I'm 30 weeks this week and I can't believe it! It seems like it has gone by so fast! My little Layla-bug will be here before we know it. I am feeling better than I have felt in several weeks, no more sciatic pain!! I've gained more than my Dr would like me to, but I'm not worried about that anymore. I'm enjoying this pregnancy, because after August 18th, I will be back on track. I'm already looking forward to resuming my workouts. I have missed zumba!!
I'm starting to feel the stress though. I feel like there is so much we still have to do. Layla's room isn't finished yet, but hopefully it won't be too much longer. Her closet is getting full but I still don't feel like she has alot for the first several months. I was given a bunch of clothes, but most of them are 6 months and up....so I'm already worried about what I'm going to dress her in! We don't have alot of the necessities, like a changing pad or sheets. I wasn't sure if I was going to have a shower this time around so I haven't bought much...and now I feel like I'm running out of time.
And I'm also starting to think about how finacially strained we are going to be. Having a newborn in daycare for 3-4 days and Noah in CDO for 4 days, I am actually wondering how we're going to make it. I came back to work during the week to give us family time but was that the right decision? I didn't enjoy working weekends, but it was nice to be off during the week and not have childcare for the first year of Noah's life. I don't regret putting him in CDO, he loves it. But now I am already starting to think about how Layla will be in daycare and I won't get that bonding time with her that I did with Noah. I just wish we were in a position that I didn't have to work, but I know that every mom feels that way.
On a positive note, we are going for our 3-D ultrasound this weekend, and I can't wait to get a look to see what she's going to look like!
