04-10-2008 - 2nd Trimester

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Okay, some websites say the 2nd trimester starts week 14, but some say week 13 so I will go with that. I'm grateful that God has gotten me this far, the risk of miscarriage goes way down. I'm still tired, and I feel fat. I just wear sweatpants all the time. I can wear my maternity pants but I dont have long enough shirts to wear and the maternity shirts just make me look way fatter than neccessary since my belly doesnt really look pregant. And I have my 10yr class reunion in a week and I have nothing to wear!!!!! I feel like I will need to wear a sign that says, "I'm pregnant! Not just fat!" At this point I'm about 12lbs heavier than when I graduated HS. Thats not bad since this will be my third kid. But my thighs are like waayy bigger. I'm not as toned as I was in HS. I played sports back then.
We are in the middle of a huge project here. My wonderful hubby is building a much needed addition onto our house. Currently we just have two small bedrooms and the kids are sharing, but Isabel is getting too tall for her toddler bed. No room to put twin beds in their room. And our room is so filled with stuff that we'd have to hang a baby cradle from the ceiling. So yeah, an addition is needed. Only problem is, or two biggest problems is money and time. My husband is a contractor and he is busy building everyone elses houses and he works on ours in the evening and with the days getting shorter he cant get as much done. And we have about half the amount of money we need to get the addition livable. But you know what, God is good and he has always provided for us. I cannot worry. We have wonderful people from church that are willing to help out. And somehow it will get done.
And maybe we'll be blessed with a new car before April. Yikes, definitely need a minivan to fit three car seats. I've tried in the sedan but car seats just dont fit.
I'm just blabbing on but overall, my worries are minor. I am healthy and the baby is growing and I have a wonderful family and we've never suffered more than we can handle.
