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.

I'm still around

Just can't focus, so I haven't been writing much....hopefully will be back on my game soon.

Edit:
Okay, feeling a little more organized brain wise (only a little though) I have to say...I am REALLY wanting some vanilla ice cream and tang....REALLY wanting it, like you have no idea.

I am 25 weeks along now, and I feel Seraph-Anne moving a lot, Husband still hasn't really felt her move more than just the once. She keeps stopping as soon has he touches my belly. She'll stop kicking, but keep summer-salting, and when Husband will put his hand on my belly and just talk to her she'll just move around, but not kick for him. It's so cute, because if she's not moving and he starts talking to her, she'll start moving. It's the most adorable thing I've seen like....ever

So Exciting! (but still nerdy)

Husband has just finished reading the 5th book in the Song of Ice and Fire series....OH MY GOSH!!!! He told me the ending, because it wouldn't ruin the rest of the book (I'm only around page 390 something, I really need to get on that) I am just so pumped up to read right now! But I'd have to sit still long enough to get anything read...and that's a problem for me lately.

In other news, heartburn is a bi**h....I hate it, I need some papaya, I've been told that helps. But alas, no money, still so hopefully soon we will get some relief. I should have my unemployment card by Monday, and Tuesday I should have my first payment on there. I've also heard the post office will be hiring soon, in the next couple months. And that is awesome, I've been looking for data entry jobs, and that is perfect for me. I just have to take a written test and then they do the typing test, and lord knows I type fast enough for that, at my peak I was up to 90 words per minute. But I need to find a typing program again, I need to work on my 10 key skills, they're atrocious.

Went to Twist tonight, and had a wonderful time, I swear it's one of my favorite places to just *be* plus the talk was good, and people were pleasant to hang around.

Ow, Pregnancy Hurts

My body is sore from trying to sleep, both sides of my hips hurt, so no matter which side I tried to sleep on, it ended up getting sore and hurting. And from that my lower back hurts...like majorly. Plus yesterday they mowed the lawns here at the apartments, and my allergies are always worse the day after...it sucks. That and my belly just hurts, no I'm not really worried about it, but I will call my doctor later just to be sure nothing is wrong. There isn't any cramping, but just pressure and soreness. I think because I'm growing again. I hit 24 weeks pregnant yesterday, and I had Husband take a picture, and since the beginning of the pregnancy I have worn the same shirt, but we haven't taken any pictures since I was around 16 or 18 weeks....and looking at the picture from last night I have defiantly gotten bigger, even with still loosing weight. I just can't wait till it's very obvious I'm pregnant, even in the pictures it's not 100% clear. Oh well, I've got plenty of time for that left....trust me.

An interesting side effect of me being pregnant, the dog, so long as Husband isn't distracting him will follow me around from room to room, and if I'm in the bathroom, he'll be sitting right outside waiting for me to get done and come back out to the other room. I guess he's just more protective than he used to be.

Nerdy Things (non-nerds beware)

The whole party was killed yesterday (which was only me and Pretty Boy, so it really wasn't that hard) Although it was a little frustrating, especially considering my character saved Pretty Boy's from having his brains eaten by a mind flair (or illilad) But in the end a Chuul got me in it's pincers and I couldn't get out of the grapple to cast a spell anyways...long story short, with a lot of damage being taken by my from both the Chuul and Pretty Boy's character we both ended up dying....so we're continuing on with the campaign but with new characters.
And since we thought it would just be the two of us again for the actual playing, we decided to make a brother/sister duo of Druids, both of us are Aasignar, the opposite of the Tiefling, (a celestial descendant as opposed to a infernal) Well we got a text from Fireball later on in the evening, asking if we were going to be starting up DnD again, and so we responded positive, told him what level to make his character and to show up next Sunday around 4. Later we got another text, but this time from Little Brother, also wanting to play. So going from a two person party to a four person party...I can't wait for Sunday!!!
Besides, I've heard Husband giggling manically in anticipation of the game...that's always a good sign.
