Oh Happy Day!
TWENTY-ONE WEEKS, FIVE DAYS
I absolutely, positively believe I may explode from happiness right now. This Saturday I have our first ultrasound scheduled so we'll finally have a name for this kiddo who has been beating up my belly button for the last week! I also received a call from Giant Eagle today about a cashier position (they just filled their last Eagle's Nest position) and will be hearing back tomorrow to see if I can schedule the interview on Wednesday. I'll also be spending five days with Jared and his kids!
I wish I could add a poll to this thing, so I can see what people think, whether kiddo's a girl or boy! If you're reading this, leave your guesses in the comments? Also... I'll have to drink 32 ounces of water before the ultrasound. I'm just hoping I don't piss myself before then. My goodness.

S'all Good!
TWENTY-ONE WEEKS, THREE DAYS
Feeling pretty tired (and happy!) lately, so here's just a quick post. I'm 21 weeks now and baby's a banana, so s/he's 10.5 inches and 12.7 ounces. I'm still working toward receiving medical assistance, but I've scheduled my monthly appointment for this Friday. Tomorrow morning I'll be calling around to see if I can set up an ultrasound for that Friday, as well. I cannot wait to see this little one! The kicks are getting stronger and stronger every day!
Life has been a whirlwind the last...six months, I'll say, but I think it's finally leveling itself out. I spent the weekend in Ohio with a really good friend who I'm now in a relationship with. His name is Jared and is a daddy himself to two amazing kids and I'm in awe of all of them. I am very happy and relaxed. I've met his family and they are so understanding and accepting of my situation. They are the kindest folks! It's all so unbelievable! It's happening fast, which made me nervous at first, however I'm comfortable - and we're happy and healthy.

Cantaloopy
TWENTY WEEKS
I'm 20 weeks along today! I can't believe kiddo and I have made it half-way already! I can't believe s/he's the size of a cantaloupe... So about 6.5 inches and weighing 10.2 ounces. I have been feeling the baby move around pretty much nonstop!
It's amazing how many things can change in a week. Just a little over a week ago I thought I was moving to Milwaukee, found out the last year and a half of my life was a weird, weird dramedy, and thought I was going to watch my child's early years in a women's homeless shelter. I think that week may have been the lowest, absolutely lowest in my life. I never want to go back to that.
Today I live in a nice house in Butler County with people close to my family. I just moved here on Monday and already I have emergency food stamps, with cash and medical assistance on the way. Things are running so much smoother now. Also, a Giant Eagle close to here is hiring for an Eagle's Nest attendant! I really hope to get it. I have the background and I love working with kids. I think this would be an amazing job to have, especially at this stage.

I've Moved!
NINETEEN WEEKS, FOUR DAYS
I'm all moved into Dave's house! I'll be unpacking today, re-applying for benefits (but this time should go smoother now that I'm away from the city), applying for jobs, and going bananas over all the baby things I've received from my friend Sals and her aunt.
I'm thinking of starting a pregnancy/baby diary that's documents kiddo's kicking and movement, as well as daily symptoms, then when the baby's here I'll write down the times s/he goes to sleep, needs a diaper change, when s/he eats... I think that may help to understand kiddo's schedule a bit better. I have a small journal I bought so long ago and never used, so that'll be perfect...
We may be setting up the baby room within the next few days! I am so ready to get my nesting on.
