60 Days of Pictures - Day 3
Day 3
A picture of the cast from your favourite show.
I had a hard time deciding what my favourite show was. I don't watch a lot of television (I don't even have cable), so it was hard. Lately I've been watching a lot of Dragon Ball with my husband and I have been really enjoying that. I watched then entire series of GTO a while ago, and it is seriously one of my favourites. I have never felt so frustrated, sad, happy, angry, etc during a twelve episode show before. I wish they had more seasons. I also really like watching Walking Dead, though I'm not finished watching the second season. It's a longer show (runs 45 minutes without commercials), so we don't always have time to watch it, especially during the week. We'll finish it eventually though ;)

Looking to Move
For the last six or so months, I have been getting increasingly more frustrated at my current place of residence. It's not that it's not a great space - because, trust me, it is. It's just that, it's not a great layout and there are absolutely no closets! Okay, that's a lie. There are two closets, one in my kitchen and one in the entrance way. But these are for storage only. There are no rails for coats in the entranceway closet, plus the ceiling in that one leaks so I am very hesitant on what is put out there.
This apartment is big, open, airy, has great big windows, and there is even a little back porch that we use way more often than the main door that goes out into the hall. It's just that storage is non-existent, and the bedrooms are really awkward. We won't have a whole lot of space for R in L's room (when she's born), and because of the layout, we can't move the girls into the master bedroom. The main hallway of the apartment is right on the other side of the master bedroom, and it's really echoy. Not to mention no one in this building as the common courtesy to not yell and scream as soon as they are in the hall. Yes. Grown men and women hooting, hollering, and carrying on like immature children. It's really frustrating.
I have been looking around town for some larger accommodations for our growing family, but up until recently our budget wasn't in our favour. Now that Z is working more (and I will be getting a larger Child Tax Benefit cheque after R is born), we are able to branch out a little more. I found a place near by that's a semi-detached house with two bedrooms and a yard. It looks great judging by the pictures. There weren't any pictures of the bedrooms (or at least it didn't seem like it), so we are going to look at the place on the weekend. I'm hoping that it's everything we've dreamed of and more, haha.
We won't be able to move until July at the earliest (have to give my current landlord one month's notice), but that's still a deadline that I am more comfortable with than the one we have going for the low-income housing complex we were approved for. The waiting list we are on can take anywhere between two months to two years. Not really something I want to deal with when we need more space now.
I am really looking forward to seeing this place! My Mom drove by it today and said that the yard looks amazing, even if it is small. A small yard is better than no yard in my opinion! Guess we'll find out on Saturday if it's worth moving for!

Is It Too Soon..
..to start feeling the "okay is this pregnancy over yet?" blues?
I have not enjoyed this pregnancy, to be completely honest. Judging by my pregnancy with L, I was sure that this one was going to be just as awesome (aches, pains, nausea, and heartburn aside). But frankly, it has been everything but enjoyable. Yes, feeling R kick and squirm and move around inside me is pretty cool, but the fact that I remember L being more active has me constantly worried whether something is wrong.
Plus I have this nagging feeling that she's going to be born earlier than expected. Like.. a lot earlier. But I'm hoping that's just normal worries and stuff.
Now I'm dealing with this insane bloating and terrible stomach aches (especially around lunch and supper) that have me almost gagging at the thought of eating. I'm supposed to be consuming a lot more calories than I think I am. Judging by an online pregnancy calorie counter I used, I should be consuming around 2056 calories a day. I doubt I get that much (unless my sweet tooth kicks in or my craving for pizza).
I try not to get too bent out of shape about calories and whatever, but I really do worry whether I'm eating adequately for the both of us. I guess that's probably something all moms-to-be go through. Doesn't make it suck any less ;) Haha.
I am going to call my OB today (as soon as L goes for her nap ¬_¬) and see what she says about my bloating and stuff. I am also going to try and eat more plain, homemade foods. Rice, roasted vegetables, smoothies.. the type of stuff that's not hard on the stomach, but is very nutritious for you. I'm also really going to try and make an effort to ingest more fruit rather than always reaching for chocolate. Chocolate is what I crave the most, so it will be hard some times.. but chocolate also makes my heartburn worse, so maybe that will be enough incentive to stop. Maybe. Haha.

60 Days of Pictures - Day 2
Day 2
A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest.
My husband. Even though we have only been together for almost 5 years, married for almost 3, you know more about me than even what I know about myself. Things I've kept secret from everyone else in my life, I've been comfortable enough to tell you. I really would be nothing without you. <3
