized and get rid of stuff! I have registered now at Target, too, in their baby department for a few things as well. (And that one can be accessed on-line at target.com then just click on the baby registry and search for us by name, or our registry number: 011003993477449)
If I can just get the strength up, I am hoping to get at least part of the baby’s room organized, or at least get some of the stuff out of the room that doesn’t belong in a baby’s room. Once I feel like I have gotten something accomplished, I will post pictures, but that could take a while!! Anyway, that’s about it from here! Only 8 weeks to go until my due date! (Though I have a sneaking suspicion that baby will be coming early…) We have our ultrasound on Thursday, so hopefully we will know a bit more for sure whether baby is actually a girl (which we think she is!) or a boy (big surprise to us!)! I’ll keep ya posted!
