25 weeks in Missouri

It is interesting that I have spent almost my entire 2nd trimester (well, the parts that I feel good) in Missouri.  With the 2 weeks in June and 3/4 of July that I am here, I will be gone from my house for 6 out of the last 7 weeks.  This time working on the  house started a little bit later.  We had family at the house for a week and we went to Kansas City for a little over a  day too.  

So, now I am 25 weeks along in Missouri.  I don't have the information I need to make a complete post on how things are going, so here is my attempt.

Milestones reached...Theoretically, Marsi is 2 pounds.  She also has theoretically broken the 12 inches long head to foot length.  Such a smart little girl to have grown so big!  I was able to sit and watch my belly dance on its own when Marsi was in a hyper mood.  There is absolutely no doubt about what I feel when she kicks my hand.  She plays the kick where I poke game about 1/3 the times that I want to play.  

How I feel...I am getting bigger so that comes with the common pregnancy ailments. I haven't had to take a lot of my medication.  I think I am completely off of my nausea medication!  I thought the day would never come!  

So, that really is Marsi and I in a nutshell.  The posts will be better when I get home.

In Missouri

I spent the last 2 weeks in Missouri helping my mom set up their new home.   They didn't have internet there so I didn't blog.  The last 2 weeks of pregnancy have gone well.  I am able to not take as much Zofran anymore.  I am looking bigger, but not measuring that much bigger, and not bigger at all in weight.  I feel Marsi consistently now.  I have even felt her really strong with my hand.  I am hoping within the next week Endrit will be able to be around for that lovely moment before I head to Missouri again for another 2 weeks.

Honestly, I am starting to freak out a little bit.  I imagine that most, if not all, pregnant women go through this stage.  Marsi is most likely coming within the next 4 months.  Endrit needs to find a job, and about a million other things.  I don't know if I will be giving birth in Utah or North Carolina...or Delaware!  All I see is the unknown.  I have faith.  I get peace when I pray about it.  But, every once in a while, I freak.

I had to change my next appointment with the midwife.  I had to postpone it by 20 days!  So almost 3 weeks later.  That makes it almost 2 months between appointments.  My midwife was surprised, but when she found out I would be in Missouri, obviously there was no problem.  I am actually really excited for the appointment that is in 25 days.

While in Missouri, my mom redid 2 rooms of the house.  It was hard work for sure!  I rested enough.  It looks amazing!  I really hope my mom does a blog so everyone can see the change.  We had fun.
