24 weeks!



This week has been interesting. Just when I thought I was feeling better and over this cold, I started feeling like crap again. My sinuses were on fire and it hurt to touch them and my cough become worse to a point where I couldn't take a deep breath without coughing. Went to the doctor and they prescribed me some antibiotics. Needless to say I'm feeling much better! In other news I've started feeling the babies kick more! I started noticing it when I was on vacation. At first I wasn't sure what it was because the kicks just felt like little muscle spasms. I was actually sitting at the doctor offices when they were really kicking and as I was sitting there, I watched my stomach move up and down in one this little spot. It was really cool to see

In more exciting news Tyrel got hired by a new company called Three Phase Electric based in Clackamas. This is a huge relief for us. We still have decided to put the house buying process on hold though. Yes both us will be working again but with me going on maternity leaving in early March and then not knowing when I plan on going back to work, it will still put us in a difficult situation of getting a house loan. It just puts a lot of pressure on us in trying to find a house within the next 3 months, which could result in us buying a house we really don't want. Tyrel and I both think it's better to just stick with finding a new rental until we are a little more financial stable (I laugh at that phase haha) and possibly closer to when Tyrel is done with school. It's not part of the our "plan" but of course life never is, considering we were only expecting one baby, but I think this will be better in the long run. The problem we are having is coming up with a deposit. I started a gofundme website but it turns out they wanted too much personal information I didn't feel comfortable giving so I deleted it. We have money in our savings we can use and some family members have offered giving us some money which we are truly grateful for.
