Fun update and 1 minute writing

I love the One-Minute Writer Blog so I responded to today's prompt . Please go check the blog out, it's a wonderful exercise to get started with.
Complex would have to be life in general right now, having to deal with the fact that I'll be having a baby in just 10 weeks is unbelieveable still. Simple would have to be my joy at crafting. I've finally got knitting down pretty well, and I'm quite proud of myself, for it.

As for all things baby, things aren't going to bad right now. My sleep has improved somewhat, I'm not quite as sore every morning at the moment. I have had to stop myself from wearing flip flops from now on (or at least I'm trying not to) because the lack of support from the shoes actually hurts my feet pretty badly...so I'm either barefoot or in tennis shoes...and I really don't like tennis shoes....and socks. Well, I like socks but not if I have to wear shoes with them. I also have my second baby shower on Sunday, should be quite interesting, and hopefully I'll get some cloth diapers out of the deal....I really need some of those, and I'll be starting on knitted soakers soon I believe, so fingers doubly crossed.

Anywho, Husband has been working this week! He's got some promising job applications in also, so we're both looking forward to the pay check next week :) Hopefully his company will continue giving him these odd jobs to keep him working more consistently. Or even better we hear back from one of the places Husband has applied this week. We're just keeping our fingers cross that everything keeps going well.

29 Weeks 2 Days

How Far: 29 weeks 2 days

Size of Baby: butternut squash- pictured here:

Total Weight gain: -43 pounds (lost 50, have finally gained some of that back)

Gender: Female

Movement: no real kicking, mostly moving around, getting jabbed a lot...

Sleeping: getting up at least once or twice to pee still...waking up with sore hips, so I end up doing a lot of twisting and turning at night to get comfortable.

Moods: I've been a little sad lately, but I'm thinking that was more of a bi-product of last week's sadness rolling over still.

Cravings: Smarties, ice water, and coca-cola (only the name brand tastes good anymore...it's kinda irritating)

What I miss: Not feeling uncomfortable and running my body into walls/doorways

Symptoms: hip pain, braxton hicks (that was scary)

Best moment: probably laying in bed while Husband talks to the baby

Doctor News: I am measuring at 31 weeks, which they have told me is completely normal. Also I have been told I don't need to worry about gestational diabetes.

It's been a while.....update

Things are going a little better than they had been, finances are just a little looser, and life isn't quite as stressful....although still plenty of stress to go around.
Last week we had a friend of ours pass on unexpectedly, so a lot of morning last week. It was nice to see everyone come together in the wake of her passing though.
I did end up getting insurance for myself and the baby through healthwave. So that's a plus, but we still get less than $25 a month for food stamps due to Husband's job being evil and lying to the SRS about how much he works.
But that's not much we can do to change that at this point in time. I'll update later today with pregnancy news, and new baby stuffs.
And once again I say I'll try to be a more punctual blogger, although we all know how well that usually ends up turning out.
