It's Fridayyy, which means tomorrow is the start of our halfway there week! I am so excited to get over that hump and start feeling like things are really progressing.
Our anatomy scan ultra sound is exactly 2 weeks from today. In fact, at this time on June 4th we will already be out of the hospital and know exactly WHO is going to be joining our family in October. :) We might even get to start referring to the baby by name. Aren't you all getting curious too? We have our boy name ready to go (NOT D Jr.!) and are down to 3 girls names. This is big for us!
Speaking of the baby, s/he has been having a dance party all morning. This might be partially caused by the soda that I have been sipping on. ::Gasp:: I know, right?! I have been having some may-ja headaches the last few weeks (thank you Second Trimester symptoms) and have found that a couple sips of soda seem to kick them right away. Remember- caffeine is perfectly safe to have when you are pregnant. Doctors say up to 200 mg a day is fine (my single Dr. P has 28 mg), so I really can't feel guilty for indulging to cure a headache once in awhile. I still won't drink coffee or caffeine for any other reason, but I seriously feel less guilty drinking this than taking Tylenol (which is also allowed). Call me crazy.
I think I'll spill some details on my *good news* tease now...because as of today I have only 2 weeks left to work at my current job. Hurray!!! No, I didn't convince D to let me start maternity leave at 5 months preggo- this momma got a pretty amazing job offer. Let me clarify by saying it is actually a tentative offer, contingent upon my background investigation and paperwork getting the go-ahead, but there is really no reason to believe it shouldn't at this point. If all things are a go I will start on June 7th...if all things are not a go...well...I may have screwed myself over. So stay tuned for more news on that. I'd give you all more details, but I feel more comfortable waiting until I know for sure. I guess maybe maternity leave could start early? Keep your fingers crossed for me!
P.S. All of you who got investigation mail on me...you'll probably get it again. Pretty please be nice and help a sista out. Thank you! :)
D is out till Sunday night, so I am not as excited as I usually am for the weekend. I have plans to try to clean by myself (boooooo), reorganize my closet since 99% of things do not fit, get a pedi, groceries, and have some serious play time with the pup. Hopefully it goes by fast...haha, who says that about days off? We have lots of fun plans for next week and then the Memorial Day holiday coming up, so time should really move itself along. I'll probably have some weekend posts with all of my free time, so check back in if you're bored! I know I still owe you guys a few- I'm the worst promise keeper ever. I'm sorry, sometimes working full-time and building another human being keeps me busy. ;)
Have great weekends!!!
xo,
H
