New House and Home

We did it! We found a perfect place! Its a 3 Bedroom Townhouse that we ALL like. Including the twins! We move in in exactly 2 weeks! I am so excited that we will finally have a bathtub, and that we will have a new home all set up before this baby is born.
In the past 3 years I have lived in 4 places. The last 3 places did NOT have a dining room, and this new place DOES! I envision us hosting Thanksgiving Dinner for our family this year, and inviting people over for sit down dinners! I honestly can;'t wait,.

Mawwiage, is what bwings us togethew today.

Yep. I'm getting married! Finally, after a 2 year engagement, 1 official break-up, and a very nice make-up we are finally getting married. We were going to wait until 2018 but honestly, I don't want to wait anymore. I just want to be married, and legal, and good in God's eyes. No more living in sin for us! haha

I am literally having a baby in 2.5 months. And then will be getting married 4 months after that. I'm a little disappointed that I will more than likely still be fat from baby, but I'm still getting excited. We have chosen our wedding colors and have booked the venue. Me and my maid-of-honor have chosen their dresses. Hot pink convertible dresses! Very sexy. We still have a million things to work out but the bottom of the line is that we will be married by the end of 2017. Yay!

Week 25

Found out I have placenta previa. Which means I will be having my very first c-section when I reach 39 weeks. When I first found out I was kind of scared. I had watched a couple c-section video's and saw them pull out the mothers intestines, place them on a table, then cut deep into her abdomine muscle to get the baby out. Then, they carefully place all her guts back inside her body where they belong. Ugggg.....

I have been through normal, vaginal birth 4 times, and it does not scare me. I know exactly what to expect and how to "breath through" the pain of contractions. Easy stuff for an old pro like me. But now faced with the reality of this surgery, I'm thinking it might be a nice change. I'll get frozen, and I won't have to go through the pushing and contractions. A fat baby will just be brought to me. LOL

I'm starting to get excited for out next move too. I miss having baths so much. I've already been looking online and praying that God will provide us with a really great place where we will be able to have family dinners. Exciting stuff.

I better get back to work.

Being Pregnant and almost 40.

I am now 23 weeks pregnant. Yay! 23 weeks. A little more than half ways there. I don't remember pregnancy being this difficult though. 

I have had 4 previous, easy, breezy pregnancies. Never had any issues. It really wasn't hard or anything but this time, OMG. 

First of all, I got gestational diabetes. Meaning that I now have to give myself shots of insulin. I hate it and its scary.

Then, I'm growing really huge. I already look like I'm going to pop any day, and I still have 3.5 months to go! I am SO big. 

But it's exciting too. Baby boy has been moving around lots for the past 3 weeks. My daughter was the first one to feel baby move (besides myself, of course) She was so amazed and excited! It was so cute to watch!

I think it was 2 weeks ago that my fiance finally felt the baby move. It was a small movement. I can't wait until the kicks gets stronger so that he can start feeling baby too. 

We have to go in for monthly ultrasounds now because I'm "high risk" because of my age and my diabetes, so we get to see the baby every month which is exciting. Last week we saw a close up of his balls and dick. Yep. He's definitely a big boy! ha ha. He looks exactly like his dad, which is really cool to see. We see alot of pictures of his baby profile and its looks like a tiny version of my fiance and our daughter. I can't wait to meet him and hold him and just enjoy having a baby again. 

I'm still working 2 jobs but have cut down on my hours at job #2. I will be quitting job #2 in Feb. Quitting for good. I am going to work my full time job right until I go into labour, hopefully. I need all the money I can get. I don't like the idea of being on maternity leave and only bringing home a percentage of my paycheck. I'm already stressed about it but my fiance assures me that he'll be giving his paycheques directly to me so I can handle all our money and do the budgeting and bill paying. Maybe I can babysit on the down low and bring in some extra cash. I'll figure out something. 

I recently bought a big body pillow because I have been so uncomfortable sleeping. Now I thow my leg over it when I sleep. I caught my fiance throwing his leg over it one night as we were watching tv and I got mad at him. I laid down the law that it was MY pillow. NOT HIS. LOL poor guy. 

Well, baby is kicking my low today. In the lower pelvic region. It feels like he has hiccups. I better get back to work. 

Happy New Years!
