Entry # 9

Monday April 28, 2008

This past Friday was my 13th week of pregnancy which I believe is the start of my second trimester. The pregnancy is going well. A week ago I had my first ultrasound. Everything is fine with the baby. It's growth is right on track for how along I am. And I am not having twins. Just one baby in there. I'm feeling pretty good as far as the pregnancy goes. But now I have another sinus infection. It started on Friday and came out of no where. Usually when I get one there are signs that I'm getting one a couple days before I actually do but this time it just hit my right away. I hate these things. And I hate them even more when I have them when I'm pregnant. I had one while I was pregnant with Lucas. And I know I need an antibiotic but the strongest thing they can probably give me being pregnant is augmenten. I think that's what I took when I had Lucas. Usually my I have to take levaquin. Today I'm going to see my doctor. I'm hoping she can give me something to take that will help me feel better but that will also be safe for me to take.

This Thursday is our official moving date. Mike's mom came down from Wisconsin to stay with us and help us with the move. I don't know what I'd do if she wasn't here. Especially now that I'm sick. And alot of other family and friends have been helping us pack and move.

Last Wednesday Mike had surgery on his knee. He tore the meniscus in his knee. So now he has to wear this brace on his leg and is on crutches for about a month. He's been out of work also for the past two weeks. He's getting a workman's comp. from work but they only pay 60 percent. So it's been a rough time with Mike not being able to get around and help and with me being pregnant and now sick too. What bad timing. But I'm glad we're moving. It's a 2 bedroom apartment. Well really it's a duplex so there's one family that lives above us. But Mike knows the lady that lives there with her husband and 2 kids. They went to high school together and she's also an nurse and the doctor office that he goes to. So that's good that we're going to know who lives above us.

Lucas is doing good. He will be a year old in less than a month. May 24th! We're going to have a birthday party for him at our new house. It had a big back yard and a deck, so there will be plenty of room to have all of our family and friends over for the big occasion. We're just going to do a cook out. Lucas is starting to walk around but only if he's holding onto things. Occasionally he'll let go and stand there for a few seconds but then he falls down. It's like when he's standing there he doesn't know what to do next. But I'm sure any day now he'll take his first steps. The past couple days he's been saying mama. I'm not sure if he says it because he know what the word means or if he says it because he hears us say it to him. But it seems like he might actually know what it means. He doesn't say it much but usually when he does it's because he's trying to get my attention. So that's pretty cool.
