I have not blogged in a while, so I thought I'd catch up. We have been focusing on getting Tim healthy at home. Things have been going well. Tim feels a little better every day. He did get a nasty cold and also a staph infection. Those things are also on the mend. He goes back to see his surgeon on Tuesday to set a date to have his second surgery. This will get rid of his ileostomy. He will feel so much better after this. We have been praying that everything goes great. I am so thankful that this long battle looks to be coming to an end. It will have forever changed us.
I am doing ok with the pregnancy. I have gained 5 pounds. Which really means only one pound because I had initially lost 4! This is going exactly as I wanted it to. Although I have been a lot hungrier in the past few weeks. I am trying to continue to stay active and eat as healthy as I can. I am currently 23 weeks along. The only complaint I have is back and hip pain. It is an everyday ordeal for me. As the day goes on the pain gets worse. I have a lumbar support on my chair at work and I have a support belt that I wear. It seems nothing that I do helps the pain. I even get massages at school. Speaking of school I am going to be finished in about 7 weeks. Though this dies not sound like a long time, it sounds like an eternity to me. I love my new profession but being a massage therapist is hard on a pregnant mama. Probably one of the many reasons I have such bad back pain. After school I don't think I will be doing a ton of massages. After the baby is here I will pick things up.
We have a very busy week this week. School and work for me. Tim has to work and see his doctor this week. This weekend we will be celebrating our one year anniversary and Layne's 14th Birthday. We are not doing anything for our anniversary this month. Since Tim has been out of work, it's just not in the budget. So we will celebrate Layne's Birthday and Father's Day. Then next month we celebrate. The timing stinks but the important thing is we are still together and in love. We are going to be together forever to come and will have many more anniversary's.
We are finally going to start taking pictures of my belly next week. I will post them as soon as I have them.
