Possibly a Bump, a New Job, and Plans

Updating has not been my strong suit! Maybe when we start getting baby things together I will be posting more. Today I am 19 weeks and 4 days along. If you ask me, I am already halfway through because I am hoping this little one comes out a wee bit early. That is so unbelievable in a paradoxical way. I feel like I've been pregnant forever, but the weeks drag on so slow. Here is a picture of my possible "bump"

It isn't very much, and to me, I still just look fatter, but Jacob says I look pregnant and I guess I'll just go with that! I really want to buy another pair of maternity pants... In fact, I have to! I got a job at Wal-Mart, which isn't exactly my dream job, but I am excited to contribute and even more excited to be able to save some money for our little baby. I am not sure when I start, but hopefully soon!

Jacob and I have been talking a lot about plans for when Sweet-Tart gets here. Sure, its pretty soon to be worrying about this, but as always, our ginormo families play a big factor in that. My mom is coming down for the birth and will be staying for only a few days. I am really excited to have my momma here during that time, sometimes I still cry for my momma when I am sick and especially when I toss my cookies. It will be nice to have her in the delivery room, I think. Don't get me wrong, Jacob is my number one support system and best friend, but there is something about a mom that is comforting. After that we don't know what to do. We think it'd be nice to have a week or so to ourselves with the baby, getting in the groove, laying some semblance of a schedule, let myself heal a bit, all that stuff. Its a sticky situation to us, we want family to visit, we want everyone to meet our baby, but I just can't help but wonder how overwhelming that will feel right off the bat.

I can't worry too much about that stuff now. I have finals coming up and even though I only have two, I am pretty stressed out about that! Still hoping our doctor lets us do that ultrasound a few days early so I don't have to wonder about it through finals. We'll see!

Love, the Christians- Jacob, Jess, Cricket, Courage, and the Mango growing in my uterus!
