03-6-2009 - 25 Weeks . . .

My mood while writing this blog: Stressed.

---

My husband and I have been trying to make a decision on whether or not to buy a new (used) bigger vehicle. We currently have 2 cars but one of them is paid off. We have been debating whether or not to take on another car payment. We will have to babies, my daughter will only be 13 months old when this one is born and are worried about fitting 2 carseats, the double stroller, diaper bags, etc., into our little car. Plus, I have concerns about how long the paid off car will last. It has 150,000 miles on it. We were looking into getting a van and even found a really good deal on one. But I think that we've decided to wait it out. We are going to try to squeeze into our tiny car and hope that the other one holds up as long as possible. I figure that as long as we can hold off on adding on another car payment, we should. I hope that this is the right decision. I have concerns that we will get to a point where our car dies and we will have to buy one quickly and might not get as good of a deal as we will by looking around for awhile. What do you ladies think?

Otherwise, things are going good. I feel huge for 25 weeks but I hear that's common in the second pregnancy. And I've been quite stressed out lately, I'm not sure why. I think it's just overwhelming to think that we will have another baby in just a few months. Add into that exhaustion, hormones, and mom guilt over how my older baby will handle it, and I'm just a mess. I am excited about my doctor's appt. next week though. I finally get another ultrasound to see if my placenta is moving up. So I'm crossing my fingers for that. If it's moved, I will be allowed to start running on my treadmill again. I have been a runner for years and I run every morning before work. I haven't been allowed due to the placenta previa and I've really noticed a change in the way I feel both physically and emotionally. I've heard that exercise can help raise people's moods and they even recommend it to people who suffer with depression. So I'm wondering if taking it out of my life when my body is so used to it is what's making me feel stressed and icky all the time.

I was on hospital bedrest and now I'm on home bedrest so my hubby took off from work until we have these kids. We have cash in the bank, but no income right now and we just sold my Monte Carlo because we are expecting twins and have a 15 month old. My hubby drives an explorer. We decided to hold off on a van until he's back to work and the twins are at least a month or two old. I figure, where the hell am I going to go with twins and a toddler after having a c-section? I'm going to be exhausted. We just didn't want to continue to drain accounts while he was off work. If you can get both carseats in there, and a double stroller, I would hold off too. I think its a smart idea. I know what you mean about no exercise. I worked out 4-5 times a week and had to end that at 14 weeks. It sucks. It seems that lately, all I can think about is delivering, getting back on a 'diet' and starting my workout regime all over. It's going to be so rough after being on bedrest for so long. I hope I still know how to run!!!!
