Once again, I haven't written in a couple days. This might be due to the very long stretch of very long work days I have had the passed 6 days in a row. I hate to start a blog entry by complaining but whew! I ache from my heels to my fingertips. My days off are going to be glorious. I also should probably count my blessings that I have a job and that tips have been good lately. (I've been started a savings for when I take maternity leave.)
So, pregnancy update first. I'm 18 weeks along. Or almost 4 months. I'm definitely beginning to grow. I show more at night than in the morning. Probably from the 20 pounds of food I've eaten all day. Which, I feel like I do all the time. I'm so glad I'm not a junk food junkie because I'd probably never get back to my normal size after the baby is born. My diet is mostly fruits, vegetables, nuts, meat (when Ryan cooks) and cereal. Ok, occassionaly there is a milkshake, frozen yogurt or something chocolatey in there. No ones perfect, right?
O o o! We chose a girls name! We are both totally happy with it and I'm kind of in love with it too. But, I'm not telling you or anybody else what it is. A girls gotta have secrets. Now, if we find out on May 9th that its a boy....well....I'm not sure. I've got a list going but I'm not really attached to any of the names 100% yet.
AND Ryan felt the baby move! I was laying on my side and went to roll to sit up and my stomach didn't roll with me! Kind of creepy looking! It was like the baby didn't want to move from where it was. Ryan reached to touch my stomach and the baby moved for him. It was really neat. I think it made Ryan happy. Little moments like this are amazing. It makes the pinching, cramping, inability to bend over, waking up to pee 4 times a night and strange looks from people, all worth it.
Life update.
Time is flying by. As usual. Ryan almost had a heart attack when I reminded him how many weeks along I am. He was still telling everyone 12 weeks!! Silly man.
I feel like I work allll the time. And see my husband never. I go to work just about the time he leaves work. Our time together is spent with our eyes shut, praying the alarm will never go off. I miss him a lot. Being married and living in the same place doesn't mean you spend all your time together. Definitely not. But, it does put a significance on the time you do have with one another. Last night we laid in bed and talked as long as we could keep our eyelids open (mine might have even been closed).
Ryan is still really enjoying his new job. Which makes me so happy. It's the first time in our relationship that he feels like he is right where he needs to be. I admit insurance talk isn't the most interesting thing for me but I listen to what he talks about and I'm actually finding that I am learning a lot. His biggest complaint is not being able to sleep at night. I think its that he isn't burning off energy sitting behind a desk. But, a problem that small is an easy fix.
His mom is coming to visit in June. I am so excited to have someone to do lady things with. Day times are me, the cat and the fish. I've got a lot of conversation stored up. Hope you're ready Diane!
Well, that's all I've got for today. I hope you lasted through another day in the life of Ryan and Karlee.
Keep loving.
