Soooo, for about a week now, my back has hurt like crazy on the left side down near the bone. I started sleeping with a pillow between the knees and that seems to help, but I also got really lazy with the excuse of "taking it easy". Back to the grindstone today though. I have cleaning to catch up on and projects around the house to complete and a lot less time than I think I have until 4 September when I start my new job. I'll be gone to Indiana for a bit and then to Europe. Busy busy Amy.
Brian is still doing school. I think he is surprising himself since he didn't do well in high school. It isn't like he couldn't have done well in HS, he just didn't try. So he got an A in pre-calc and surprising even himself I think, he got a 100% on his final! I can tell he is very proud of himself, but he hasn't told many others. I think he feels like it is bragging too much. Personally, I am very proud of him. I love watching him do something he enjoys/wants to do.
Mika got a wading pool for the back yard yesterday. She loves it! She just goes and lays down in the water to cool off when we are outside. She is hilarious though because she can be sitting in water almost up to her head and she won't let you spray her with the hose. Also, she still hates the vacuum. I'm deep vacuuming today (couches, pillows, dusting curtains, etc) and she looks like the most pitiful thing ever. We did make a cushion fort for her though. Brian took a pic but I don't have a copy yet or I would post it.
Speaking of pictures. I have tried to start taking belly pictures. But I hate them. All of them. Brian promises I don't look stupid, but I don't believe him yet. I'll keep trying to find a place and a stance that doesn't make me look weird. Hopefully by Saturday at 15 weeks I can find one and actually have a bump to show you. I can finally feel the fundus (top of uterus), but I just look bloated still. I'm still around my start weight though. I'm not sure when that will change since I'm eating a lot. Like 2pm, 7pm, 1am snacks. Maybe I just can't eat as much at a time and that is the difference. I do know that my body forces me to stop when I get full. Maybe I don't have as much room in there anymore with everything squishing around. Oh, and let me just say...I'm kind of angry about the 1am snacks (sometimes 3am snacks too). I'm tired before that. I turn off the TV and the phone and the computer. Normally I'm asleep in about 5-10 minutes. NOPE! Sometimes an hour later I'm still there. I rarely have problems getting to sleep, so this is probably the most annoying change that has happened so far. I am not looking forward to when baby can punch, kick, and roll where I can feel it and it keeps me awake. Ok, enough rambling! Back to vacuuming.
