20 Weeks Pregnant!

On Dec. 2nd 2010 was my 20 week pregnant mark.

I surly don't feel 20 weeks pregnant. I look like I'm 3 months

pregnant. Only 4.5 months more to go. Crazy to think I'm at my half

way point.

I know there is so much to get done. I shouldn't worry

about it. Things come with time. I have noticed being pregnant.

I have had 3 Ear Infections (Which isn't normal... Every time

I get rid of it, it comes right back. I don't like going to the

doctors all the time so I just "deal" with the pain.)

I have noticed that eating while pregnant with Celiac Disease

is HARD! I crave a lot of Gluten and I have to stay away from it.

I also haven't been getting the nutrition that I need. I guess

you can say it's hard eating anything. I feel like

I eat the same thing everyday. I guess that's what I have

to deal with.

While being pregnant I haven't had much energy. I feel like

my chores seem to pile up on each other.

I have had some blessings being pregnant one

would be being able to feel my baby move.

I started feeling him on my 16 week mark. While we

were in Mexico. Now I feel him every night.

My little bundle of joy moves more when I'm ready to

go to sleep about 11:30pm. So I end up just staying up for awhile

till I finally fall asleep. Guess you can say I'm not used to all

the movement that's going on. It's kind of distracting. If you ask me.

I have been trying to keep busy with making my scrapbook

It's on my progress with baby and also making baby bibs at

the moment. I have been trying to make a Gluten free cook book,

but it's not going over very well.

I turned down jet blue. Seeing that I would be away from Kenton

for 4 weeks straight. for training...Trying to find something to eat

that's gluten free seems like it's a harder then what I thought.

Also I have had more bad morning and trying to get

ready seems like a chore with in itself. Always getting migraines

almost passing out if I don't eat. Then getting ear infections puts

me down for another couple of weeks. It is no fun being sick

and pregnant. I would rather have one or the other.

Another reason why I didn't take the job. It doesn't pay enough

and I'd only be working part time. Kenton and I realized I'd only

be working till I have the baby. I don't think they will give me a long

pregnancy leave. Also I don't think I want to send my new born to

day care. I have always wanted to be there for my kids.

Plus I don't trust most girls. I was a nanny. I have seen a lot of

nannies. I don't want my baby to have neglect or abuse.

Asking family to help part time seemed like a chore with-in

it's self. I'd want to only ask them to babysit, only if Kenton

and I needed a babysitter so we could do a date night, or

something like that. I was also thinking about if I worked in

the evening and kenton worked in the morning. Then we would

be like those parents that never really communicate because while

one is sleeping the other one is working. That didn't sound appealing

to me. We will see if something else comes up. Just to

answer questions... No I can not work with a new born in the

house and juggle the job and baby all at once by myself.

It might be a job from home, but I still have to have the room

quiet and I can't say "I'm sorry miss can i put you on hold

I have to take care of my crying baby? I'm sorry for all that

crying in your ear". You don't do that for

reservations for a plane company. That's not professional!

I've had a few people

tell me that I could still work while tending a baby.

umm... Then you do it with your own kids and you go

work for them. Sounds good to me.

On my twenty week mark I was expecting a celebration

from my husband like flowers or something.

With him saying "YAY! we are half way there, good job

mommy to be". Then I released I

have an over active mind that is way too romantic sometimes.

Kenton doesn't do romantic things unless it's valentines

day. I live in a reality! The real world. Plus I had a migraine

that could kill if it really wanted too. I was dizzy and stayed

on the couch the whole day. Go figure! Good thing I have

my thoughts that are attached with how great the day

could have been. I like the thoughts better then reality

sometimes. Day dreaming is the best...

I should get off the computer and get ready for the day.

I have a few things planned and I'm not going to be able

to get them done sitting on here typing away.

I will up load some more soon. Sorry if pregnancy

seems bad sometimes. Everyone is different and we

all have different challenges with our pregnancies.

Not to worry I'm excited to be a mommy to my little boy.
