Update On Life

Wow, what a week it has been. I would love to say that we are completely settled into our new apartment, but we aren't. We are close, but not done. Which is a true sign that I am just exhausted lately because if I were completely up to speed, I would have had everything done by Tuesday. :) However, I am learning that being pregnant means you can't do it all at once, and as fast as normal. The kitchen and the bedroom were done Monday, which was nice. And since then the only thing I've really done is fold the blankets that were on the floor in the baby/guest room room and put the crib together. However, in the midst of all of that I messed my back up pretty bad. So I haven't been able to do much else. David picked up the family room yesterday and it is so nice to have an organized family room. So really, the only thing left is to get the baby/guest room organized and the bathroom stuff put away. Hopefully by Tuesday I will have that done and all of the pictures up everywhere. Then I can take pictures and post them here on our blog. But, in reality, it might not happen until the end of next week. We'll see!
David has completed his first week of real world work. He loves it. There is a lot of learning involved, but he is just soaking it all in. It's a different world for him now working an 8-5 job, but he is so happy, which makes me happy. He is able to come home for lunch everyday, so I am glad to see him then. I have become the BEST of friends with our croc pot. I love having dinner totally ready when David comes home, and I'm not rushing to get stuff done. :)
Physically this week has been a hard week for me. In addition to my back hurting pretty bad, it has just kept me up all night. Thursday night I was up from about 3:00 until 5:00, around 4:30 I just started crying on the couch because I was so tired and hurt so badly. So I go and crawl back into bed and David kind of wakes up and asks if I'm okay. In my crying voice I said no and he Shot RIGHT out of bed and asked what's wrong. I felt bad because I know he thought something was wrong with the baby, so I quickly said my back hurt so bad and I was SO tired. He laid down with much relief and then rubbed my back for a few minutes. I felt so bad though, poor guy thought it was something awful! I have also been getting really bad charly horses/cramps on my outer thigh area, and towards the end of the week I have been getting really bad butt cramps in the mornings. So I don't know what's going on. I am drinking more water per the advice of my sister-in-law Tomica and that seems to be helping with the charly horse/cramps in my legs, but my butt still cramps up. So, when we go to the Dr. this week I'll have to ask her about all of this because I have been SUPER testy lately and I don't know how long David can handle it! :)
Other than all that, life is good. We are SUPER excited to find out what the baby is! I am ready to go shopping and start getting ready for this child. :) Stay tuned, I'll post as soon as we know!
