Here's a new picture of me from today! I'm 25 weeks along now. In the last two weeks, I've gotten so much bigger! I think it might be all the pancakes I've been eating... ;-) Tyler seems to be growing big and strong. His kicks and punches are a lot more noticeable now. I can tell he's getting bigger, because I can feel him moving around even when he's just wiggling. We go to the doctor again next week to have him checked. So far, everything is going well. Our last doctor's visit, she said I'm not gaining enough weight. I lost quite a bit of weight at the very beginning, and I'm slowly gaining some of that back, but I'm still weighing in less than what my pre-pregnancy weight was. But she said that as long as everything else is good, and I'm still healthy, the weight gain isn't such a huge issue. (Thank goodness!!)
In other news, we're trying to find a way for me to be able to be a stay-at-home-mom. We can't really afford daycare, and having family watch the baby isn't always an option, so we're looking into how to reduce our bills in order for me to be able to stay at home. Couponing has become a neccessity, but I'm getting pretty good at it. I've even been able to get enough things for free lately that we could donate a bag of hygene supplies to a "Support the Troops" drive. We're also cooking more at home and reducing the amount we spend for spur-of-the-moment things that we don't really need. Hopefully, by December, we'll have a plan worked out so I can quit and stay at home with Tyler!
Right now, just being pregnant and trying to keep up with work and all the household chores is enough for me. It seems like anytime I sit down for longer than 10 minutes, I fall asleep. haha. As soon as the weather cools off a bit, we're going to get our extra bedroom cleaned out (and mostly put in the garage for storage) and start getting the nursery ready! :)
