16 Weeks

It’s been a month since I posted….where does the time go?


Two weeks ago was a bit challenging for me. My son got sick with a stomach bug and shared it with me. With being pregnant and my immune system not as strong as normal, of course I would get it. I was sick one day and fine the next. One night I got really sick so went to the doctor to check on the baby as I was getting scared. Sweetpea was still going strong, thankfully. It took a while to want to eat normal again but am feeling so much better. I had my 16 week appointment on Wednesday and was the same weight as I was at 12 weeks. I was sick so I’m not going to worry about it though I know I need to start gaining. I’ve gained about 6 pounds so far.

I’m still so tired. By the end of the day after working all day, taking care of Liam at night, and doing a few house chores, I’m wiped out. I’ve been in bed by 8:30 most nights. If I could I would love to sleep all day. If only that were possible!

I’ve been under some stress which I know isn’t good. We had our condo under contract and found out 2 weeks before closing that they didn’t qualify for financing. It’s a long story but they in essence came back with a new offer that would make us lose $9K. We had to walk away (did so this morning). Last night I was a mess emotionally. I went to bed at 7:45 without eating dinner. I know stress and not eating isn’t good for this baby but I was at a breaking point last night. My emotions were all over the place and all I wanted to do was lie in bed and cry. We’ve endured so much in this whole housing process. The thought of continuing to pay two mortgages is scary, especially with another baby on the way. We had hoped to close on the condo and start saving some for the baby along with getting some stuff done around the new house. I try not to stress about it but it’s not that easy.

I’m looking forward to May 17th when we find out the sex of Sweetpea! I can’t wait to know!
