Nothing new going on, but I figured I'd blog just because. I like reading everyone elses and keeping current. Still don't have my glucose test results, they're supposed to be online, not that i know what i was looking at short of yay/nay. Baby is kicking pretty well. I've only worked out 5 times in the last two weeks, just don't feel like it. He is also more active when I'm not, but there's got a be a balance. You can also see my tummy move from the outside. It's pretty funny. I think he's flipping over, because the kicks are less in my pelvis and more level with my belly button.

I'm really glad we put together the basketball pool. I hate the Memphis/Duke etc all went out but it makes for some good games. I think there could be a UNC - UofL final.

So like I said I like to blog sometimes because it allows me to get thoughts out to you all. That being said, as I prepare for this huge change in my life, I have a lot of thoughts. Some are irrational and most are just thoughts. I know I'm not going to be alone, but of course it crossed my mind. I know Rick will be here as will Mom. Assuming it's here. My sisters are being so helpful and kind and I really appreciate it and feel more prepared having talked to hem so much.

So options are:
  • Move West May 1st. Drive across country with Rick, stay in LV. Deliver there. Rick can visit from Carlsbad often. Not an option really that early. I plan on coaching thru May 20.
  • Move west May 20. Same thing but hurry out there somewhere 8.5 months pregnant. Someone would have to drive with me. We would need to find a rental place and he would leave in September, therefore I move again. I know that area is probably amazing and I could keep busy, but why not stay where I know it and like it.
  • Deliver here. stay here as long as I want.
  • Move to Greensboro whenever. Deliver there or move after birth.

I know I can shack up with the kid in GSO, or Chapel Hill or LV or even San Mateo and Timberlake. Timing is going to be whatever I want and I feel like if I don't like something - too bored, for example. I can move. I really do want to stay in DC, but it is a bit overwhelming winging it long term, basically alone.

I have lots of options and a wonderful family and am honestly not worried. I like my alone time and am rather self sufficient. I know I don't know what I'm up for and want help for sure, but we are not poor or alone, so it will be fine. I just need to make up my mind and keep health insurance active basically.

Have a great weekend all.

    first, i like the colorful new layout.
    second, i like your 'tude. one thing that always help me stay centered is to think about all the women all over the world who have babies. kind of like when I was learning to drive--all these people who are way dumber than me can do it, I can do it.
    third, if you want my vote, I gotta say, let Rick come to you for the birth (if he's allowed). I definitely wouldn't want to see you drive across country at 8.5 months pregnant, with or without someone else. I think you need time to find a dr and get to know a dr and get set for a baby and you'll be tired.
    wherever you are, tho, women with new babies make friends easily with other women with new babies because there is so much to talk about and so many questions. the friendships might not last, but they'll be invaluable for at least the first year.
