I live in California with my husband and our two dogs and two cats. I am in my last year of graduate school and work with students on the autism spectrum. I am excited to finally be out of my first trimester!!

Trying to actually write something on my page, I've been inspired by all the changes on the site! I don't have any children yet but for some reason the site gave me a son named AJ....thanks for the kid lol!
I'm 25 weeks pregnant and so far nothing out of the ordinary, still have morning sickness but it has become more managable. I take 25 mg of B6 every 6 hours and drink lemonade around the clock. Plain water makes me sick! Because of this I have serious doubts I will pass my glucose test. Also gained an enormous amount of weight already thanks to a full stomach helping with the morning sickness. Other than this making me feel uncomfortably stretched out I couldn't care less, I 'm not worried about weight gain or stretch marks. As a friend told me, we live in a modern country and our babies have excellent chances of being healthy! Not being the perfect pregnant person is nothing to beat myself up about.

Well I went in last week for my glucose test, iron level, and RH test...all came back just fine. I guess at my next appt. I will learn when I will get the shot I need for the RH stuff. Still having morning sickness, in fact it got worse and now I am dry heaving again and constantly starving. Tried to set up an appt. with the nutrionist due to my excessive weight gain but I sort of figure what is the point, I'm constantly eating. It is getting very depressing, I am so tired of eating...Came home late last night and Gene had set up the crib, it looks so cute in the room! We also finally came up with a first AND middle name for our baby boy and I love it..I'm so attached and protective of him already. So nervous about doctors, vaccinations, sickness, childcare, everything. Guess I will just be a worrier!

I have alot more time to write and surf the internet since I have pretty much given up on finding a job. I work one day a week with an old student of mine, and wouldn't you know it's today and I have caught some kind of bug from somewhere. I feel so sick! I have three more weeks of grad work and then I am done for the rest of the pregnancy! hooray! I may continue working on one project but that is ok, it will keep me busy. I will also continue to volunteer at a couple of different schools for as long as I can.
Last night we went and picked up a used changing table for 25 dollars. I thought that was a pretty good deal! We are on a very tight budget since I haven't worked full time since March 1st, although not by choice! I would love a job! Is anyone else just completely done with being pregnant at this point? At night I have started having dreams that I am drinking beer. I wake up and feel really guilty! LOL.

Does anyone have a few good days followed by a few crappy days? I'll feel wide awake and energetic for a couple of days and then just crash for a couple of days. It seems to be hormone related because on my more tired days, my morning sickness is also worse.
We have gathered some random items here and there for the baby, but nothing too substantial. We have the crib, bassinette, a swing, and a snuggli carrier, as well as some clothes, blankets, and a few bottles. Most were free or donated, I love not spending an arm and a leg on new stuff! I am starting to feel more antsy about things, once my classes are done I plan on getting the room done as soon as posssible. Hopefully by the beginning of June.
I am really missing my family right now, they are all on the East Coast. I won't get to see anyone until September or October, and I haven't seen them since Christmas! It's been a blessing during the pregnancy because I am so moody and sick, no one would want to see me anyway, lol. But after the baby is here I know I would love to have my Mom and Dad right by my side to meet their grandchild and help me. Well it was my choice to move out here for school so this is just a part of that process. I miss NJ alot though, especially all of the greasy good food...and Wawas...lol

Well it's 100 degrees outside, our satellite tv's not working, and I didn't go to the library to get books like I said I would. It's going to be a fun night! Just reached 32 weeks. Today I spent some time with some young kids ages 3 and 4 and realized afterwards that I should be enjoying these last 8 weeks without kids! Normally I work with middle school and elementary age kids so this was a little closer to what my reality will be in a couple of months. I LOVE kids and have worked with all ages and varieties for many years now, but at the end of the day I always got to go home, relax with a beer, and not worry about anyone but myself! Even with all the horrible aches and pains I should at least appreciate my dwindling solidarity.
We have so much stuff now, mostly given to us for free or bought for a low price off craigslist. I haven't officially assessed wihat we still need but a good chunk is done. I think over the weekend I will start planning my hospital bag. I feel so blessed and today I just started talking to my stomach...I finally felt comfortable doing it. But then I almost cried so I had to stop!
