Our first week out!

Time to PLAY!!!
Or so I thought...I had way more errands to run that I had planned. Every. single. day. this week we have done something that lasted the better part of the day.
Monday = Costco & lunch with Ian.
Tuesday = Lowes, work to see PR so I could finish processing out, & visited with Rebecca (who was nice enough to buy us lunch).
Wednesday = Dr's appt, get Ethans glasses fixed, lunch with Jared, & ice cream.
then.....
Thursday = stay home to clean and relax
Friday = Harry Potter and kettle corn here we come!

I had my 5 month appointment today and Ethan got to hear the heartbeat. Everything was normal. They think I may have another mild bladder infection...yuck, I hate antibiotics! But as long as the baby and I are safe that is all that matters. He/She is moving and kicking like crazy. Ethan is in love with the idea of baby, he read on week 19 the baby can hear when you are talking so when we were shopping at Kohls he kept making me stop so he could talk to the baby. "Hey buddy...Hey dude...Hey baby...How are you doing in there" Pretty cute stuff! I've only gained like 8-10 lbs, so I think that is okay.

Ethan and I had our first treat at Leatherby's and filled up on ice cream while we waited for them to finish his glasses. He got two scoops 1 Banana nut and 1 Rocky Road. I had the same but my old time fav's Chocolate Chip and Mint Chocolate Chip. It was very yummy and better than that it was COLD. I hate the summer time already and we are only half way into it.

**The only good reason for summer = it's to hot to eat full meals or anything heavy = no pigging out on account of baby!

Ugh....

The last two weeks have been a little rough. Work is coming to an end and the job hunt is on. Not that I really want to work but I need to have something in the works. I had one interview that went very well and another job lined up that I really like. We are still waiting on the final word from Jared's work to see if they will pick him up for the fall or not. So it's a waiting game for both of us and neither of us is very patient right now.
I'm not sure if it's due to my belly growing or stress or a combination of both. But I've had the worst aches and pains..they were bad enough on Thursday to go to urgent care. Then as soon as I got there they stopped...typical, right? It takes a lot for me to go to the doctor, but I figured it's better to be safe then sorry. Needless to say the doctor said that my aches were due to everything stretching and growing and the tests they ran came back clean. So now knowing what "normal" aches and pains feel like they are wearing me down. It feels like the baby is stretching out and is sticking whatever limbs where ever they will go. My back hurts and I get cramps off and on. I go to my doctor next week and will definitely mention it. But holy crapola...I don't remember it doing this the first time around????? I've been trying to take it easy and lay down as much as possible and that does seem to help.
