kristen's fairytale

so being pregnant i have decided is a love/hate relationship! i love being able to feel my little man's kicks and i can't help but already feel a great connection with him and love him lots, but then there are my random spouts of getting sick, my back issues, heartburn, and not that this is bad just yet, but sometimes his kicks and movements hurt.  his kicks are getting a lot stronger and sometimes it will catch me off guard and cause me to jump a little. the weirdest is when he gets really high up and just hangs out there and pushes up. it's a crazy amount of pressure and i can only imagine what it's going to feel like when he gets even bigger. seriously, it's so weird feeling him move into a position and putting my hand there and feeling some hard body part or another of his. as uncomfortable as it gets sometimes i still wouldn't change it for anything. i've always wanted to know what it feels like and i already feel an intense bond with him. i really just can't wait to meet him! funny thing is right now he is just kicking up a storm, and i think he has the hiccups.

as of right now i'm just chugging along and hoping that i can continue working and make it another month. i still need to work it out with my work, but i'm thinking of using my two weeks vacation at the beginning of may and then after that start my fmla leave since i get 12 weeks, and as long as i deliver around my due date that would give me 10 weeks before going back to work. plus, that would give me about a month off and i think both me and my body would appreciate it. i'd have about a month to just relax and get everything situated for the baby's arrival. working full time and being 31 weeks preggo is pretty exhausting and i pretty much use all my energy at work and as soon as i come home i just want to crash and relax. i always think that on my day off i'm going to get something big accomplished, but then all i want to do is sleep in and just lounge around all day. i know that by the time i'd take some time off from work i'd be around 36 weeks pregnant so i'll probably have less energy, but i'm thinking i'll have more time to get things done, or at least hope that i'm more motivated. anywho, seeley is still moving around like crazy and it's making it hard to think so this will just have to be a short little update.
