Waiting game…

Again sorry I am so bad about getting on here and even leaving notes lately. with the new job, arranging schedules, dealing with an almost 2 year old and preparing for our arrival of baby #2, it really seems like I have no time left where I just don’t want to sleep. also my main computer seems to want to be giving me network problems so all I have is either my phone or recently added to our technology in the house my husbands Motorola xoom, both of which have touch keyboards and are a pain to type on, though I am trying that tonight to at least get some kind of update.

new job, I was asked what I do. I am working at a bakery in the wrap department of our bread division. I basically watch bread come out of the cooler, make sure it doesn’t jam in the slicers, watch it go to the bagger, hope it doesn’t get crushed, watch it get tied and packed. now 90% of this is done by machines so should seem simple, but alas it is a lot of work, nothing ever seems to run like it should. we are constantly moving, cleaning, making checks and writing done numbers. since starting working there I have only had 1 maybe 2 weeks where we haven’t had to work extra hours or days due to needing to make up orders because of various reasons. I hate the job, the people are nice, but I will definitely be looking for something new soon. it is just hard to turn down any kind of job, especially one with the pay I am getting, at this point with the economy and us expanding our family.

layla, what to say about her, lol. she is getting so big so fast it seems! I definitely miss my time with her while I am working now, but know it is best for her in the long run too. her vocab is coming along. it seems we don’t have a lot of words but I am sure there are more then I can count, but she is very stubborn to say anything new. I am never worried about it because I know she understands most everything I say because she reacts to it, but she just doesn’t want to give you much of a conversation. it amazes me everyday what she learns and does, I love her with all my heart and can not remember how I ever lived without her. her 2nd birthday is just around the corner, and I hate that I really haven’t had the time to plan it as well as I would have liked. my sister is helping me out a lot and holding it at her and her boyfriends house and helping me with food, decorations and cake. I am trying to get a lot of it planned so if anything she mostly will just have to pick things up and set it up at her place. she is very understanding that I just wont be able to do a whole lot seeing as most likely I will have just had the new baby.

as for the new addition to come, that is literally any day now. we have our 39 week apt tomorrow, though the doc will say I am 40 weeks now. we have a difference of opinion in due dates based on different info, they go by last cycle, I went by conception and ultrasound. last week we were 2 cm dilated and 75% effaced, so we will see what progress if any has been made. I am already off work due to hot working conditions and stress because I lost 7 lbs in three weeks and of course at this stage they don’t like that. however the day I get off work for the most part the air conditioning in our apartment went out and it has taken them over a week to fix it, and it has been really hot here, so my apartment was ranging anywhere from 85-95 degrees. luckily my parents live nearby and have been gracious enough to let us all stay there as needed. we have today gotten our air back and it is finally feeling comfortable. which eases my mind now for bringing baby home. hopefully now we can get all final preps done before this one arrives.

my husband, he is amazing! he has been dealing with me this whole time, I cant stand heat normally let alone add being 9 months pregnant. he has been doing most of the preps for baby #2, like setting up the swing, cleaning the apartment regularly and anything else we came up with. he has spent a few nights in the extreme heat after working a full day to make sure several things were done. I couldn’t have asked for a better man. He really has been trying hard to do anything and everything. I wish though we had more time together then we have been getting, but both of us know that it is a necessary evil right now and it won’t stay that way forever.

As for me I am doing alright, I am very anxious to meet this new little one. I have been stressed with the new job and leaving my little one at home, but I am getting through it. I definitely look like I am pregnant and due anytime, more often then not I still get the comment am I sure I am not having twins, lol. Well, I think that is all for now. If you ever want to know anything just ask, I will try to get back to it as soon as possible, it might actually help me get on here to write more!! Hope all is well with everyone, hopefully I will catch up soon.
