Saturday in 2015

Can I first off just say that the weather here in Georgia has just not been my favorite the last week? We are on our 6th day in a row of rain, and have 2 more days of it before we will even see the sun again. It’s like we live in Seattle or something. It was just so incredibly cold the last part of Winter that we all got cabin fever, and now that we have non stop rain to deal with, it’s pretty much happening again! Not to mention that I spent so much time laying around because I didn’t feel good, but now that I do, I can’t do anything with my desire to go outside and greet the world.

Pretty much though, this whole week my body has been incredibly sore. It feels a lot like working out, and believe me, that is the last thing that I am doing! Well, I guess my body is “working out” the new life growing inside of it. I have just decided to rule that all pregnancies after #1 just get harder and harder as the number of times around the track increases. Im praying for a pay off that my delivery is easier than the other two have been. My feet are always throbbing and from my hips to my knees, everything just feels fragile. Like moving too much might cause my bones to crack. What I don’t understand is that my chest, shoulders and arms are sore. Maybe from sleeping awkward?

Did you know that pregnancy insomnia is a thing? I never had any problems sleeping while pregnant with either Salem or Ian, except at the end when it was just really hard to get comfortable. But this one for some reason, I struggle so much with staying asleep all night. It’s not because I am uncomfortable, or that I have to pee, I just literally can’t make my mind shut up long enough for me to stay asleep a whole night. Unless of course I take Tylenol PM, and I don’t want to do that every night. I try to only do it once or twice a week, and usually on the weekend when I don’t have an alarm clock to answer to.

Outside of pregnancy, what else is going on in our lives? It’s pretty much the same. My brother is still living with us and I think we are all settled into a routine and our used to each other. He’s working and making money and I think is happy. He broke up with his girlfriend about a month ago and I know it was hard at first, but it was really the best thing for him. I’m pretty sure that at this point he knows it too. Our church is still looking for a new pastor. A lot of people have left the church, and we were close to it at one point too. I don’t think the board has necessarily made good choices, and that is where our problem was. But it looks like they are taking a step in the right direction though, and the Pastor who visited with us last week was really awesome. We likes him a whole lot, and my bet is on him. We are also looking at houses. Our lease is up in August and we will not be renewing. We will be buying with Scott’s dad so they will be on the loan together. I think they are starting the paperwork to get everything going this next week. We’ve been looking online just to get an idea of what’s out there. Lot of things we like, so I am hopeful. It’s just been so stressful already getting our finances in order. Which brings me to what typically keeps me up at night. The fact that we have not purchased a single thing for the baby, or made any attempts to start putting any money away to do it. It is all just going to roll together. House, moving, school year, Salem’s birthday, Ian’s birthday, then baby. I just don’t see how anything will be feasible. My teeny tiny brain just can’t figure it all out.
