My mood while writing this blog: okay

Well today is my husband's 28th birthday and Tuesday was my 29th birthday. I guess I should update my profile. It feels weird to turn 29. When did that happen? Aren't I still 24ish?! I am stressed b/c we found out last week that my husband was invited to a program he didn't even apply for and we have decided to take the offer. This means we will be moving in 4 weeks from today! We have to sell our housing contract, find an apartment to live in though we are 12 hours away in a different state, etc...We also have to pack up our entire house and move 12 hours away just as I reach full term! The doctor doesn't want me traveling such a long distance at full term b/c driving can actually induce labor. (remember that ladies when you are wanting to get the baby out! Just drive around the block for a few hours like my husband said as a joke...kind of) And I have to make sure I will be covered by insurance in our new home state. We have been out of work for 3 months! We depleated our savings and ran up some debt too. We have to apply for student loans and I have to find a job as soon as I heal from having the baby. I have to get rid of half of our belongings b/c we can't afford to move all of our things. I don't know what to get rid of!

On a happy note I am healthy and the baby seems to be doing great. I have not gained as much weight this week either. I am excited my husband will further his education. He will be completing a BSN via an accelerated second degree program. Then after working as an RN for 1-2 years he will go back to school for a few more years and become a nurse practitioner. While he is getting his experience as an RN I will go back to school for 16 months. At least that is the plan. Then maybe 5-6 years from now we will finally be financially secure.

I think I have another UTI but I will find out for sure at my appointment on Monday. I wonder how much weight I have gained? I am not as worried (the key word being as) now that I am not in danger of gestational diabetes. My iron level had virtually not changed at all since becoming pregnant and the nurses all asked what I was eating! Anyway, enough random comments! Have a great week ladies!

Okay, so I talked to the other doctor in the practice and he says that the main concern with traveling in a car/airplane is blood clots! So, if i travel more than an hour i have to get out and walk around at least five minutes every hour. That will be 14 stops for me! We will have to split the trip up into a few days. The doc says if I am going to leave before the baby is born that the sooner the better b/c the bigger I get the more risky the trip will be. Great, right?

That would be so tough moving at a time like this! It sounds like it's going to be a positive move though... just really bad timing eh? lol You poor thing!
