Long Days

Nick has been working late the last 2 weeks, like 10-11pm late.

All I wonder/ask:

Is it busy season??

Nope.

Why do you have to work so much??

Because that is just how it is- always a crisis.

As much as I am grateful for his job and the possibilities it holds for us...

I seriously hate his job and so does Austin.

Long days = Austin doesn't see Daddy till the weekend.

But I keep my mouth shut because I know it is harder for Nick than I realize- he loves his Bubba.

It is just these little moments that he looks forward to..

Yesterday Austin lined up his cars & pointed to one,

"This is Momma's car" (it was red with flames going down the side, I must be pretty cool)

Me-  "Where is Daddy's car?"

pause, "It's at work."

Me- "oh....well let's call Daddy to say hi!"

"No, Daddy's busy."

As for baby #2, she is doing great and moving like crazy. We will just lie in bed at night and watch my belly contort in all kinds of weird ways.

I went to the doctor today (every 2 weeks now!) and was concerned about lots of pain I have been feeling. It used to just be after I exercised & that is normal since she is heavier and it is more pressure. But now it is constant and throbbing- it pretty much just feels like she is going to fall right out.

The doc said I am not dilated, so we don't need to worry about that but suggested I wear a belly support band.

Umm.. no thanks.

If you only knew how many layers I am already wearing and it's August.

The heat is unbearable and with humidity....

I am going to just have to suck it up.
