22 weeks:
First off, while I'm thinking about it. I posted on my board that I am in desperate need of a recipe for nutrolls. I guess it depends on where you are from if you know what I'm talking about. The ones made with walnuts. Thanks!
Ok, onto the pregnancy. Well, another week is done and as it says, I'am 22 weeks. Hard to believe that I have 18 weeks at the most to go. It seems like it is going really fast.
I still am not 100% rid of this nasty cold and infection. This makes 2 full weeks now that I have had it, but it is almost all gone.
This little guys is still very active. Although he has been causing his mamma a little discomfort lately. As I said in earlier posts he loves to squeeze down into the bottom of my pelvic area as far as he can. Well now that he is getting bigger it really causes me to have pains and cramping. I told my husband the other night I think he is trying to get out already. Lord, I hope not. But he surely can't go any further down without actually coming out! I guess this is why that sub-m/w said I had better get me some support. You know I have a pair of those underbelly maternity pants, anyone seen them? I think motherhood has them, but I found some at JCPenney. Anyway, they actually feel pretty good and do support some, much like the support briefs would the m/w told me about.
Also, we have been starting to think about names for this little guy. There are a couple that I really like, but my husband is liking some really different ones than I would pick. So, we have a long way to go yet.
On the family front, I'm having a pretty rough time right now. I guess you could say I have a pretty heavy heart right now.
In accordance with the courts, I cannot have my children for Christmas Day this year. Actually it has been supposed to be this way, every other year for several years now. But, my ex has never wanted them because he hasn't ever bought them anything for Christmas since he moved out. Not that that is what Christmas is all about, but it is about some giving to those you love and a Happy time. He has taken them the next day or later in the day, but the kids hated to go and leave their things.
I have tried to look at it positively though. This is the first Christmas my husband and I have been married, and it will just be the 2 of us(3 if you count the little guy inside), for the 1st one after all, as it is with many new couples.
My children knew they were going with their father after they get out of school Friday, but it was horrible seeing their faces the other night when they realized they wouldn't be here with us Christmas morning. I'm not sure I ever really came out and told them they wouldn't be here that morning, just how long they would be staying. It about crushed my heart. I just can't imagine not having my children there on Christmas morning. After all it has been my children there for 11 yrs.
It just won't be the same without them. And without any family around, except my husband.
The other positive way I'am trying to look at it, is that next year we will be in our new house with our new baby and we then will all be together as a family for Christmas, and Thanksgiving.
Well I probably won't post again until after Christmas, so I wish you all a wonderful Christmas with your families and loved ones.
May GOd bless every one of your lives!
