Before I even start this blog post...I want to point out that I am having a VERY long week and a very crabby week. Not really anything has gone wrong, it has nothing to do with the pregnancy except the fact that it's all I can think about. I also want to point out that I know it will get better and all this and I am just in a funk....Like my friend Jess said to me today, that I am the only one that can pull me out of this funk....So I appreciate all the support that I know many of you will give me, but please don't be upset if I don't jump at the advice right away....
I am now officially 23 weeks and closer to the end then the beginning. Heartburn has been kicking in full force this past week, in fact I had to go buy more tums, only because I don't like the green & yellow flavors in the pack we have :) But other than that the pregnancy is going really well. She is moving like crazy. We get to see her again on Monday! I am super excited about that. Since I am farther along it will be nice to see how big she has gotten.
As for my funk I have trouble on a day to day basis of focusing on anything that does not include the baby. At work it's the worse, which is why home life is still fun because I can do things that have to get done for the baby....At work without going into too much boring detail, I have switched roles and not quite feeling the new role yet. It's still a bit vague and I am on a project that I am still trying to get my head wrapped around. I know it's my perfectionism coming through and I just have to let go. I have things that I have to get done and I just have to do them and not worry about them being perfect, because they probably still will be.
I have way too much on my list to research for the baby, between the breast pumps, the size diapers I am going to need and all the other things. I have to find a pediatrician, I want to take a CPR class before the little one comes, and then there is Day care. We have our first tour with the Eden Prairie Montessori school on Friday and then next Thursday with Primrose which is close to our place. I have to start calling around to some other places that are in home so I can make the decision. We will probably go talk to some of the in-homes in May. So we can make the decision of an in-home vs a center. I think we have decided not to go with a center like New Horizon's or Kinder Care, just because they are the same price in our area as the Montessori schools, so why not just put our child there, plus they are closer.....
I just want this week to be over, I want us to get the dressers and the gliders ordered, the border and the closet system up and see my little one on Monday. Hoping tomorrow and next week is better than today!

I remember being stressed and in a funk a few weeks ago we had no leads on daycare and I was still struggling with my maternity leave paperwork. It was only until last week when I hit 29 weeks that things started to fall into place. We found a great in-home daycare center that is licensed, affordable and only 5 minutes from our home. Once I found that my stress calmed down. We also found our pediatrician and I got my maternity leave all worked out. It took awhile to get these things in place. I am just slowly checking things off my list every week. Everything will fall into place very soon I know it will. Have a wonderful ultrasound we don't see our baby girl until late-May so I can't wait to hear how much your baby has grown. Sending you lots of hugs! You look great!
Thanks so much! I Know I just need to calm down. a friend of mine stopped by my desk today and she helped me, and another one called me and I forgot I just need to take it one piece at a time and it will work itself out rather than look at the entire picture :)
