27 Weeks and Counting Down

27 Weeks and Counting Down - 95 days to go

According to my last post I was at the 16 week mark. Well now, I will be 27 weeks on Tuesday. Only 95 days to go. That seems manageable right?!?

So much has happened in the past 12 weeks.....

1. We officially sold our house and moved in with my parents.
2. We haven't found a new house to live in so my wonderful in-laws have agreed to let us start our family of 3 in their basement while we are building our house.
3. We are currently in the process of getting bids for our house and finalizing the plans for the build.

I guess that's about it, but when I think about it, life has been really stressful!

We will find out next week after our 28 week follow up ultrasound to see if anything has changed from the previous ultrasound.

I'm starting to feel more out of breath and my belly is tight constantly. I have eliminated all exercising because it causes too many contractions. I'm missing my runs and even walking the dogs.

I was cleaning the house last week and had to stop after 10 minutes of picking up clothes because my belly was hurting so bad.

I'm hoping I don't have to be put on bed rest for financial reasons but I only feel good when I'm lying on the couch.

I'm on a stretch of nights next week so we will see how that goes. Thank goodness for air-conditioning these past few days. I don't know how some people can do it!

I will try and upload a few pictures of the belly soon.

I plan on making this healthy version of puppy cow for a bachelorette party this weekend. Check it out and let me know what you think :)

Stay cool and keep active!

Serial Swiper

In the world of online dating it is a swipe left or swipe right. Swipe right means you're interested, and a swipe left means no thanks. We all judge. We judge based on pictures posted to a profile. We judge based on the information provided in a profile, or lack there of. We judge on their height, their profession, and sometimes whether they have any pictures of themselves without sunglasses or a hat on! Right now, I'm a serial swiper. I've been open to dating and dating for at least six months now, but only got online with the famous dating apps a few weeks ago; Tinder and Bumble. Maybe I'm really still old school about how dating should be, but I feel like if you "match" with someone, the guy should be the first one to reach out and initiate a conversation. Now, if you are unfamiliar with some dating apps, there is an app Bumble, where if you match with someone, the female has to make the initial contact. However, after that initial contact, I still think t...

Breaking Point

I honestly can't believe I've had 3 posts in a week! When was the last time that happened? I was siting in my 5th Google Hangout Meeting today and just started crying. I knew why, I just didn't want to admit it. I have never felt so empty about something in my life since my divorce. I would cry like this and just hope the feeling would eventually go away. I would occupy myself with things to do around the house, or running errands or whatever; but it doesn't go away. I have been really unhappy in my job this year. There are a lot of factors, but I figured I would get into the groove of things, and it would be fine. However, that feeling has not gone away. As stated in an earlier post this week, I was passed over for a position, well, I never even had a chance to interview for it, even though it was exactly what I wanted. Politics. When I accepted this position in Alexandria I knew what I was getting into as far as traveling to other schools. What I didn't know I...

Does Size Matter?

I have always struggled with accepting my body size and shape. I have never been Barbie thin. My entire life I have always been bigger than my friends, teammates, you name it. It has been an issue that I've struggled with for a really long time. Right after my divorce I was super thin and was working out and teaching group exercises 3 times a week...I loved the way my body looked but I still wasn't happy. While life and stress makes my weight fluctuate, I still am active and enjoy working out. I cannot wait for the gyms to open back up so I have a place to go and lift. I've been running, and even bought a new pair of running shoes. But this post isn't really about me, it's about the idea of what others see my body as. I have been open to dating recently and have been on a handful of dates...none that really amounted to anything. There was one, but it was a total friend zone kind of 6 weeks. Great person, just not the right fit. I had a date this weekend and i...
