Well, I haven't posted in forever! Mainly because I spent almost my entire summer adventuring around the world! My husband and I went on an epic summer vacation which included a mediterranean cruise to Italy, Greece, Turkey, Israel and Egypt. It was the adventure of a lifetime. I am so glad we went, definitely the type of vacation that we won't be able to do (or afford) bringing along kids! Plus, now I can tell our little one that while you were in my belly I rode a camel at the pyramids!!! Lots of people might say that doing such crazy things while pregnant isn't good, but I say f*ck that! My first pregnancy I was crazy strict perfectionist about everything, wouldn't even take my dog for a walk if it was a little snowy out, and that ended in heartbreak, so clearly living life on eggshells doesn't prevent tragedy it just makes your life pass you by while you are waiting for the good stuff to happen. After our trip we also went to my hometown for a few weeks to relax and hang out with my family.
As for our little one......he is doing great! That's right, it's a boy! We found out mid-August! We haven't told anyone that we know, everytime someone asks us we just tell them we are not finding out. My husband really wanted to know and I didn't have the willpower to resist lol! The reason we aren't sharing that information with our family and friends is because we both really wanted that moment of announcing his sex and name to everyone after the delivery. We haven't decided on a name yet though!
I was pretty nervous for how our little one was doing after our trip because I wasn't feeling a whole lot of movement, but the ultrasound revealed that I have an anterior placenta which can muffle the feeling of movements. Now that I am a few weeks further along (26 today!) I can feel the movement much better and it is very comforting!
I haven't been working much at all, this year I am a substitute teacher. There have been a lot of cutbacks in our school system so there were no permanent of temporary jobs available so they placed me on the sub list. Being early in the school year I haven't been working most days as teachers aren't really going off sick or scheduling appointments etc. yet. The extended vacation has been kind of nice. Luckily my husband has a good job so we can financially handle it, but not working means not getting paid and my salary definitely helps us afford the fun stuff in life, like dinners out and epic summer vacations, so hopefully things pick up again soon!
Hope all is well with everyone out there in internet land! I hope to update more regularly now that fall is here and my fun summer travel has come to an end!
