This has been a tough week for me. Hov left on Saturday (9/28) to Miami to start his job. He was at home during the week last week which was lovely since I got to spend a lot of time with him as soon as I got home. He had dinner waiting for me just about every night and I adored it. Friday night we went out to celebrate our friend Brooke's birthday and then Saturday we packed him up and he left. It was so surreal. It didn't feel like he was going anywhere all week, and even as we were packing his things it didn't really feel like he was leaving. It wasn't until it was all packed and we looked at each other to say goodbye that the tears started flowing on both ends. All his clothes fit in his car and really that's all he had to take, I stocked him up with toiletries and dried goods to eat but since he moved into his dad's house it was a relatively easy move I suppose. Archie sat by the door for hours, totally understand little guy...
As far as the baby goes, lots of movement. Doesn't feel like what I thought it would feel. I mean I don't feel kicks like a bump inside or anything, it's more like a rolling around feeling that is happening. Kind of weird but nice at the same time. The belly is coming along more and more. Officially have gained 4 pounds since getting pregnant. None of my bras fit anymore but I'm trying to not buy anything so the soft yoga-ish type sports bras have been nice but those are getting pretty small too.
This week the baby is the size of a sweet potato and he/she is yawning, hiccuping, sucking and swallowing already. I have the next appointment with the big ultrasound next Monday the 7th. I'm kind of nervous, last ultrasound they told me the baby was small and that's why they changed the due date. I hope that's all it was and it isn't an issue but they said they wouldn't know until this one where they do all the measurements. I still don't want to know the sex so hopefully they'll be able to keep that a secret without too much trouble. My dad is flying in on Saturday to come to the appointment. Having some company is really nice but it's not the same as having my husband there. At least with my dad there I can have him take video so we can send it to Hov as soon as it happens.
In other good news, my wedding band finally came in. it actually came the day before Hov left which for some reason made me feel a lot better. I love love love how it looks.
I tried to get a close-up but it got blurry, and my hands look super wrinkly. Anyway, I'm really happy with it and I'm really glad it got here before Hov left. Also, today we send out the first batch of pregnancy announcements. We addressed as many as we could and I'll take them to the post office today. I'm still waiting on a bunch of addresses to send to the rest of the people we want to send to. Trying to get addresses from my family is like pulling teeth. The last thing that is left for me to do to finish up is go change my name. I think I'll do that next week since I have to take the day off for all these appointments anyway. Social security office here I come!!
Now that Hov isn't here, I'll be spending my nights trying to be as productive as possible writing my dissertation to get out of this god forsaken program. I'm so ready to leave.
