19 weeks

I can't believe this pregnancy is almost halfway through.  I feel like I have had zero time to enjoy it, between all of the testing up through 13 weeks and now with work being so busy and M working lots of overtime.  It's difficult to stop and smell the roses and just relax.  It is definitely difficult being pregnant with a 15 month old running around non stop.   I can't play and roll around with him like I want to.  I am definitely getting bigger...but got on the scale yesterday and I'm only up around 8 lbs from starting weight.  That is definitely good compared to last time!

A few weeks ago we had our upstairs hardwood floors finished and moved Luke into the big boy room.  I am 6 weeks into an area rug search for the hallway and our master bedroom.  This feels like the granite fiasco just before Luke was born- at least I didn't wait until I was 30 weeks pregnant to start this task!  Next week an electrician is coming to install a new ceiling fan in our bedroom and a ceiling fan with light in Luke's new big boy bedroom (that didn't have a fan before).  Luke is officially all set up with his new big boy room and decor!

I am scheduled to go to my brand new (but old) OBGYN this week.  I am excited to hear what they have to say about VBAC and they come highly recommended from doula Nikki.  I also let day care know to hold a spot for me in August 2014 for this new little bundle!  We have day care, pediatrician, hospital, doula all arranged! I think I just have to order the furniture and the cord blood kit and we are all good.   Although, now that I'm thinking about it, I'll probably need a double stroller, another diaper genie and to transition Luke into a toddler carseat so the baby can have the other car seat.  Man, maybe I do need a list after all...I was thinking this one was so much easier because we did everything and have everything already...

I feel the little guy kicking in there every couple of days.  I can't remember if I felt more last time, but sometimes I have to doppler because I get nervous.  My appetite has been very weird lately, I'm not really that hungry or craving much of anything.  I only eat because I have to- not because I necessarily want anything.  If you can believe it, I don't even care that much if I have sweets or ice cream.  I am not sure if it's because I'm busy with a toddler, but there's not a whole lot of time for mama to eat.  I think I need to outsource food preparation ;)
