Weeks that is. Hard to believe I'll be 31 years old when he is born. Seems like a late start, but not too late. I guess in that regard, timing wasn't all that bad. Everything else, timing has been awful!
We have told the girls they are going to have a baby brother. So far, they seem really excited! We'll see if it lasts. I feel bad that I can only handle so much of them right now. It's just very overwhelming! It doesn't help that I've not been well lately. This pregnancy has greatly exacerbated my Sacroiliac Joint pain/dysfunction. If you don't know what that is, it's pretty much like someone is stabbing you in the back (to the right or left of your tailbone) every time you move. It got to the point of not being able to walk without great pain. At the moment, it has improved...I hope it stays that way. I think being able to rest this past weekend helped. The doc gave me some painkillers, but I was/am hesitant to take them. They made me sick and who knows really what they are doing to the baby. So...I only use those when it is necessary.
I must mention the heat. It is unbearable! I knew summer would be a problem (it usually is sans pregnancy). Yesterday the heat index was over 112...mostly because of humidity. The temp was in the 90's though...still very hot! Today is not better...and looking at the forecast next week is going to be worse. WORSE?! Yeah, I'm staying inside as much as possible. I'm already cooking a baby, I don't want to cook myself too.
Money issues are as usual - tight. We are doing ok right now, though. My mother, she has been such a help to me (us). She is tough, but she has really come through. Thank God for her and everyone else who has helped us. It makes life a little bit easier, and boy could I use some easy right now!
Baby shower is next month. I'm nervous, really not used to all that attention...nor do I care for it. I am very appreciative of all those who come, though. I didn't even know I knew that many women! Jonathon's mother has invited a couple people and my brain is too stupid to remember them. :( I know I met them memorial day, but I am awful with names. She didn't take that well. I can't win.
The divorce decree is finally written. That took WAY too long. Now we just have to get his (soon to be) ex to agree to it then finalize it. It will be nice to have that over with...though I know it will never really be over. I just want him to not be married to someone else when our boy comes. Insurance-wise, it works out best that we won't be married yet, though. Sad but true.
Our baby is still a no-name. Nothing seems to fit! We know we want the initials to be JTB. We just don't know the first name yet. We need to stop asking other people and just come up with something ourselves, if they don't like it - too bad. I'm already compromising by giving him a J name. Julian? Joel? Jude? They don't like those. I still like Joshua, even if it's not unique. I hate to wait until he's born.
I still love Jonathon to pieces. Things get frustrating and sometimes he doesn't help, but overall he has been wonderful lately. I can tell we love each other so much. It's going to get harder, but I think we have what it takes to get through it. <3
