On a positive note, Hov's interviews went really well. We'll see what they have to say but apparently the gentlemen were giving each other little looks throughout the interview and Hov was very proud of his performance as he should have been. I caught a glimpse of his interview "notes", a couple pages jam packed with questions for each interviewer and notes on the business itself and definitions of terms he didn't know. I have to be honest, I haven't seen him this involved and dare I say excited about a work related thing ever. I'm glad it went well. I truly am. Now we wait... UPDATE: Hov got the job! Our biggest hope and my biggest fear has been simultaneously realized. Yay? This is a great career move for him but he starts on the 23rd... In two weeks. That means I'm going to be by myself up here. I'm not looking forward to that and I am REALLY not looking forward to moving to Miami. I hate it there. Hate. Hate. Hate. Miami=stress. Why can't our family all just move up here? That would be so much better. Freaking Miami ruins my life.
On the downside- his car wouldn't turn on and of course we couldn't figure out where the battery came from so $130 later the old Mazda has a new battery. If we win the lottery first thing on the list is to get him a safe and reliable car. This whole living paycheck to paycheck thing isn't working out for me. I know I shouldn't complain, we are fortunate enough to be able to pay all our bills and have enough for gas and groceries and little wants here and there but the 1k in student fees every semester and any new thing that comes up just throws up for a loop. It's frustrating. Frustrating and scary, especially since this little monkey is coming soon. Grad school salary is not working for me. There comes another frustrating part of this week- trying to write and not be distracted. I am swimming in papers I need to reference and it's quite overwhelming.
My belly has popped out and won't go back in. I'm having issues. I'm feeling bloated and uncomfortable. I've been working out faithfully and I've been eating pretty well but I still feel like I just swallowed a tub of lard and washed it down with a bacon grease smoothie. Gross. I feel gross. Not to mention the acne is back. Yay. All this coupled with Tallahassee 1000 degree weather and I haven't been in a great mood. Walking from my car to the office or back makes me sweat which of course leads to a very interesting aroma by the end of the day. It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't so dang tired all the time but I'm perpetually exhausted. My insomnia has me up every morning like at 4am and of course that means by 5pm I'm dying for bed and it's a good day if I make it until 9:30-10 before crashing.

| Officially a bump! |
The saving grace has been Hov. He really has been clutch. Doesn't matter if I just want food or a punching bag, he's been there. I've still been on a taco kick although that's fading. I had been trying to eat oatmeal for breakfast but it makes me gag now. So gross. All my frozen kit-kat bars are gone. Hov ate them all. There were 12 to begin with and I had one. ONE. Then he had the nerve to get "mad" at me for bringing it into the house. He better watch out before something bad happens to him... And he better replace my kit-kats. Also, I discovered Luigi's frozen ice (mango flavor) and it's absolute heaven. All things mango are still on the menu. UPDATE: I bought 12 more kit-kats, any guesses on how many I'll actually get from this stash?
This week the baby is supposed to be the size of a lemon. I'm not sure how we went from peach to lemon because to me a peach is bigger but what do I know. I have my next visit on the 10th but there isn't an ultrasound so I guess we won't know if the baby is back on track (growth wise) since we changed the due date until the October visit where they do the big ultrasound. Based on my growth, I would say yes but that could be all the food I'm eating. I weighed myself today and I still haven't really gained any weight but I guess things are just rearranging themselves. We'll see what the doctor has to say next week.
Ending on a super positive note- the bleeding has officially 100% stopped. It only took a month but at least it's over. We are so thankful for that. The doctors swear by "pelvic rest" and would probably have me on that for the duration of my pregnancy but so far being gentle with the pelvis has been good enough.
