If I told you I'd have to kill you.

 Well I finally shared the news with everyone (via FB. That's considered everyone right?) And I couldn't be more thrilled with all the love and support we recieved. Not that I wouldn't think that everyone would be excited, but I have been so hesitant to share anything in case 'something' happened. But as my awesome Cory said, 'Why hold off sharing exciting news with friends and family 'just in case'?'
 Well this past week was exciting. We experienced our first California earthquake. I guess it was a small one to California standards (3.9) But it was still exciting and the highlight at our house for a few days. :)
We had a meeting with our midwifery this week too to go over some concerns that we had. I have been worried that I made the wrong decsion and have nit picked every little thing. Cory was great and able to come with me and ask questions. They made us feel very comfortable and happy. And I'm so glad Cory made me go and speak with them.
We were able to go up to LA and do a Hollywood sign tour, stalk celebrity houses, drive Rodeo Drive, and just wander the Higland and Hollywood area (crazies alert!). It was so fun to be able to get out and do something random and fun. I feel like all we do is work. So it was a nice break. We got some fun pictures and I realized that my belly is starting to get really noticeable. I still can hide it a little bit, but not much. I don't know why, but I am a little embarassed by having a gut. Is that normal? Haha. It was ok at first because I subconsiously suck in my stomach all the time. It was annoying when we'd try to take the early pictures and could never really see it because I was sucking in without noticing. But now I can't really do that anymore! I think I did get my first pity though thanks to my little belly. It was pretty warm and I was exhausted. So we stopped at a little courtyard and I sat down on a big planter in the shade. A little bit later a security guard came up to us and told me I could not sit there. The moment I stood up she then told us that there were chairs further in and even shaded ones on the lower level. Yes! Lindsey - 1. And I'm sure the points will keep adding up as time goes on. It's been funny to see people that I know notice my belly and do a total double wide eyed take, but who is going to ask me? It's so funny to know what they are thinking, but I never say anything, and then to hear them later talking to someone else about me. I've become quite the mystery.
 Working every day is getting very tiring. I keep trying to truck along, but I am so exhausted every night. I wonder every day how much longer I'll be able to do both jobs. Hopefully I'll be able to hold on as long as I can. I have been looking into different options for working at home type jobs for when baby comes, but haven't really found anything that jumps out at me. So if anyone has any suggestions that'd be great.
 Baby still has been kicking like crazy! I love it so much. We are so grateful for this exciting time in our lives!

Hollywood!

  1. Don't worry, sweet girl. This exhaustion will wear off. You'll actually hit kind of a "high" and that's when you should get your house ready for Baby K!
